Please remind me...why do we always post the Zeta pics when there's an article about MoDo?
By the by, her new book sounds positively dreadful. I understand the working title during its production was "Don't Try To Sh*t Me, Mr. McGillicuddy!"
What's the next book title for MoDo? How about this: "Is Nair Necessary?"
I believe it's becaue she used to date Michael Douglas
MoDo was jilted by Michael Douglas in exchange for CZJ.
He traded up.
Because we can't stand to look at MoDo. Who would you rather see a picture of and if you say Mo then please resign from the republican party immediately.
MAD TV once had a hilarious parody of the show "Felicity". Nicole Sullivan played "Intensity", a girl so obsessed with "Ben" that she stalked him. At the end of the sketch she's walking around town in a straight jacket and has a sign around her neck " Have you Seen Ben?"
I picture Dowd that way some day, sign reads "Bush Sucks. Have You Seen Michael?"
From Oxblog:
IMMUTABLE LAWS OF DOWD1. Ashcroft never deserves credit.
2. Offering constructive solutions to problems, instead of whining endlessly about them, is a sign of weakness.
3. The People Magazine principle: all political phenomena can be explained with reference solely to caricatures of the personalities involved ("Dubya" is stupid; "Poppy" is an aristocrat; Cheney is macho-man; etc.). Any reference to the common good or even to old-fashioned politicking is, like, so passe.
4. It is much better to be cute than coherent.
5. Maureen knows best. Her long years as a columnist (doing basically what your great-aunt Tillie does in the nursing home bull sessions, but getting paid for it) have given her deep insight into foreign relations, politics, welfare, the Constitution, and all other topics. To disagree with Maureen in any way is not only a sign of being wrong, it's a hallmark of pure evil...or at least membership in the NRA, which is pretty much the same thing.
6. It is usually possible and always desirable to name-drop and name-call in the same sentence.
7. The particulars of my consumer-driven, shamefully self-involved life reveal universal truths.
Explanation of the Dowd/Douglas connection: by Miss Marple- 2/11/03
Ms. Dowd was escorted around New York and DC for many months by one Michael Douglas of Hollywood fame and fortune. She got to go to all the best parties, was photographed for the tabloids, and was picking out a gown to wear at the Oscars. Of course, Michael had become interested in her during Clinton's impeachment, when she had written some very anti-Clinton columns. After a few weeks of the Michael treatment, she began to write anti-Starr, anti-Newt columns, ignoring Clinton.
Then Clinton was acquitted by the Senate. In an amazing coincidence, Michael Douglas dropped Ms. Dowd like a hot potato, and instead picked up a hot tomato, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who subsequently bore him a son and they were married.
Ms. Dowd cannot get over her tragic loss. Her columns are increasingly anti-Bush, in the hope of impressing her lost love, Michael.
In addition, we think she has a secret crush on the President and is trying to get him to pay attention to her. Ha!
