MoDo is irrelevant.

I'm here for the CZJ pics.

What ever happened to that White House jogging track, didn't GWB pave it over early into the first term?

MoDo must have nude photos of editor Sulzberger in bed with a farm animal, that's the only way I can explain her presence on the editorial page.

Or, she has the hots for him, unrequited love is more often than not is expressed as bitter vindictiveness.

That's been a pet theory of mine since 2000. Dubya and Laura are a normal, happy couple. Algore and Tipper, Ketchup Boy and TeRAYza, and especially X42 and the Witch were anything but normal. For a middle-aged spinster, Bush 43 would be the beau ideal, and since she can't have him, she lashes out at the President with ever increasingly juvenile and drunken rants.

Alternatively, this is what passes for commentary among our socialist "friends". Infantile ranting substitutes for thoughtful analysis.

Explains a lot, really.

Regards, Ivan

I think President Bush actually uses it. I remember seeing him run with one of the soldiers who lost a leg. It looked like the same track.

What did I miss? What do Dowd and Zeta Jones have to do with each other?

The picture of Helen Thomas is the spitting image of Peter Sellers dressed up to play a dissolute doctor in the movie, "The Wrong Box".

Maureen Dowd and Michael Douglas used to be an item.

RE: "As The Financial Times noted, Mr. Bush is acting positively French in his love of le loafing, with 339 days at his ranch since he took office - nearly a year out of his five. Most Americans, on the other hand, take fewer vacations than anyone else in the developed world (even the Japanese), averaging only 13 to 16 days off a year."

My personal theory is Mr. Bush is in Crawford as much as possible BECAUSE there are no hotels and five churches and the press corps ends up sitting in a Texas ditch until Mr. Bush decides to spend some time with them and he takes them "brushing" in 105 degree weather on the ranch. LOL

My idea is for the president to take up East Texas hill hiking and drag Helen Thomas along with the fire ants.

Douglas looks old enough to be her father. Come to think of it, he probably is!

From Oxblog:
IMMUTABLE LAWS OF DOWD

1. 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 Maureen's 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!

An unabashed sexist comment: For a good looking woman on the outside she's sure full of s____ on the inside.
