Wallflower is an apt description, athough I prefer the term "barren spinster." As you can probably tell, she crossed the line of tolerance from me quite some time ago and I, like Ann Coulter, have no mercy left.

Deep in her heart Maureen resents the fact that Laura Bush, the quiet librarian, captured the heart of the fraternity president while she, vivacious and intellectual Maureen, looks across the city room at R.W. Apple and Adam Clymer.

This wasn't the way things were supposed to turn out for her. Maureen really thought she was going to marry Michael Douglas and queen it over everyone at her high school reunion. Instead, she must attend alone and endure the pitying looks of those less brilliant classmates who have happy lives. All the columns and Pulitzer prizes will avail her nothing as she gradually becomes the Helen Thomas of her generation.

I've long said that liberal 'wits' and 'wags' such as Dowd, Moore and Franken can never be truly funny because they have no goodness or charity in their hearts - they are indeed 'barren' of almost all commodities that make up the moral and emotional balance one needs to truly be capable of laughter.

One five-minute briefing by Rummy or Cheney, or a parting quip by W himself far outshines the many hours of twisted suffering the leftists put into crafting their 'humor'.

If I had pictures of both side by side to post outside my house, I'll scare everyone this halloween! Maybe someone could Morph them together for an even more horrifying image!

Beautifully said! You make me almost (but not quite) feel sorry for Maureen.

LOL too horrible a fate even for her.

Maureen continues to be driven by her lack of " Gravidas" !!
