Captain Obvious Learns the Limits of Cool (Dowd Spanks Obama, Again.)
NYTimes ^ | Published: January 9, 2010 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 01/10/2010 5:32:26 AM PST by TexasCajun

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.

now, why would we do that to one of our poor male FReepers? That’s beyond cruel and unusual punishment.

A Sea Change for MoDo, well, stranger things have happened. Turning conservative might expose her to people who could improve her character. Who can say? She might even start getting dates...

except, Mo thinks Obams really knows what he’s doing, and just is failing to reassure us properly. Ann, and the rest of us, know dang well that Obams has NO CLUE what to do about terror.

Did world history begin in the 60’s when most of these so-called journalists were coming of age?

Most of them think so. They also think they invented sex.

I would not be surprised to see him resign. I don’t think his narcissism can deal with anyone ridiculing him

When narcissists lose it they don't retire from the field--they fly into infantile rage. This chickensh_t a-hole would punish the entire country by means of betrayal before he would resign.

Yeah, I’ve thought of that too. I’m not at all sure that the betrayal isn’t already going on. I can think of no other reason for Holder to get the bomber away from interrogators and to a lawyer so fast.

Don't be fooled by Dowd. She use to attack Clinton when he was President. She is a contrarian and will always attack who ever is in the White House. She never writes a positive piece on policy. Her only talent is cut and slash a politician. I use to love her columns on Clinton and was initially confused when she went after Bush. But, then I realized that her only talent is to be a critic.

Looks like Mo has turned over her column to brother Kevin again.
