What, did the Slimes freeze her salary and cut her expense account?
“Bring on the shackles. Let the show trials begin.”
I thought this was going to be an article about Pinch. Dowd is the kind who would get a kick out of putting Pinch in shackles.
But seriously, I would favor sharpening up the guilotines and giving some of the socialists in Washington what they deserve.
This is very telling if you parse the words. Barry is, himself, the golden calf. The same interior decorator used by a Wall Street CEO to redecorate his opulent office is the same one Barry is using to redecorate the White House. Who's pork is she slaying? The next "Air Force One" will more than likely be a French-made (Airbus) luxury corporate jet. The irony is rich!
I’ve rarely read less-intelligent prose than that expressed here (well, except in Dowd’s other 213 predictibly pompous columns over the last decade.)
By all means. Let us begin with Chris Dodd and Barney Frank.

“Dowd is at her bitchy worst today”
Pinch probably just told her that she has to give the Mexican who bailed the NYT out a BJ.
You're joking, right?
Her target is pretty clear to me. Just as liberals always have, she hates The Man. Any wealthy, white, male executive is to be hated.
Just look at this snippet:
...couldn’t we fire any obtuse bankers and auto executives who cling to perks and bonuses even as the economy is following John Thain down his antique commode?
Has Ms. Dowd offered up her income as a caring token of empathy for the downtrodden workers? Of course not. But, by golly, bankers and auto execs who dare to accept their pay should be fired and then publicly flogged for good measure! ...even though they're even less to blame for this socialist power play than she is.
Let there be no doubt: This economic crisis was engineered specifically for a government takeover of a staggering chunk of the US economy. When it is complete, a strong, centralized federal government will effectively control the banking and the auto industries in this country.
Let that fact sink in for a bit and then decide who Ms. Dowd should aim her bitter pen toward.
Very good from MoDo today. I disagree with nothing here.
