and the liberals are supposed to be the caring, tolerant,
sensitive, feeling, wow cool wonderful people.
just another example of what and who they REALLY are.
maureen dowd should be seriously ashamed.
OOPS.....i forgot,,,,these people have NO shame.
GRRRR!!!!!....I'd like to strangle this freakin' SOB, Maher! Is he a liar, or is he just stupid!?...Laura Bush came out against EMBRYONIC stem cell research, consistent with Pres. Bush's policy, not stem cell research per se. And he has a lot of gall to question Laura Bush's expertise on the issue. What makes Ron Prescott Reagan an expert on the issue?! In fact, to be consistent, Bill Maher should have said before they got into the discussion, "Look, none of us are experts on this, so we should all just shut our big mouths!"
Maureen Dowd should stick to things she knows about, like forgetting her dentures, owning sixty cats, wearing sweaters in August, and screaming at the neighborhood kids who step on her lawn.
It was Al Gore who used the "extra chromosome" comment, not Lee Atwater:
Back in 1994, Al Gore called Oliver North "the colonel of untruth" and said Mr. North was counting on political contributions from "the extra-chromosome right wing."
(Sources: White House Special Briefing, 10/28/94; Washington Times, September 4, 1997 )
AL APOLOGIZES: Vice President Al Gore sent out a letter apologizing for his embarrassing "extra chromosome" jibe at Oliver North supporters, saying he had "learned an important lession [sic]." (Source: National Review, December 31, 1994.)
algore also used this slur against the "religious right" and conservatives when he referred to them as the "extra-chromosome wing of the republican party." He was called on the carpet for it and later apologized in a written statement in which he stated he had "learned an important lession" (sic).
Presidential hopeful John Kerry let down that plastic "Ken doll" hair recently... The juiciest part of the "drinking session" was when he pointed out his picks for sexiest female. He named Charlize Theron and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The first citation I've found on this is from Mark Kleiman's blog:
http://www.markarkleiman.com/archives/lying_in_politics_/2003/11/are_conservatives_prehistoric_humans.php
"This latest nonsense reminds me of an earlier flap about the term "extra-chromosome conservative." That coinage, which I recall being by Reagan's quite conservative political adviser Ed Rollins but which I've also seen attributed to the elder President Bush, was meant to suggest that the more pugnacious elements of the wild-eyed right resembled men with an extra Y chromosome. Those XYY males are somewhat more aggressive and somewhat more likely to engage in violent crime than those of us with only a single Y chromosome. (However, the difference, about a 50% increase in violence, isn't nearly as great as the difference between men and women, which is almost tenfold: the second Y chromosome isn't nearly as criminogenic as the first.) "
I took the phrase as this meaning.
Count me in. I guess I'm an ECC, too.
Dowd is a bitter, dried-up hag, whose adolescent "humor" becomes progressively more repellant the older she gets. Her attempts at hipness make me wince; I'd call her pathetic, except her bitterness makes her a singularly unsympathetic figure.
She is a wench, and I have not read any of this wnech's article for a long time. Getting angry and wanting to choke the living crap out of someone long distance is not good for a person.

Not a very good idea for Maureen--a practicing Catholic--to go around promoting stem cell research...
