Life of Her Party (Maureen Dowd slimes Sarah Palin)

[Free ThinkerNY]

For many years, reality was out of vogue with Republicans. They ignored the reality of Iraq and Katrina, of Pakistan and Osama bin Laden.

When confronted with their colossal carelessness around the globe and here at home, their mantra was, as Rummy put it, “Stuff happens.”

Now reality, in all its messy, crazy, funky glory, has flooded the party, in the comely, crackling form of Sarah Palin.

Unable to stop the onslaught of wild soap opera storylines erupting from the Palin family and the Alaska wilderness, McCain campaign adviser Steve Schmidt offered caterwauling reporters a new mantra: “Life happens.”

Indeed, it does. Only four days into her reign as John McCain’s “soul mate,” or “Trophy Vice,” as some bloggers are calling her, on the ticket known as “Maverick Squared,” Palin, the governor of Alaska, has already accrued two gates (Troopergate and Broken-watergate), a lawyer (for Troopergate), a future son-in-law named Levi (a high school ice hockey player, described by New York magazine as “sex on skates”), and a National Enquirer headline about the “Teen Prego Crisis” with 17-year-old daughter Bristol.

It seems like a long time since Vice President Dan Quayle denounced Murphy Brown for having a baby out of wedlock, bemoaning a “poverty of values.” It also seems like a long time — and another McCain ago — that Republicans supporting W. smeared the old John McCain by spreading rumors that he had fathered an illegitimate black child.

Bitter and menopausal is an ugly combination.

[rod1]

The only question is... will a haddock or a cod get the first look at MoDo words?

[Radl]

Why can’t you look more like Sarah Palin?

[Robert DeLong]

Apparently it did happen in South Carolina.

During the 2000 Republican presidential primary, Senator John McCain was the target of a whisper campaign implying that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock. (McCain's adopted daughter is a naturally dark-skinned child from Bangladesh). Voters in South Carolina were reportedly asked, "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain if you knew that he fathered an illegitimate black child?".

[gridlock]

You ask, I deliver. (Doesn't it look like CZJ is holding hands with her grandpa?)

What?!? A deliriously hot younger woman holding hands with some wrinkly old white haired dude... What's not to love?

[wideminded]

I actually like reading many MoDo columns. She can be a great writer. But her whole tone has changed since Palin appeared. It’s obvious that she has personal feelings about Palin that really bother her.

[LtKerst]

The “Dowdager” is still a “two-fisted” drunk.
a bitter looser, dumped for a younger hottie...
and a rabid Leftist Biggot.
She is a Hasbeen, and She better get ready to swim through a beer hazed 4 more years!!!!
put up a Photo of Palin=Hot and Dowd=not

where the mandatory photos?? of Douglas’s Hot Wife??

[gridlock]

Voters in South Carolina were reportedly asked, "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain if you knew that he fathered an illegitimate black child?".

Emphasis on the word reportedly...

That story is told so often by Democrats, that everybody now believes it is true.

[roses of sharon]

Some wacko group supposedly passed out some flyers (altho no one ever saw them). It was never a topic of conversation at all....until later when the MSM began to slander Bush with them.

And the entire US news and entertainment media did not ask McCain for some DNA.

Dowd is lying.

[VRWCmember]

Or did she just make that one up?
No. It happened in South Carolina in 2000.

The McCain campaign CLAIMED that the W campaign started that whisper smear, but never came up with anything to substantiate that anyone having anything to do with the Bush campaign had anything to do with the rumors.

[Mac from Cleveland]

Maureen suffers from Dowd Syndrome.

Here is something, we can all do this week to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation.

We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies which buy and own NY Slimes stock. We will improve our precious investment capital being wasted on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the vile NY Slimes acts like their trashing of Sarah Palin.

Please send this simple "how to" to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more.

Want to smash the NY Slimes?

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

I suggest a new Dowd Rule is in order, any future Dowd columns posted should be inundated with pics of CZJ and of Sarah Palin.

If you have hot pics of CZJ and Sarah Palin together, feel free to post them at any time...

[VRWCmember]

Not together, but here we go:

[shrinkermd]

The tragedy here is Maureen is a very talented, creative person who is wasting her talents on trashing someone she knows little or nothing about. Piling on is not rendering an opinion.

[The Great RJ]

Is MoDo having uterus envy of Palin?

[dead]

No. It happened in South Carolina in 2000.

No, it didn't.

Somebody in McCain's camp claimed it happened, but nobody was ever able to produce a shred of evidence that this occured, let alone that "Republicans" were behind it.

McCain spent much of that election cycle bemoaning vicious smear campaigns that nobody ever heard of until he bemoaned them.

[ozzymandus]

It appears the so-called “black child” smear of McCain was an invention of the RATS to attack Bush and support their then-darling, McCain.

[I still care]

There was a rumor about it. The MSM hopped on it, because they didn’t want to publicize the real reason McCain, lost, which was he dissed evangelicals.

He made some smarmy comment about the religious right destroying the party, and the next day I remember everyone came into church angry, saying they had changed their minds and weren’t going to vote for McCain. Before that he was doing quite well with our promilitary base.

He dropped dead after that. The MSM likes to pretend that wasn’t why.
