Our president came down from the mountaintop.

He had applied the freshness of his independent thought to the critical matters at hand. He had convened his seminar, reviewed the reviews, analyzed the intelligence every which way, thought anew about everything, and lo and behold, he finally emerged to tell us some stuff we already knew.

“We must do better,” Captain Obvious said Thursday at the White House, “in keeping dangerous people off airplanes while still facilitating air travel.”

It’s called profiling, f*cktard.

Captain Oblivious

[fivecatsandadog]

Totally agree. I don’t care how old they are, those pictures of him speak volumes about his true character: arrogant, slick, oblivious to name a few....

[rintense]

I’m telling you, she hasn’t been the same since reading Sarah’s book and finding lots of common ground with her. Dowd may be in a transition period of true political conviction.

Catherine Zeta-Jones? I don’t get it....

If the media and the people continue to make fun of him and use his stupidity against him, I would not be surprised to see him resign. I don’t think his narcissism can deal with anyone ridiculing him, that would be worse for his ego than disagreeing with him.

[Jimmy Valentine]

And people say he's not gay!!??

My bet is that he is living on the "down low."

[Iron Munro]

Good thing Mo's not married!

[csvset]

Folklore has it that back in the day, Michael Douglas , (that's CZJ's husband), boinked Modo. This was before he met CZJ.

It's a tradition to post CZJ's pic on any MoDo thread.

[April Lexington]

Wow! if only her brains were as big as her boobs, she could really be somebody!

[Ahithophel]

Dowd may be in a transition period of true political conviction.

Agreed. Call it obamapause and I'm hoping it involves recurring cold sweats.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Either that or he lucks into some turnaround like the Clintons did with Oklahoma City

[Oratam]

This book Game Change which comes out tomorrow is going to fun to watch how the media handles it.

That depends. Does it have an index?

[OldEagle]

Thank you many times!

[DTogo]

Perhaps Maureen should be invited to speak at the next FR Convention. Mend fences, a little, have a few black-slappers about past disagreements, and current agreements. She might even strike up a relationship with a single male FReeper out there...

OH MAN that old school

I remember old school Electric company on PBS

[SevenofNine]

I think President Bush could find his birth certiciate unlike this US President LOL!

Maureen Dowd’s column today could have almost been written by Ann Coulter.
