Sound, but No Fury (Dowd can't fathom why Obama didn't wipe the floor with McCain in debate)
NY Times ^ | 9/28/08 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 09/30/2008 12:57:11 PM PDT by redstates4ever

The presidential debate should have been a cinch for Barack Obama. But he willfully refuses to accept that debates are not a lecture hall; they’re a joust.

(snip)

The timing was ideal. McCain was so aggressively erratic as he did his free-form break dance around the economy last week that it seemed the only possible explanation was that he was creating a wild diversion to distract people from Sarah Palin’s stunningly junior varsity appearance with Katie Couric.

Once Garbo began to speak, and people realized that Palin had a few key lacunae in her understanding of the globe and even of her running mate’s record, the myth of the Alaska superwoman continued to unravel.

Between her nonsensical answers and his complicity in the deregulation that led to the financial catastrophe, he felt he needed to take another crazy gamble.

Here's another, different kind of "superwoman" for you, Maureen. What do you think of her?

After McCain wins, I will really, really enjoy listening to Liberals whine about how the dumb chick beat their smart guy, just like their smart guys were beat by our dumb guy in 2000 and 2004.

I will enjoy it even more hearing the same song in 2012. And 2016, when the dumb chick beats their smart guy one more time.

Sooner or later, the Democrats are going to realize their constant repetition of the opinion that all conservatives are stupid is deeply offensive to the majority of the electorate.

Hopefully, much later.

You just know Dowd has seen at least ONE of these threads, oh to be a fly on the wall!

How many people here have e-mailed her links to these threads?

That really was the most idiotic article she’s ever written. It cost me more brain cells than college.
