I wasn't familiar with this Damian Thompson person, but I shall be keeping an eye out for him from now on.

Nasty piece of work, Maureen Dowd. In the Barack Obama-worshipping New York Times over the weekend, she insinuated that Congressman Joe Wilson’s “you lie” outburst during the presidential address was inspired by racism:
The normally nonchalant Barack Obama looked nonplussed, as Nancy Pelosi glowered behind.
Surrounded by middle-aged white guys — a sepia snapshot of the days when such pols ran Washington like their own men’s club — Joe Wilson yelled “You lie!” at a president who didn’t.
But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy!
“Boy”, of course, is how some whites used to address black subordinates, even if they weren’t young. Maureen tries to cover her ass by including the caveat “fair or not”. I wonder if the Times lawyers insisted on that, or whether she thought it actually made her suggestion less outrageous.
Either way, I can’t see a British newspaper lawyer allowing her to get away with that snide “boy”, or with this:
But Wilson’s shocking disrespect for the office of the president — no Democrat ever shouted “liar” at W. when he was hawking a fake case for war in Iraq — convinced me: Some people just can’t believe a black man is president and will never accept it.
This isn’t a case of limey gutlessness.

Maureen Dowd is certifiable plus she needs a man or something.

I guess this twit and the New York Times just make $hit up !
The only reason I checked this thread out is in hopes of copping a photo of CZJ.
Actually, if you read the entire article, he uses that line right at the end.
Well, I am glad the laws in this country won’t land her in hail for speaking, that is why we have a first amendment, it is supposed to apply to everyone. That said, she is a dipsh**(I hope some of you are going by the rules on this thread).
Correction to comment #9, Hail = Jail.:) Sorry.
Great job, Mr. Thompson for calling Maureen Dowd out on her stupidity. Joe Wilson should sue her dumb butt for libel.
Even a desperate Chinese man wouldn’t have her.
Liberal white guilt at its finest!
OK...but, is it really necessary to omit Dowd from ones hopes and wishes?
Mark Levin was saying this earlier tonight.
Rather saying to her “you’re crazy”...I hope she can hear the unspoken “bi**ch”. So the full sentence would be “I read your article Maureen, and frankly, you’re crazy, bi**h”.
Can you hear that Mo?
Damian Thompson...not to be confused with LaDainian Tomlinson.
“Maureen Dowd” “disgusting” - it ends right there!
