DOWD: KERRY CONVENTION LIKE 'GILLIGAN'S ISLAND'
Drudge Report ^ | 7/31/04 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 07/31/2004 1:39:04 PM PDT by wagglebee

"Given that the Kerry convention featured a skipper brave and sure, a first mate who makes others comfortable, a millionaire called "Lovey" by her spouse, two pretty young Kerry castaways and a movie star (the ubiquitously annoying Ben Affleck), I suppose we should be grateful that Camp Kerry didn't introduce the nominee with the "Gilligan's Island" theme song."

So mocks NYT TIMES Op-Ed Queen, and soon to be bestselling author, Maurren Dowd.

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip."

Dowd is set to fire off her latest Sunday column to the unwashed media savvy.

"At least Teresa Heinz Kerry kept her subliminal message simple: She wore a ketchup-red suit to introduce the second senator in her life.

"Her husband, as usual, went overboard. The Democratic convention, which was focus-group-dial-a-metered to death, needed a dose of dramamine."

Impacting...

It sounds like Dowd is giving the ketchup boy a preview of the "Arkancide" to come.

Maybe, the bigger question is who does Dowd see as Ginger?

Of what possible good can be any scribblings of a deaf psychotic be to any member of adult society?

she probably sees herself as Ginger.

Poor Dowd never got over being dumped by Michael Douglas.

Everybody did. But Mary Ann didn't wear a see-through dress at Cannes. That would have been cool.

It's a tongue-in-cheek play on the term "the unwashed masses". The masses, of course, don't read Dowd. The only people who dig her are those who consider themselves as media savvy sophisticates. Drudge is poking fun at them by referring to them as "unwashed" (which is the kind of snobbery they engage in vis a vis the folks in flyover country).

Lieberman (to Gore) seems to fit the part better.

The closest thing they have to Ginger is Madeline Not-bright.

"At least Teresa Heinz Kerry kept her subliminal message simple: She wore a ketchup-red suit to introduce the second senator in her life.

Maureen's lack of thoughtfulness, apparently is made up for with her feminine appeal....Shheeesh!

In both cases I just don't see the attraction that leads her to be prominent in the media.
