Was Maureen Dowd kidding about having called Tim Russert to ask if VP Cheney washed his hands after his Meet the Press appearance this Sunday? By all indications she was not, making one fear the Times columnist is slipping ever deeper into Dowd Derangement Syndrome.
Dowd writes in her pay-to-read column of today, Vice Must Wash Hands Before Returning to Work, "I called Tim Russert to ask if Dick Cheney had washed his hands after their interview on Sunday. Any sort of scrubbing, I wondered? Antiseptic wipe, Purell, quick shower on the way out?"
Russert reportedly replied in the negative.
Dowd was prompted to ask after reading a recent Times' health section article about a new study on the Macbeth effect," which concluded that people who washed their hands after contemplating an unethical act were less troubled by their thoughts than those who didnt.
Her hatred for the Vice President unfettered, Dowd:
- Claimed Mr. Cheney holds "malignant sway" over President Bush.
- Labelled him "The Lord of the Underworld."
- Compared him to the murderess Lady Macbeth.
- Accused him of "ruining America."
Dowd later claimed that "Bin Laden has become the Willie Horton of the midterms." Perhaps someone should remind Maureen that Horton really was a killer, and that when a previous Bush brought that home to the American people, he crushed his weak-on-crime rival.
NY Times/NewsBusters Dowd-derangement ping to Today show list.
RULES!!!!!!
And Dowd is PWN3D.
thank you!!
hehe
There's over the top and then there's over the edge.
A picture of her is required for every MoDowd thread.
And then there's unhinged. Good grief-- she's a lunatic!!
Maybe the Veep should invite her on a hunting trip.
this coming from a wom an who whines about not having a man - and who looks like she just got out of the locker room after just doing the football team?
JMO, with Dowd on the pay part of the NYT, it's akin to keeping the crazy Aunt up in the attic.
Oh St. Willie the martyr. Conservative need to get over the mental obstacle that liberalism is morally superior and quick. This bimbo Dowd should be writing ad copy and nothing else.
I could be mistaken, but I think a picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones is required on any thread concerning Maureen Dowd.
This is so inane as to cause me to ponder: does she really believe what she says or does she say it merely to sell herself? That would make her a kind of media whore, wouldn't it?
If it's not a rule then the mods need to make it one.
Well the vp said Russert wasn't in season. Mo of course is never in season.
And then there's writing a column after drinking two fifths of Bushmills (MoDo's SOP).
I hope you bathed after reading her column.
Naaah, just conversant with l33t5p34k.
