When everyone on your side is giving you advice late in a campaign, you’re losing.

IMHO...
I think she is just a place holder till they get a chance to run Newsome.
Trump will win and it will be NON STOP, 4 years of how Horrible Trump is and they will hang that around Vance’s neck. Newsome will be promoted as the Glorious Lib Savior to set things right.

Dowd is probably aware of how silly this is. If not she’s kookie

Dowd has been around for quite awhile. If you have the stomach for it, you can go back and read her past articles. I believe this will confirm (beyond a shadow of a doubt) that she is kooky.

Pic Rules #3, #4 and #5

Pic Rule - Unofficial, but strictly enforced rule that pictures of unpleasant liberal women must be accompanied by pictures of beautiful women; if beautiful women are mentioned a picture must follow (and inevitably controlled by Helen Thomas) (thanks NonLinear and dinasour). Specific rules follow:
1. If your post mentions Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin, you must post a pic of her.
2. Female equivalent to the Ann Coulter rule. The Bibi (Netanyahu) and Bill Sammon’s rule. Followed by the word THUD in bold. “Thud” refers to the sound made by Freepettes when they hit the floor after swooning over various males of the species.
3. Maureen Dowd (MoDo) is accompanied by Catherine Zeta Jones (because actor Michael Douglas dumped her for Zeta Jones).
4. Posting of Catherine Zeta Jones are usually followed by a post of a Maureen Dowd pic
5. If your post mentions Michael Douglas, you must post a pic of Catherine Zeta Jones.
6. If your post mentions Sarah Palin (aka “Barracuda” or “Sarahcuda” - a high school nickname derived from her athletic prowess), you must post a pic of her and/or her husband Todd (for the FReepettes).
7. Helen Thomas - Whenever any of Rules #1 - #6 are invoked, it will sooner or later become obligatory to post a pic of Helen Thomas. I think this was instituted as the FR equivalent of spiking the thread with saltpeter...
8. If Helen Thomas is mentioned, a picture will be posted. Groans usually follow. See also Helen Thomas in Freeper Pictures/Images.

If there isn't an explicit rule for this, there should be:

After a pic of Helen Thomas (or other gruesome liberal woman), a suitable "eye bleach" photo of a beautiful woman must be posted to provide relief,

You made us think about Helen Thomas, and now I have to fix it.
