I detest writers who use a thesaurus like they are 15 years old and trying to impress the English teacher they have such a crush on. I read Rick Atkinson's An Army at Dawn and used at least 100 words that 99% of his readers, myself included, had never heard of and which are never used in any regular conversation. It got incredibly irritating having to resort to the dictionary so often. And it was a real shame because his research appeared to be outstanding.

What a truly joyless and unhappy woman.
I'm almost starting to feel sorry for her.
Not!

"Watching Bush supporters shred a war hero into a war criminal was tiring."
That was the easy part. Kerry admitted he was a war criminal before congress. Bush and Cheney didn't have to say anything about it, letting Kerry's own words do all the talking.

Dowd really wrote "pussy-whipped", but the editor changed it in the name of good taste.

I'm getting tired of thinking up new ways of saying that Maureen Dowd is totally out to lunch and that she's dragging the NY Times down into the gutter.
She can't think and she can't write. So why are they keeping her on? Howell Raines had an affair with her and probably felt guilty about firing her after they broke up. But what's their excuse now?
I mean, other than the fact that Pinch Sulzberger is an idiot?

Then you have people like Rush, "women 'farding' in the car on the way to work."
I think he is still laughing over that one!
I've caught more than one person, "I'm not familiar with that word, what does it mean?"
I quit doing it at company staff meetings - quick way to make an enemy for life.

Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney... [cast] John Kerry as the feminized guy who couldn't get his sports references straight, the sort who would sashay about in Yves St. Laurent pajamas, dithering, whither-ing, and fetching bottled water for Teresa while the burglar alarm rangNICE JOB, MAUREEN...
The perfect characterization of Kerry here...

I honestly think that the NYT is so completely out of touch with reality that they don't understand what is happening to them. If they hadn't gone to worldwide satellite publication several years ago, they probably would have gone out of business.

Boy, these people have tunnel vision....they don't recognize all the wrong doing, law breaking, lying, cheating, etc. of their own party.

"I understand the Democrat Party's adjustment to their national minority status is frustrating, but their crushing defeat ... should show them that the American people are tired of the politics of personal destruction." Spoken like a true Daddy.

Oh my! What a snooty arrogant priss Maureen is!
For all I care she can stay on the upper west side and go to all those dem/lib socialite Upitty parties and remain totally irrelevant...more so than Kerry will ever be.
You may like that she called Kerry lame, but that was an arrogant cheapass shot at him!
She's nothing more than a SB!

Perhaps you could work on your vocabulary a bit. Perhaps you could sit on something hard and rotate for a bit.
Did that make you feel good?
Congrats. You just classified yourself as one of the "speed bumps in life".
Minor irration, but run over anyway.
You are a jerk.
Glad you feel so good about yourself.
