Its almost spring, and it looks like Maureen has had enough of dating the metrosexual Aaron Sorkin..

[Thumper1960]

Run, Clint, RUN!!!

[wagglebee]

You forgot the pictures!!!

[goldstategop]

I'm surprised MoDo is hankering after a libertarian. That's even worse than lusting after a conservative! ;-)

Aaron Sorkin dumped her awhile back.

[elhombrelibre]

She's a woman without a clue and a callow columnist stuck in the quagmire of Liberal twaddle.

[gopwinsin04]

You mean pictures of this guy?

It should be noted that several years ago, Clint Eastwood was involved in a lawsuit with a disabled woman, who got several diasability groups to go after him.

He actually talked to members of congress about getting changes made in the ADA that would help out small businesses.

The disability advocacy groups protested him, he eventually settled his case (the lawsuit), and I don't know if his proposed changed ever took place, but I do know he held a deep grudge.

It should be noted, this movie was written by him after that case ended, and the woman who sued him, thinks the movie is directed at her.

if Clint is smart he will euthanize her.

[gopwinsin04]

I guess MoDo couldn't handle all the drugs he was taking..

[gopwinsin04]

I dont even think ol' Gunny Highway could whip Maureen into shape now..

[Lancey Howard]

Sorkin dumped her?? LOL, any woman who gets dumped by a mouse like Sorkin may as well head for Ground Zero with a shotgun.

[Rummyfan]

When MoDo is taken off the editorial page of the Slimes, I will know our victory over the MSM is complete.

[Sonny M]

I guess MoDo couldn't handle all the drugs he was taking..

Actually, she had no problem putting up with his crackhead ways, remember, he DUMPED her.

LOL.

Every now and then, she'll write a depressing article about her own life, its pretty clear, she is not a happy woman.

[gopwinsin04]

I knew from the tone of her Christmas columns that she is seriously unbalanced.

[shrinkermd]

What surprises me is how little actual thinking she does in doing her column. She is obviously well educated and an excellent writer, but her ideology is unclear except that she is anti-religion and anti-commonly held mores and beliefs. She offers nothing in return other than criticisms.

Conservatives, by in large, make their decisions on tradition, customs, laws and the history of their people. Unlike some of her portrayals they are not easily swayed by charismatic figures and seldom are against real change once they understand its merits and how it fits into the history and basis of their country. The result is that conservatives everywhere have things in common. Note they do not depend on a particular ideology. A Tory in Britain has more in common with a conservative than the local MLA professor or a Maureen Dowd editorialist.

Liberals always have an ideology that they adhere to. It used to be socialistic and "share the wealth" but now is more likely some egalitarian beliefs combined with a bedrock belief in stat ism. Ditto for the libertarians, but here the ideology is anti-government and all for the individuals rights even though they collide with social practice and beliefs.

Where Dowd is in the continuum of belief is difficult to say. Perhaps, she is just a kvetch disappointed in love as many describe her.

[gopwinsin04]

Im with Rush here, let her keep her cage in the NY Slimes to throw bird feces at the walls.. even as liberalism dies.

We need reminders of what can happen when these folks are in power.

[wagglebee]

This might do the trick.
