Mo Dowd: "Free Melania - From Our Expectations"

WASHINGTON — Now, stacked on the Trump tower of petrifying things we have to worry about — war with Iran, war with China, war with Mexico, war with Islam, war with koala bears — there is yet another looming disaster.

The East Wing is perilously behind in planning for the Easter Egg Roll. Is the White House dropping the ball — or rather, the ovoid?

As our omnipresent new president hijacked our reality, the first lady vanished, sparking headlines for nary a glimpse in D.C. since the inaugural.

Just as there is a gush of leaks from the resistance in the federal government about President Trump’s erratic and impulsive behavior, there are whispers about Melania’s elusive and sphinx-like behavior.

Understand. But I really would like a pictorial reply to MoDo who isn’t the wife of an abject rabid liberal like CZJ’s husband, Michael Douglas the elder.

[Gaffer]

This is a delightful picture in my book.

But she’s so beautiful! And so fresh! Plus, I just enjoy looking at photos of our new first lady! Don’t be mean!

I have nothing against CZJ but let’s continue with Melania photos, boys, when dowdy acts up.

Classes the joint up, too. 😀

[Gaffer]

I know I certainly never bothered to click on it!

[kiryandil]

Aces, baby! 😀

[Gaffer]

I really can’t see how what I said could be implied to mean something mean about Melania. I was talking about CZJ and her liberal husband. Are you saying CZJ is so beautiful and fresh?

[BenLurkin]

Is that Faye Dunaway?

[miss marmelstein]

No, I saying you’re mean ‘cause you want to put up photos of CZJ rather than Melania - I was joking. Sorry!

[miss marmelstein]

Thank you! I love that set of photos.

[Old Yeller]

Melania is another attractive women for Mo to be jealous of.

[jmacusa]

SMOKIN”!

[Impy]

A First Lady who values privacy and is more concerned with her child than mugging for the cameras is refreshing.

[AFreeBird]

That’s one PROUD MARINE!

[AFreeBird]

Hey, it was the first pic I came across. The OP didn’t follow the rules and posted pics of MoDo!

These violations of the rules must be smacked down quickly.

I would have to regard this thread as a rousing success. Thinking of starting a Mo Dowd ping list, similar to my old Helen Thomas ping list. Would anyone object to that? If you’d like to join a MoDo ping list, please send me some Freepmail. Thanks!
