Dark age? Get a grip, people

WASHINGTON — Some of my colleagues in the pundit business have become unhinged by the election results. The always diverting Maureen Dowd of The New York Times wrote the other day that "the forces of darkness" are taking over the country.

The voters' confirmation of Republican-led government brings with it "a scary, paranoid, regressive reality," Dowd said, with "strains of isolationism, nativism, chauvinism, puritanism and religious fanaticism." After a campaign of "blatant distortions and character assassination," Republicans have returned to Washington bent on "messing with our psyches" and punishing "society's most vulnerable: the poor, the sick, the sexually different."

Maureen Dowd is unhinged?

This happened a long long time ago.

[Uncle Vlad]

And to think I believed Bush's election ushered in an American Renaissance. Oh, dopey me.

Wait, I thought the Left's complaint was that Bush was too internationally interventionist and was wrong to believe Arabs capable of representative government unlike we palefaces?

[Arioch7]

Of course, silly Conservative! You have to let the Matrix tell you how YOU think!

You are just a dumb, racist, unsophisticated, religious fundamentalist!

There is NO other reason to vote Republican, so says the Matrix, AKA the MSM.

Just once, could they act just a little bit sane? How do people get so stupid?

Arioch7 out.

[ChicagoRighty]

Dowd was hatched without hinges.

[Uncle Vlad]

Oops, almost forgot. The rules.

[bikepacker67]

Wow! Cath has some monster feet in that pic!

[uncbob]

A Shrink would call what all these delusional dems are doing PROJECTING

[muawiyah]

Maureen Dowd is a punk.

[Arioch7]

What a great rule it is!

I don't think Dowd will EVER get over the Douglas-Jones thing. LOL! what a bitter harpy.

Bikepacker67, it's the camera angle man!

Arioch7 out.

[Ptarmigan]

A Dark Age in their mind.

[Virginia Gentleman]

All right, I give up. What is the connection between Maureen Dowd and photographs of Catherine Zeta Jones? Not that I am complaining.

[GSlob]

Maybe for the fun of it we should try to parody Dowd's style with all those "ism" words? Say, "blatantism", "distortionism", character "assassinism" and so on? I think there are some possibilities for creative usage.

[Rummyfan]

Michael Douglas dumped Modo to take up with Catherine Z-J. Probably the best decision he ever made!

[Cobra64]

This woman is a nut case. I do not have a clue as to why she would make these statements. Me thinks she's been eating the wrong kind of mushrooms for too many years followed by black beauties and shots of JD. Too bad her logic and journalism is not at the same level as her physical appearance.

[Katya]

Douglas dumped Dowdier for the Joneses...can you blame him?

[maestro]

Dark age? Get a grip, people ............it's .......'Google-II'

[Boazo]

I don't see anything!
