...and like Condoleezza Rice, who, in 2008, will likely become both the first African American and the first woman elected president of the United States. (For the record — and you heard it here first — she'll skewer Hillary, platitude by platitude, in a series of Nielson-bonanza debates and take the election in a landslide, thus officially dragging America out of the Clinton Era, that 16-year stretch of moral manure we collectively stepped in back in 1992.)

OK, this guy just became my favorite writer.

Coulter versus Dowd, by the way, would be an even worse massacre of a debate than Condi versus Hillary because Coulter would have no mercy.)

i would pay $$$ to see this!

[Bahbah]

I think you will enjoy this.

The minimum requirement for membership in the intelligentsia used to be, well, intelligence. This is no longer the case. Rather, what is now required is the mere sense of your own superiority, the smirky confidence that flows from an undergraduate grasp of history, philosophy, and literature, and which can only be sustained by a maniacal deafness to counterarguments. Listening to your political opponents is deadly under such circumstances; they must therefore be dismissed, a priori, as stupid.

That just about sums up the entire liiberal press...

[livesbygrace]

...make that LIEberal! hehe

[IncPen]

can hardly write 600 words without a gratuitous swipe at George Bush's supposed lack of intelligence.

I think it's indicative of an overwhelming fear that she, Dowd, is actually the stupid one-- and that she and her minions on the left can taste their bitterness at having someone for whom they have so little regard so thoroughly and continuously cleaning their clocks.

As unpleasant as this whole situation is for all of us, I haven't had this much fun since impeachment, because without lifting a finger we are witness to what these moronic commie lefties are really all about.

May you live, as the saying goes, in interesting times.

But never in recorded history has a less cerebrally, morally, or spiritually elite Elite looked down their noses at the majority of their countrymen.

I think that it has happened before: Hitler's Brownshirts considered themselves to be an elite, even intellectual. But in reality they were just thugs. Soviet Russia's elites were similarly handicapped. Maureen is just a commissar for the socialist street gangs.

I think you heard it HERE first. Lots of FReepers promoted Condi for VP.

[dighton]

This one's a keeper:

Elitism, to be sure, is as old as human society. But never in recorded history has a less cerebrally, morally, or spiritually elite Elite looked down their noses at the majority of their countrymen. The minimum requirement for membership in the intelligentsia used to be, well, intelligence. This is no longer the case. Rather, what is now required is the mere sense of your own superiority . . .

When Maureen's idol V.I. Lenin died his brain was dissected and sliced into millimeter-thick cross sections. The communist elite wanted to see if he had an unusually large brain, as would befit such an intellectual giant. It turned out to be of average size, but displayed evidence of advanced syphilis infection. Perhaps Maureen should visit her doctor.

Now that's funny!

Ping - the best condemnation of the modern liberal media that I have seen in some time.

I thought an improvement on this nice article would be to replace:
"In this respect, she is simply...Michael Moore with table manners." With:

"In this respect, she is simply...Michael Moore with boobs."

But then I remembered what Moore looked like. My bad, the author's analogy is better than mine.

Man, what I wouldn't give!

Even Immus said: "When is Dowd going to give up on the GW bashing ("GW is stupid").....he has an IQ of 140....."

[dirtboy]

Evening shift ping - this one is well worth a careful read, no matter what one thinks of GWBush...

 Bush's detractors who cannot grasp the
concept that polysyllabic flourishes do not always signify
extraordinary critical aptitude or even common sense.

Maybe not.  But multisyllabics usually got that way
because they depict narrow, selective meanings
that add precision to speech.  Monosyllabics usually
are short and broad, susceptible to misinterpretation
because there are so many possible meanings,
sort of like wet sponges used to broadly smear,
as opposed to camel's hair brushes to finely paint.

[Darlin']

"In this respect, she is simply Al Franken with a bigger vocabulary or Michael Moore with table manners"

FOFLOL. About the only thing one can say in Dowd's favor is that she isn't muslim.... at least not yet.

[sinclair]

This is great writiing. Thanks for the post.
