So why do newspapers pay so much for theirs? If you missed yesterday’s mild brain infarction from Dowd, who was riding in a cab with David Brooks when the subject for this latest cogitation on the parlous state of the Union whupped her upside the head like an anti-cluebat, you might want to consider that.

Why do train wrecks like Maureen Dowd get so much attention? She writes well, in a twisted sort of way, but when has she ever written anything of value to conservatives? She is the antithesis of conservatism. That maybe the answer to my question — plus the fact she writes for the NY Times, a paper that despite its reputation still sticks spurs into conservatives everywhere.
Maybe we look to her to illustrate what we are NOT and why the liberal side gets so much of it wrong? Because if you step into her thinking, besides getting your shoes dirty and smelly you also get a feel for how deluded modern liberals have become.

6. It is usually possible and always desirable to name-drop and name-call in the same sentence. (From, once again, the inimitable VodkaPundit.)
7. The particulars of my consumer-driven, shamefully self-involved life reveal universal truths. (From Sean Roche.)

Josh Chafetz …….
The fingers, they refuse to work…..
Your fingers are going Galt?
What high school paper does Down write for again?
Dowd. Sorry.
It’s Dowd Syndrome.
Related topic I think. I read David Frum’s anti- Limbaugh piece. He basically called Limbaugh a fat blowhard while looking over his shoulder from his on his knees position in front of Obama. What a tool.
“Her arms, and her complete confidence in her skin, are a reminder that Americans can do anything if they put their minds to it.”
Well, that’s just embarrassing. Dowd is a rather average gossip columnist.
Well Mare, in MoDo’s world, having attractive arms is a greater achievement than a lasting peace in the Middle East. Once one understands that, her proper role as a columnist becomes perfectly clear.
