The obligatory Zeta for Dowd's alpha. ;)

Not to knock the beauteous Catherine,
but I suspect she beats Maureen in the alpha department, too.
(Douglas is not as schizoid as his choice of women would suggest.)

MSNBC must have some damn fine makeup artists. I didn't even recognize Dowd. She looks pretty crappy in some of her old pictures. She DOES look good in this video. She even looks happy. Are we sure this is really her? Could she have been taken over by aliens?

[Dilbert56]

Who's Chris Matthews? :)

I believe he's using MSNBC, trying point to break into television (the kind with audiences).

[Wolverine]

Excellent format.

[Mia T]

thx

A woman's analysis:
I thought she looked very pretty.
Her hair pulled back in a french knot accounted for at least part of it.
When worn down, her thick red locks tend to overpower her pretty, expressive eyes and fine bone structure.

('for the birds' link correction plus additions)

excellent point.

I believe the impetus will be equal parts fear and access journalism.

Right now, you can cut Chris' contempt for hillary with a knife, it's so thick.
She's pulling another Anita Lowey... and practically ensuring another D loss.

Dems like Matthews and Geffen (and Estrich!).. and possibly even Ickes--not to mention the D prez wannabes--likely hate her guts.

Think about it.
What qualifies this despicable utter incompetent, anyway?

"I'm one of the few in the semi-inner circle who [doesn't] think she can win" [the White House].

GEFFEN UNLOADS ON HILLARY: 'SHE CAN'T WIN'

DRUDGE REPORT
Thu Feb 17 2005 23:13:00 ET

Sen. Hillary Clinton should not count on help from Hollywood mogul David Geffen in her possible run for the White House.

Geffen, who was a generous supporter and pal of Bill Clinton when he was president, trashed Hillary's prospects last night during a Q&A at the 92nd St. Y in New York City.

"She can't win, and she's an incredibly polarizing figure," the billionaire Democrat told his audience. "And ambition is just not a good enough reason."

Lloyd Grove reports in fresh editions of the NY DAILY NEWS the audience broke with "hearty applause" over Geffen's comments.

hillary's head revisited²:
hillary clinton's brain (such as it is)

 by Mia T

he smartest woman in the world would relish "the raucous give and take of American democracy, " as Charles Kuralt once put it.

hillary clinton, by contrast, subsists on cozy clintonoid interviews of the Colmes kind...

In her new book, Political Fictions, Joan Didion indicts the fakery of access journalism practiced by vacant politicos like the clintons, whom she sees as "purveyors of fables of their own making, or worse, fables conceived by political strategists with designs on votes, not news."

(More Didion: "No one who ever passed through an American public high school could have watched William Jefferson Clinton running for office in 1992 and failed to recognize the familiar predatory sexuality of the provincial adolescent.")

NEW MOVIE! for the birds
(THE INCOMPETENCE OF HILLARY CLINTON)

Clinton Administration Veteran:
"Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life."

My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life. Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it. She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given. And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly.... there is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.

Hillary Clinton?
Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man?

Thank you, Gavin McNett, for your tribute to the incomparable Tammy Wynette. (TAMMY WYNETTE, 1942-1998)

Too many pundits, usually leftist and privileged, sneer at country music. To these critics, any music created by poor, Southern whites (at least those poor, Southern whites who didn't attend an Ivy League university) must be held in contempt, along with its correlatives: incest, racism and trailer parks.

Hillary Clinton? Who would even know her name were it not for her attachment to a man? Where would she be now if she as a child had to pick cotton from sun up to sun down?

Tammy Wynette stands alone, a legend; and she will be admired wherever people appreciate the honesty of the human experience. Human beings are vulnerable. We all should be thankful to any artist courageous enough to bare her soul on the public stage so the rest of us who are listening and know whereof she speaks might benefit.

Mathews' and Dowd's TV images are mere illusions



This is more representative image of what I saw while viewing this.

"which one is dowd?"

Not the one with its mouth closed!

The preacher and the porn star????

I never imvestigated this story too deaply, but WOW if it is true.

There are lite porn chat lines advertising on Kdoc that I saw.

[Pagey]

Ohhhhh that was good, really good, thanks for that as I never watch the guy. I can't stand him actually. Thanks for the other links too. What a great post!

There's another thread I visit fairly regularly and that is Backhoes "Hillary Clinton Archives,Research and Opposition Research" which is treasure trove of information and that is here:

The preacher and the porn star????

Yep. Same couple. I'm just surprised there's any advertising, let alone some "lite porn chat lines" advertising on his channel. He used to fill in the extra time with videotapes of him showing off his paintings, him riding around on his horses with his women, him walking around with his women in the "church" lobby, him riding around on his bike with his women, his women rollerblading in his backyard, and occasionally a camera mounted on top of the car driving all around southern California and in the greater LAX metro area. All accompanied by the Pointer Sisters song "I'm So Excited".

Just HSSSSSSSSSSSTOP it!!!!
