Dowd Reinforces Rush on Hillary Looks

Talk about the dog that didn't bark . . .

As soon as I realized that Maureen Dowd's column of today, "Rush to Judgment" was indeed about Rush Limbaugh's recent observations about Hillary's looks, I braced myself for the backlash.

Surely Dowd would seek to unload on Rush for having said, in commenting on an unflattering photo of Hillary [displayed here] that turned up on Drudge, "will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?” Added Rush “men aging makes them look more authoritative, accomplished, distinguished. Sadly, it’s not that way for women, and they will tell you.” And Hillary “is not going to want to look like she’s getting older, because it will impact poll numbers, it will impact perceptions [so] there will have to be steps taken to avoid the appearance of aging.” Story Continues Below Ad ↓

And so I continued to read, and wait, and wait -- for the comeback that never came. To the contrary, Dowd seconded Rush's read, added some analysis of her own of Hillary's looks . . . and ended with a hit on Hillary rougher than anything Rush had said.

Good Lord. That is absolutely HIDEOUS!!

At least she has the Joker part in the next Batman movie!

Regardless, our side should drop this “look” very old thing and focus more on “look” mean and nasty. Some women will be sympathetic to her if she is attacked on her “old” looks.

To be honest I would take Hillarys looks right now over the jet black hair on Romney.

" Another sign of the end times ..."

" The moon will turn to blood,
" The seas will boil,"

You know ? I was watching on the History Channel last night about the volcano in Indonesia , Krakatoa.
They said that there was a eruption in 535 AD , that caused problems world wide, including the sun being blocked out in certain parts of the world, and the lack of the sun's intensity all around the world.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa#535_AD_event)
In some parts of the world, it was as like midnight during the day.
I have been watching some of them shows ( Mega Distastes ) and ? you know what ? ( I could be wrong ) a lot of these disasters sound like a lot of things that are going to happen in the end times.
The moon will turn to blood ?
After the volcano eruption, in parts of the world, the moon has in the past looked red.
However ? the Krakatoa eruption in 535 AD was devastating.
The seas will boil ? I saw exactly that on TV last night during a eruption of a volcano, tsunami's, pyroclastic flows, implosions under the surface of the water.
In the Bible, it says that there will be a star that will hit the earth.
Can God be warning us ? even through the secular world ? can God warn us through the MSM ?

The dems don’t want Hillary to get the nomination. Hil’s negatives are so large they would drag down the whole ticket, as every Republican in the US would show up on election day just to vote against her

Hillary could use all this hubub about her looks by saying she doesn’t hide anything...

[fweingart]

Apparently Hillary's face is encased in some type of elasto-plastic early in the morning. As the day wears on the material wears out and her natural appearance emerges.

She has the personna and the face that only a dog might love, if she doesn't kick him

Perhaps Hillary should be compared to The Picture of Dorian Gray. How ghastly if she would dematerialize in front of the eyes of the electorate sometime after she took up residence in the oval orifice.

I knew you were a GRRRREAT FReeper by your name.
(thanks for the ping...I don’t need that 3rd cup of coffee after all)

I read Dowd's column this morning and had the same take--surprised that she did not go after Rush, but actually reinforced what he said.

This is a watershed event, IMO. It shows several things: first, that what Maharushie has been saying for years and years is correct, i.e., the MSM listens to everything he says. Second, that the MSM are beginning to realize how right he is and what an acute observer of the American scene he is. And, exactly how deeply in trouble Her Heinous is.

Amazing.

Now in this photo, Hillary looks like a kindly old grandmother who bakes cookies for her grandkids.

Or perhaps she looks like the witch in Hansel and Gretl.

At any rate, if she sees a house falling from the sky she'd better run fast....otherwise she'll lose her shoes.

The story goes that during the Clinton years, Shrillery referred to Dowd as “that little Irish b*tch.” Word got back to Maureen...

[fweingart]

Hiccup! Sorry.

[billhilly]

Maureen, Maureen, you are endlessly full of surprises.

[Jane Austen]

If this is not Dowd, then the only purpose of it is to divert discussion from Hillary.

On another thread several of us were castigated for departing from the topic even though it was indirectly related and one person was expelled from FR.

[avital2]

why surprises? she was very tough on Bill during the Clinton years.......she is no Clinton fan, period. apparently memories dim.
