I usually don't read Dowd....

[WCGreen]

But todays column was very telling...

Talk about fired up and ready to go.

At a Republican victory party suffused with vengeful glee, the man who body-surfed the anti-establishment wave to become the next Speaker of the House was looking very establishment.

Even though it was predicted, it was still a shock to see voters humiliate a brilliant and spellbinding young president, who’d had such a Kennedy-like beginning, while electing a lot of conservative nuts and promoting this central-casting congressman as the face of the future: a Republican who had vowed in a written pledge to restore America to old-fashioned values, returning to a gauzy “Leave It to Beaver” image that never existed even on the set of “Leave It to Beaver.”


Read it all the way through...

1. I saw that and I agree

it was oddly comforting for Dowd.

2. After decades of making fun of Democrats, she realizes it's time to cut the shit

Better late than never.

[WCGreen]

3. After the way she treated Gore...

It's literally been years since I read anything she has written.

But today, something drew me to her column.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. nah, like tweety, she will return to form shortly. nt.

[BeyondGeography]

7. I know, but she has been unusually reliable of late

Like she almost cares about what's happening to the country.

[Uzybone]

14. Oh no....she hasn't changed...only gotten worse

Her last few pieces about Obama have been vicious, petty and vapid. She almost hates him as much as she hates Clinton.

4. Excellent article -- everyone, be sure to read through to the end.

6. Sorry, She's just another NYtimes stenographer for Boner.

Yeah, there are things to like, but the correct message is that America has a lot of problems most of which were created by the Bush Presidency*. So why put even dumber Republicans in charge?

Woe to America. Boner looks like Satan and he plans to act like Satan by bringing havoc to America.

8. Every now and then Dowd is logical.

9. That's a good column!

The ending made me laugh.

Very clever...

In an odd way, her writing gives me hope.

Recommended.

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. I hope she keeps it up.

You mean to tell me that the Speaker of the house had the power to start investigations? Why didn't Pelosi use that power?

11. Wow... Dowd's column is awesome..... the quotes from Gingrich are IDENTICAL to Boehner-speak

[gulliver]

12. Great column. What an ending! n/t

13. Normally I don't read her, but since you recommended it I will. :^)
