WASHINGTON — I've been surprised, out on the road, how often I get asked about my family. They're beyond red - more like crimson. My sister flew to West Virginia in October to work a phone bank for W.
People often wonder what our Thanksgiving is like.
It's lovely - if you enjoy hearing about how brilliant Ann Coulter is, how misguided The New York Times's editorial page is, and how valiant the president is as he tries to stop America's slide into paganism.
This year, my brothers were on the warpath about news reports that Maryland public schools did not teach about Thanksgiving from a religious perspective. "Who do they think the Pilgrims thanked?" demanded Martin. "God."
There are moments - when my brothers are sharing some snarky thing Rush Limbaugh said about me, or the latest bon mot from Pat Buchanan, with whom they grew up - that I'm tempted to stuff my ears with my mom's potato stuffing, or go off and read a book by David Sedaris about normal family life.
People often ask me why President Bush inspires such passionate support. My brother Kevin, a salesman who lives in Montgomery County, Md., can answer that; here is a recent e-mail message, trimmed for space, he sent to friends:
"Ladies and Gentlemen,
Now, just as four years ago, I breathe a huge sigh of relief and rejoice in the common sense of the American voting public. Congratulations to President Bush for winning re-election in a poker game played with a stacked deck. No candidate, including Richard Nixon, ever had to endure the biased and unfair tactics of our major media in their attempt to influence the outcome of an election. ... He never complained, just systematically set about delivering the same consistent message. You may remember that four years ago, I felt physically ill watching the Democrats try to legislate their way to the presidency. ...
A very big thank you to Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, Rob Reiner, Bill Maher, Barbra Streisand, Alec Baldwin, Al Franken and Jon Stewart for your involvement. You certainly energized the base. Now, please have the courage of your convictions and leave the country.
To Bob Shrum - Cut your fee.
To Mike McCurry, Joe Lockhart and Paul Begala - You don't seem quite as smart without a great candidate.
To The New York Times and The Washington Post - If Bush and Reagan were so stupid, how did they both go four for four in elections involving two of our biggest states and the presidency without your endorsement?
We do not live in a secular country. There are all sorts of people of faith that place moral values over personal freedoms. They are not all 'wacky evangelicals.' They are people who don't like Howard Stern piping a hard porn show over the airwaves and wrapping himself in the freedom of the First Amendment. They don't like being told that a young girl does not have to seek her mother's counsel about an abortion. They don't like seeing an eight-month-old fetus having his head punctured and his brains sucked out. They don't like being told the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of silent prayer and the words 'under God' are offensive to an enlightened few so nobody should be allowed to use them. ... My wife and I picked our sons' schools based on three criteria: 1) moral values 2) discipline 3) religious maintenance - in that order. We have spent an obscene amount of money doing this and never regretted a penny. Last week on the news, I heard that the Montgomery County school board voted to include a class with a 10th-grade girl demonstrating how to put a condom on a cucumber and a study of the homosexual lifestyle. The vote was 6-0. I feel better about the money all the time.
To Dan Rather - Good luck in your retirement.
To Gavin Newsom - Thanks for all of the great shots of the San Francisco couples embracing their mates at City Hall in direct defiance of the law.
To P. Diddy - 'Vote or Die' might need a little work.
To John Edwards - Thanks for being there.
To my friends - only 1,460 days until the next election. Stay vigilant. The Democrats, CBS, the NY Times and the Post may think Hillary is the perfect antidote for all those 'stupid' voters out there.
Best regards, Kevin"
There is a black sheep in every family. Maybe she was dropped at birth.
You nailed it. Are you Kevin ?
Maureen Dowd should simply get her brother to ghost-write all of her columns. This was the first Maureen Dowd column I enjoyed reading in a long time. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if she is called in on the carpet by Pinch for daring to include Kevin's direct smack to the face of the NY Times.
Ahhh.... this explains why she's so bitter. Her whole schtick is to get back at her family.
No, she is the extra chromosome member of her family...now before anyone gets offended...let's remember back when it was ok to say that about conservatives...and who said it...
I say we invite Mo's Brother to the Freeper Ball...I'm serious, who's game?
And Sister Mo doesn't have an effing clue.
Dittoes my folks. Last Christmas .45MAN (hubby) and my Dad got into a shouting match when Dad referred to president Bush as "Your war-monger president." My Mom called for a truce and a promise to never discuss politics again. We've complied, but Dad still manages to get in some digs.
At 74 and 79 years old I know I'm not going to change them, bless their hearts.
Fascinating. What happened to her? That's the real question.
It is good to see that Dowd is at least forced to interact with the other side a few times a year, although it appears to be to no avail.

Wanna send her off the deep end?
Here's what I did for some very liberal friends of mine.
I got one of Rush's books, set it up on top of a piece of furniture in the living room and set up a couple of candles (one on either side). When they visited, I lit the candles and commented loudly on my 'shrine.'
Works like a charm.
Dig back. At 74 or 79, if they aren't gonna change, it will be fun watching their heads explode.
OMG! That is too funny. Mom said I was brain washed (LOL), I told her it didn't matter, I said Rush me I could still love my liberal Mom.
Oh! it was so much fun. She is so cute when she flustered.
*I said Rush I could
You could also go on a turkey shoot with Ann.
Condi Rice/Ann Coulter 2008
Heheheheh... what I really love about that article is her family repeatedly saying how much they love Ann Coulter, given that Coulter refers to MoDo in the hardcopy edition of Slander on pages 112, 124, 130, 139, 141, 148, 150, 154, 155 amd 192... and it's not exactly glowing praise.
Example: in referring to Kitty Kelley's totally unsourced smears, "Yet her book was treated as hard news at the New York Times in the heavy-breathing account of then-reporter Maureen Dowd. A few years hence, Dowd would be hooting that the Starr Report demonstrated only Ken Starr's 'cravings for ecstasy'. Not only was the Starr report concerned with felonies rather than idle gossip, it was at least based on proven facts rather than unsubstantiated gossip. But the Starr Report was 'pornography' (though what Clinton did wasn't 'sex'). Kitty Kelley's purple prose about the Reagans' alleged sexual trysts was literally front-page news at the New York Times."
I can just picture MoDo going into a rage when Ann's name was first favorably mentioned - and her family turning around and saying, "But Mo, um, Ann was right about you. Your double standards are outrageous." Bliss!

Who would have thought that her brother was a stand-up guy?
