Slump Busting ... and MoDo ain't happy about it!

Our favorite Blue State Bubble Girl - MoDo - is in yet another "snit". She was none too pleased to learn that baseball players and feminism go together like Liberals and Sunday School picnics. MoDo went wading in the septic field of Jose Canseco's current tell-all. GUESS WHAT? She found out that pro athletes don't exactly put wimmen on a pedestal. (Sorta like Mo's #1 sweetie Ye Olde Slickster). On the brighter side ... Jose found a new career for Molly, Eleanor and Teresa - "Slump Busters.

I thought everybody knew about “Slump Busters”. Of course I also thought everybody knew that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is a bad day to travel anywhere, and that John Kerry is a space alien. Apparently everybody does not know these fundamental “of courses”.

Our favorite titan-tressed dyke with her finger in the little Dutch boy … Maureen “MoDo” Dowd of the New York Times … is OUTRAGED. (Yawn!) No, this time it’s not over the celebration of Christmas, the re-election of George Bush, or Michael Douglas’ not admitting he made a mistake picking Catherine Zeta-Jones over “MoDo”. This time it’s over the long-standing baseball tradition of “Slump Busting”. Best divert the eyes of the young’ans. This one’s going to get “carnal”.

I speak jive, but not hip hop.

[N. Theknow]

Michael Douglas was in a slump?

Who knew?

Aside from her own personal issues, I think Maureen Dowd is right.

[Clemenza]

About what?

[cyborg]

it's degrading to women, and men who degrade women shouldn't be so admired by the masses.

[tet68]

Yep, Buckle Bunnies, Bwhahahah!

[Tax-chick]

I agree with you. But on the other hand, a woman, no matter what she looks like, who has a one-night stand with a baseball player knows she's not the love of his life. He's using her to do his business, and she's using him so she can brag about a brush with celebrity, as it were. They both have trashy motives. Either they have a good time, or they don't ... and the cosmos is that one little bit cruddier.

[cyborg]

Not every woman knows a baseball player. I would not recognize most baseball players. How would you like it if some guy picked you to be his slump busting babe for the night? I don't know if I believe some woman is going to brag about sleeping with Conseco. He picked those women because they're very ugly.

You know the rules....where's Catherine's pic???

[Vision Thing]

Michael Douglas was in a slump?

Who knew?

Well, MoDo was the perfect slump buster for Michael Douglas: After MoDo, he got Catherine Zeta Jones.

[Tax-chick]

Not every woman knows a baseball player.

I suppose that's true, but every woman knows a horndog, especially if she's hanging out in places where she's likely to be picked up by one. I don't see that his motives for picking one woman over another make much difference ... it wouldn't make it any better if he chose an unattractive woman because he thought she'd be desperate and wouldn't care that he's a creep!

[seadevil]

Well...what you say is correct in theory. But the hard reality is that there are many women who would tell you that being a slut for the "A" list of any endeavor (sports, acting, etc.) is far from degrading; that it is a trait that should be admired. Not coincidentially, there are many men (women, too) who are more than willing to accept the attention. Some even accept it as just another part of their particular endeavor; dealing with it in much the same way as you and I sneeze.

[cyborg]

A person who would sleep with a sports personality that way is in a pretty sad mental state.

[bill1952]

Oh, I don't know.

While it is certainly true that not every woman knows BB, it is also certainly true that there are many groupies out there, willing to bust any "slump" into history.

I've seen them at many a game in Phila, and some might make a sailor blush.

MoDo understands that professional athletes are not wonderful role models?

Does she also know that the sky is blue, the world is round, and that Bush is her president, whether she likes it or not?

** I don't think she knows that yet :o)

Bingo...once, a few years back, I was at a dinner at a hotel in NYC where a visiting NBA team was staying...we're going out the lobby, about 10PM..and there have to be several hundred young women, all attractive..and, how shall I put this tactfully, dressed "obviously" to get noticed..all milling about inside and outside..I asked the doorman if there was a hookers convention..he said they were all waiting for the Heat team bus to arrive from the airport..
