NY TIMES edit queen Maureen Dowd unloads on Barack Obama in her Wednesday filing.
On the trail in Iowa, Dowd writes: "Obama's so slender his wedding band looked as if it was slipping off... there was a wariness in his dark eyes."
When a reporter asked him Obama whether he'd had a heater in his podium during his announcement speech in subzero Springfield, Obama hesitated.
Dowd slings: "He shot a look that said, 'Are you from PEOPLE magazine?' before conceding that, unlike Abe Lincoln, he'd had a heater."
Dowd describes Obama as a "tad testy" as he was "traipsing around desolate stretches of snowy -- and extremely white -- Iowa."
Obama had "moments of looking conflicted."
Dowd claims that no fewer than three times last week, Obama got indignant about the beach-babe attention given to a shot of him in the Hawaiian surf.
"You've been reporting on how I look in a swimsuit," Obama lectured a reporter.
Dowd snaps: "He poses for the cover of MEN'S VOGUE and then gets huffy when people don't treat him as Hannah Arendt."
Developing...
I just find it refreshing to see her write something that's not about George Bush. Every column she's had the past two years (just about) has been about W and even if the column wasn't about him, she'd find a way to bring him into it.
I can't stand Dowd but I did think the comment about Vogue was funny. Obama is a wimp. He's a girlieman.
She's a weird duck, to say the least. I think she has problems; I'm not sure what kind of problems, but she doesn't strike me as someone who is emotionally balanced.
And I'll get way out of your way. I'd rather pop fever blisters than be withing twenty feet of her.
"You've been reporting on how I look in a swimsuit," Obama lectured a reporter."
Barack, you are no John Kerry.
Could we change the latter and post CZJ pics for HT too?
To all of you that had the audacity to post pics of CZJ
Thank You
My bad. Apologies.
No doubt she's pimping for "The Beast" Hillary.
Slick Willie has promised Odud he will lay her again if she will be Hillarys hatchet girl.
I'm feeling a bit sorry for Obama. Nobody deserves a Dowd attack.
Maureen wants to have Obama's baby.
Her feet are huge. Those are man feet.
Mo is lying if she says those are 9 1/2. She can stomp grapes when the NYTimes folds.
I wonder if MoDo is one of Hill's toy gals? Hmmmm...
CZJ is not MoDo's foe. She does not notice MoDo; indeed, hardly knows that old Maureen exists. She has an actual life.
You call that writing?
