Dowd's obituary for the Obama campaign. It's all Hillary's fault Read the column, much too much to fit in the 300 word excerpt limit.

She is cute, but she does not look like Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Conforms admirably to the spirit of the law, and never mind its letter.

Mo outdid herself with this one :)

I do not find the piece particularly funny.
To be funny, or even effective, satire must have an element of truth within it. If you examine the assumptions that underlie this satire you'll see that all the humor actually runs in the opposite direction than should be intended for this satire to be effective..
This is not funny because the charges against Obama are true and not manifestly false as would be required for the satire to work:
Oh, John, you know I love you and Im happy to help, Hillary says. The themes you took from me are working great painting Obama as an elitist and out-of-touch celebrity, when were rich celebrities, too. Turning his big rallies and pretty words into character flaws, charging him with playing the race card that one always cracks me up. And accusing the media, especially NBC, of playing favorites. Its easy to get the stupid press to navel-gaze; theyre so insecure.

I take this column as Mo’s way of trying to belittle McCain (and Hillary) in order to boost her man Obama.
To: nathanbedford
BUMP what you said. Agreed.
IMO this sounds like some high-schooler’s first attempt at political humor.
Lame.
To: nathanbedford
Agreed. It’s not funny. It’s the rantings of a paranoid lunatic, trying to pass her paranoia off as humor.

Rules is rules.... The rule is Katherine Zeta Jones when MoDo is posted. :-)
See, Michael Douglas dumped MoDo for KZJ, so it's an exercise in rubbing salt in her wounds, I suppose.

There is missing ingredient in this article, Humor.
More of a cattiness than humor.

I view it that way as well.

Please note the rules regarding Dowd threads. There's a reason why posting pics of the ravishing CZJ is encouraged.
