McCain’s Green-Eyed Monster (DOWD ALERT)
The New York Times Op-Ed ^ | 8/5/08 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 08/06/2008 11:23:31 AM PDT by gridlock

Not since Iago and Othello obsessed on the comely Cassio, not since Richard of Gloucester killed his two nephews, not since Nixon and Johnson glowered at the glittering J.F.K., has there been such an unseemly outpouring of boy envy.

(blah, blah, blah - insert 16 column inches of tripe here...)

McCain could dismiss W. as a lightweight, but he knows Obama’s smart. Obama wrote his own books, while McCain’s were written by Salter. McCain knows he’s the affirmative action scion of admirals who might not have gotten through Annapolis without being a legacy. Obama didn’t even tell Harvard Law School that he was black on his application.

McCain upbraids Obama for being a poppet, while he’s becoming a puppet. His mouth is moving but the words coming out belong to his new hard-boiled strategist, Steve Schmidt, a Rove protégé, nicknamed “The Bullet” for his bald pate.

Schmidt has turned Mr. Straight Talk into Mr. Desperate Straits. It’s not a good trade.

Well, if writing books is proof you’re smart, Dowd must admit: Ann Coulter’s a genius.

Anyone who thinks Obama's smarter than W is probably cooking up the day's supply of meth as we post.

Sure, they thought Barrack Hussein Obama was the name of an Irishman.

Who would they have been expecting with a name like that -- Jethro Bodine?

Facts are Obama is a leftie and McCain had to go on the attack to pop Obama’s media blown bubble. It wasn’t too hard and McCain’s ads weren’t very mean they were even humorous. It made everyone realize Obama is a hoax.

Then again, his race is the reason he was put on the Law Review.

“Obama didn’t even tell Harvard Law School that he was black on his application.”

He just checked the box for minority.

“McCain knows he’s the affirmative action scion of admirals who might not have gotten through Annapolis without being a legacy.”

They said that family pull got GWB into the TANG, and kept him out of combat. Now, they’re criticizing McCain for using family pull to get into combat. Both Bush and McCain are guilty of BWR (breathing while Republican).

YAY! Thank you!! Anytime I am forced to think of the vapid, vicious, and vacuous Maureen Dowd it is a great relief to displace such thoughts as quickly as possible with images of the luscious CZJ. You are a lifesaver!

I wish someone would ‘ravish’ Maureen Dowd - she is so grumpily unused.
