DOWD: BUSH 'BOY EMPEROR'

NY TIMES op-ed queen Maureen Dowd is planning to rip President Bush like she has never ripped before in a dispatch set for Sunday publication, sources close to the columnist tell DRUDGE.

Dowd, courting controversy, declares: "The Boy Emperor picked up the morning paper and, stunned, dropped his Juicy Juice box with the little straw attached. 'Oh, man,' he wailed. 'North Korea's got nukes... 'Get me Condi!' the boy yelled. 'And a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.'"

Dowd refers to Bush as a "boy" no less than ten times in the column she's planning to file.

"'Huh?' the Boy said."

Dowd mocks.

MORE

"Boy Emperor was starting to feel bamboozled."

Dowd stabs.

'"Why are we mad at North Korea for flouting its international agreements when we flout our international agreements?' the Boy wondered."

Dowd pops.

"...the Boy pressed."

Dowd punches.

"The Boy Emperor was more befuddled than ever."

On and on Dowd goes until she hits 711 brutal words, and finally comes up for air.

The liberal ploy of painting Bush as dumb or as a boy just helps Dubya maintain the upper hand. How many chess games do the rats need to lose before they credit their opponent with being clever?

Here, here. It's amazing how someone allegedly so stupid continues to school the jackass cult. But, I think that deep down Dowd, just like Murry Mom lusts for Dubya, knowing that they can never have him because unlike Willie the Masher, Dubyah has too much respect for his wife, his children, himself, and the office of the Presidency. Therefore they have to spew in a psychobabblic literary frenzy too satisfy their pent-up lust.

You have a gift with words, truly a great piece of writing, and I got a good laugh out of it also.

Great article on how to read Ms. Dowd! The author has her appropriately pigeonholed in the 4th graders girl's toilet!

Now, you guys are all steamed because she's attacking Bush, but I just can't get over how **lame** her so-called "Prose" is. She (and Ivins and... well, you can make the same list I can) are so irrationally infuriated over the "Loss" (theirs, not the country's) of the White House that they can't even form a coherent thought, or sentence.

Believe it or not, the Humanities types at the Spew Yuck Times *know* that. They may not know what to do about her or how to "Break The News" to her, much less how to get *rid* of her, but they *know* lousy, incoherent writing when they see it, and they *are* embarrassed by it.

And we can take advantage of that, if anyone's got time... Don't even *bother* attacking her politics - just attack her basic lack of self-control and the destructive effect it has on her (nearly nonexistent to begin with) "Literary Skills".

The Humanities majors down there at the Alzheimer Lady don't have much left to which to cling, having lost all their credibility when they abandoned their objectivity (and they know that too), but they can still point to their (imagined) "Skill at the Writer's Craft". No-Brain Maureen's pathetic scribblings call even *that* into question - and they know it... they *KNOW* it. They *cringe* every time one of her columns lands in their inbox, and they don't know how to deal with it.

so let them know that YOU know how bad she makes them looks...

and that you're going to point out to the rest of the "Literary World" how bad she makes them look...

Threaten what's left of their pathetic shreds of self-esteem... you just might succeed in driving *them* over the edge along with Boreen...

Boy emperor?

Too bad she missed her history lessons - Alexander was in his early 20's when he formed an empire. G.W. Bush is 56.

Please, someone, get this woman laid!!!!

After reading this, I figure, with say about 100 less IQ points, I too can be an NYT columnist (/sarcasm).

On the basis of just those picks, I'd take Dowd, easily.

Even in those pics -- still Dowd. The two women have a similar look.
