Maureen Dowd Rips Obama: 'He Looked as if He Needed a Smoke and He Needed it Bad'

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."

I wonder if carrying all that water for Hillary will improve MoDo's posture. And, yes, where are the pictures?

I don't read MoDo. Would I be correct in assuming that she's solidly behind Hillary?

That observation is a bit much coming from someone who usually looks like she needs a drink...bad.

"She still writes?"
Yeah, if you can call it that. They fired Judith Miller and kept her.

They need to cut Osama Obama a little slack. He probably took up smoking to get himself off cocaine.

Any stick to beat a dog, they say - although it might be better reversed in this case.
