Don’t, like, totally piss off the women.


by Chris MC

Maureen Dowd writes a mean upper middle-brow psychological critique.

Now John McCain is pea-green with envy… The Arizona senator who built his reputation on being a brave proponent of big solutions is running a schoolyard campaign about tire gauges and Paris Hilton, childishly accusing his opponent of being too serious, too popular and not patriotic enough.

Even his own mother, the magical 96-year-old Roberta McCain, let slip that she thought the Paris Hilton-Britney Spears ad was “kinda stupid.”

And while you can be forgiven for taking Paris Hilton lightly, you’re taking your chances if you irritate her mom. Something like this could happen:

“Thanks for the endorsement, white haired dude…
I’ll see you at the debates, bitches.”

Blacklash, much?

    Ah, so only Dowd, the mistress of spit and spittle, can take a stab at light hearted humor? Got it.

    Here is Dowd’s b**ch slap on McCain: First, she cites, without mentioning a name, one of McCain’s “old pals in the senate,” who cringes “at what they (sic) see as his soulless transformation into what he once scorned.” The quoted portion here is Dowd’s gloss on what was said by the anonymous “they.” Could it be that “they,” the source upon which Dowd hangs her vituperation, is Edward Kennedy? McCain sure had a lot of Democrat pals in the senate.

    They she quotes the pal: “John’s eaten up with envy… His image of himself was always the handsome, celebrity flyboy. Now somebody else is the celebrity.”

    And this is followed by another gloss on the comment by the old pal: … “the colleague continued, while John looks in the mirror and sees his face marred by skin cancer and looks at the TV and sees his dashing self-image replaced by visions of William Frawley, with Letterman jokes about his membership in the ham radio club and adventures with wagon trains.”

    In this kind of reporting, one hardly knows were the “old pal” ends and Dowd begins.

    But the point of the column is to riff exaggeratedly on what may have been – we’ll never know because the source is not named, and no one can check – a fairy innocuous comment.

    The McCain ad, which pokes fun at Obama’s light-headedness, never approaches this level of juvenilia.

    Paris Hilton responds to McCain Ad…..Sounds like she has a better thought out energy plan than either candidate.

    Old Timer,

    Hilton’s “fusion” plan is the McCain plan. She just doesn’t know it yet.

    Maureen Dowd…Now there’s an unbiased reporter.

    Hey Maureen, do you think you or any of the rest of the leftist media will ever show the public any of the following clips of what a buffon Obama really is? If this was Bush, they’d have this stuff on TV 24/7. Here’s the REAL Obama they won’t report on. Enjoy.

    Don Pesci: Ironic that Paris Hilton with her wrinkly white haired guy snark outdid Dowd snark.
