From pornography to 'Desperate Housewives' women being degraded has an entertainment value far greater than men being degraded.
People like Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton a lot more once they were 'broken,' ice queens melted into puddles of vulnerability.
Hillary was America's first lady, photographed smiling in her designer dresses as she oversaw table settings and placements for state dinners, even though she did not care about such domestic piffle and was instead really manuvering to take over huge chunks of domestic policy.
Martha was the first lady of gold leaf designer lifestyle nesting, even though her uber-nest was so scary that her husband flew the coop. Though she was the ulitmate professional homemaker and nurturer, she left her daughter off the list of the things she would miss in jail.
Obviously, many men are uncomfortable with successful women, so when these women are brushed back, alpha men can take comfort in knowing that the alphettes are not threateningly all powerful and that they had better soften those sharp edges.
And what about Condi, who's now being touted for the Republican ticket in 2008? Perhaps she does not need to play the victim to make people feel better about her power because she was never seen as pushing people around and bending them to her will.
She always seems subserviant to President Bush and VP Dick Cheney, a willing handmaiden for their bellicose bidding.

You are so smug throwing in that Doctor thing.
Heh heh heh.
MoDo is obviously the second smartest woman in the world after Hillary! (sarcasm button off)
Though I think MoDo is a whining, shrewish, obnoxious harpy I do think even she would have better taste in men than that.
Would anyone have heard of Hillary Clinton had she not attached herself to a male? She used his back to ride up the ladder and get some fame. Would she have made it on her own? Probably not. Miss Dowd and other Democrats seem to forget the 1200 FBI files brought to the whitehouse and the
illegal Johnny Chung donations. The paper bags of money brought by Charlie Trie and the lost billing records from the Rose Law Form. Maybe Miss Dowd should check with some of the folks that stood guard over HRC in Arkansas and DC?
She only writes this stuff because she knows FR will pick it up. She's teasing us. It's time to pinch her on the inner thigh and bring her over the fence:)
My eyes, the closeup!
Honestly, I started reading the article without realizing it was MoDo, and it was like listening to a schizo on speed....you think things are making sense only because of the sincerity of the person talking, and then you sort of wake up and realize that there weren't even two thoughts strung together that went anyplace coherent.
It was weird.
I HONESTLY think the woman's got a screw loose. And I'm really not trying to say bad things about her. It was just my gut reaction.
Maureen must read these threads. Some guy even has a site up now called 'idisagreewithmaureendowd.com'
It's the not-to-well veiled racism that really gets to me. Only a ranting leftie of Dowd's ilk would try to portray a gifted stateswoman as the Bush administration's personal negro. But you know, they are not going to get away with it this time, just as they have failed at most of what they have tried since 2000. The conservative news media will not allow it to happen, and because of them the American people are on to their dishonorable political methods and continuing treason against the Constitution and the United States.
That's the second chuckle you've gotten outta me today. Whenever I see your Viking I quit scanning and actually read.
Bump!
When in the h*ll has Hitlery ever been anything but a fraudulent b*tch? Excuse my language, but I loathe that woman!
Another self-indulgent and totally transparent column by MoDo. All I ask for is one (Okay...two) well-placed lightening strike(s). Is that too much to hope for? ;)
"She does seem to be on a roll (try tear) lately, doesn't she. Maybe the ceasing of her menses has made her come to the realization that she's not a young babe anymore and has driven her over the edge".
Someone should take her to a vet and get her a shot, or something.
How many guys HAS she converted?
I don't know when she gets a chance to write. She always has either her foot in her mouth, her head up her ass, or her head swimming with stimulants.
MSS is defined by the Centers for Disease Control as when the age, IQ, bust, waist, and butt measurements magically and synergistically balance out on the same number.
No one has ever recovered from this affliction. In fact, in Sweden, they're euthanized by members of the male population they have tormented their entire lives.
A special fund set up on Free Republic twenty-three seconds ago to send Mizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Dowd to Sweden has already received $6,879,354 in donations.
This is not Maureen Dowd
