Maureen Dowd: Reigning Cats and Dogs
The New York Times ^ | January 16, 2016 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 01/17/2016 8:33:26 AM PST by EveningStar

After running as a man last time around, Hillary Clinton is now running as a woman.

Matthew Dowd, the former W. strategist who became an independent, says Hillary got it backward: She should have run as a woman in 2008, when she was beating back a feminized antiwar candidate. And she should have run as a man this time, when Americans feel beleaguered and scared and yearn for something "big and masculine and strong," as Dowd put it.

Despite the deafening dearth of excitement among younger women, Hillary has cast herself as Groundbreaking Granny.

This is actually amusing.

I worked at Camp Bendleton, CA as a civilian programmer back in the late '60s, and one day Pres. Nixon was scheduled to show up. I think it was in the middle of the scandals, or it might have been when he ramped up our intervention in Vietnam.

Anyhow, we were in a taped off area behind the PX which looked down on a paved area. His limo drove up, Nixon stepped out and gave the above spread-eagled greeting. NOT ONE FREAKING SOUND of greeting came from over 100 Marines and some staff there. After a few seconds of dead silence, I felt embarrassed, for he WAS the President. I started to clap but just then he turned around and got back into the limo. That was when I got some idea at how pist the Marines were at him.

I’m sure our Marines felt the same way many of us did re LBJ.

When it was time to reup re my Navy reserve time, after LBJ and his Gulf Tonkin/Viet Nam BS, his abandonment of our sailors on the Liberty and Pueblo, I signed out and walked away.

Kirk is probably very happy that Michael did not marry Dowd.
