Say It Ain't So, Mo: A Woman Obsessed

Not much Sarah Palin news this Friday, as the former governor and her family enjoy a well-deserved vacation. Let's kill some time with a Maureen Dowd Pwnapalooza... 

Randy McRoberts noticed a recent Mean Maureen trend:
"Half of her last eight columns are about Palin."
If this keeps up, Dowd may have to have a face-off with Kathleen Parker for the "Obsessively Palin-Deranged" crown.

Regarding Dowd's recent anti-Palin diatribe in a guest shot with PMSNBC's Willie Geist, BrianinMO observed;
"Maureen Dowd is the classic Eastern Liberal, who has no idea what average Americans are like, or how they think. She spends her life belittling and making fun of the very values and people that have built, protected, and preserved this nation."
Politik Ditto was a bit harsher with the criticism of the NY Times columnist:
"The venomous, foul-mouth, childless, husbandless, plagiarist that is Maureen Dowd just can't let go of her hatred towards a conservative, successful woman with a family who represents everything she's personally against"
Christine Flowers, in a Philadelphia Daily News op-ed, remarked on Mo's viciousness, as Dowd is increasingly compelled to attack now former Gov. Palin:
"When Maureen Dowd starts typing these days (her own thoughts, we hope), you can almost hear the creaking of her arthritic joints. This chick is so jealous of Palin's youth and star power that her columns - once enjoyable in a a poisonous sort of way - have become tiresome, the journalistic equivalent of Tina Fey's one-note shtick."
Posting at The Houston Conservative, Will Malven comments:
"It never ceases to amaze me what passes for intellectual commentary from those on the Left. Maureen Dowd is the definitive harridan of hatred. Hers is the voice of a shrill harpy whose talent, like her "beauty," is long since spent...if it ever existed; pathetic, pitiable and sad to say, laughable."
But Allan Willingham wins the Alliteration Award hands down with this:
"Another tumultuous tirade by the Serpent Queen and her poison pen for the frenzied fanatical masses. Maureen Dowd once again admits angst and acrimony as she arches back to the ink wretched stain she becomes when against her chosen Nemesis, Sarah Palin."
Yeah, a mud wrestling death match between Mo Dowd and Katie Parker might be fun to watch, but only after one beer too many. And if only both of them lose.

  1. Josh,

    I've now got the Ethicsgate vid up on Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/262253417/ethics-gate.wmv.html

    It can be downloaded 10 times (I've got the crappy free account).

  2. At the rate Noonan, Parker and Dowd are going, they will all have major strokes, probably in the next year. I think the law of diminishing returns is setting in on all the anti-Palin diatribes. All the anti-Palin stuff is just going to become so much background noise after awhile, and is probably already happening.

    I read somewhere that Noonan's traffic is down something like 50 percent. Wonder how the traffic on Parker's and Dowd's stuff is doing.
