Your theory has nailed it..... you should write a book or talk to someone who does.
I mean, when Maureen Dowd first went after Sarah in 2008, in that fantastic Jurassic Park scream-leap she did "the day after" Sarah's great introductory speech, Dowd went after, first of all, Sarah's glasses frames. I mean, WTF? I've never yet understood that one. Is that how middle-aged women diss each other?
Thanks for the "write a book" comment, but that book's already written, and it's someone else's. ;)
