Surrender Already, Dorothy (MoDo's Effort at Depth Psychology)

...Democrats are coming around to the point Jay Rockefeller made 10 days ago after introducing Obama in West Virginia: Democrats always make a mistake by nominating people who know everything on earth there is to know about public policy. I introduced both Al Gore and John Kerry at their rallies. They knew all the policies, but people didnt connect with them. You dont get elected president if people dont like you.
Despite Bill Clintons saying it was a bunch of bull that his wife should drop out, Democrats are trying to sneak up on Hillary, throw a burlap sack over her head, carry her off the field and stick her in a Saddam spider hole until after the Denver convention.
One Obama adviser moaned that the race was beginning to feel like a hostage crisis and would probably go on for another month to six weeks. And Obama said that the God, when will this be over? primary season was like a good movie that lasted about a half an hour too long.
Hillary sunnily riposted that she likes long movies. Her favorite as a girl was The Wizard of Oz, so surely she spots the Surrender Dorothy sign in the sky and the bad portent of the ladies of The View burbling to Obama about how sexy he is.

See, anybody can write an editorial using depth thinking. The idea is to nominate Barack even though he doesn't know much, because he is good looking and can give a speech.
What was that about feminism I hear in the background?

And also provide free chicken picnic dinners as Rockefeller does every 6 years.
The people of WV can be bought off so easily.

Well, it is Maureen Dowd. How can anyone argue with her wisdom?( OK, besides a sane person).

Good thing for MoDo that the NYT’s does not also realize when someone has overstayed their welcome.

Quite a few younger folks would probably rather see someone like the Forest Gump character elected than their mothers'/grandmothers' candidate (America's ex-wife and mother-in-law).

He can ensorcell when he has to, and he has viral appeal.
My god, don’t they have spell check at the NYT?
Gee Mo, guess you wouldn’t know about virile would you.

The more the dims try to get Hillary to stop, the more determined she will be to stay in.

The dems have the most screwed-up nominating process in the history of the world. Well, wait; maybe reading chicken entrails was more screwed up, but this is really close.

The people who spent eight years making apologies for the Clintons have now abandoned them. They’re idiots for Obama, just as they were idiots for the Clintons.

I would imagine Hillary was attracted to “The Wizard of Oz” by a strong female role model. And I don’t mean Dorothy or Glinda.
