Sarah Grabs the Grievance Grab Bag From Hillary (Maureen Dowd alert)
The New York Times ^ | July 28, 2009 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 07/29/2009 5:03:14 PM PDT by Bratch

The woman who was prematurely counted in is out. And the woman who was prematurely counted out is in.

Goodbye, Sarah. Hello, Hillary.

In their vivid twin performances Sunday — Hillary on “Meet the Press” in Washington and Sarah at her farewell picnic in Fairbanks — two of the most celebrated and polarizing women in American political history offered a fascinating contrast.

Hillary, who so often in the past came across as aggrieved, paranoid and press-loathing, was confident and comfortable in her role as top diplomat, discussing the world with mastery and shrugging off suggestions that she has been disappeared by her former rival, the president.

Sarah, who was once a blazingly confident media darling, came across as aggrieved, paranoid and press-loathing in her new role as bizarre babe-at-large, a Nixon with hair extensions ranting about “American apologetics,” which sounds like a cross between apologists and Dianetics.

Sarah once criticized Hillary for being a whiny presidential contender, arguing that women who want “to progress this country” should not complain about being under a “sharper microscope,” but instead should just work harder to prove themselves capable. Now Sarah is a whiny presidential contender, complaining about the sharper microscope that women wanting to progress this country are under and rejecting advice to work harder to prove herself capable.

Maureen Dowd can kiss my ass. That pretty much sums up my opinion of her. Boy, liberal women are not only butt ugly, but have ugly souls, assuming they have any

Maureen Dowd is a paid professional writer who doesn't know the word "apologetics".

The article references "Sarah" a number of times.

It never actually names the person to whom it refers in such a familiar fashion. Sarah Brightman maybe?

Weak writing.

Ho hum, another article from Dowd.

Hiliary is a lame duck, someone with a title and no ability to effect anything.

Yeah, some role model, Dowd.

Yeah, Bratch! That’s the way to begin the thread! If only we could get a picture of CZJ and Governor Palin next to each other. That would be ridiculously awesome.

I will merely note that nobody (to my knowledge) has invited MoDoDo to sell mobile phone service.

The only reason I click on these posts is to see CZJ.

Thank You all.
