The Lady and the Tiger
The New York Times ^ | December 5, 2009 | MAUREEN DOWD

Posted on 12/06/2009 9:47:06 AM PST by dano1

"They were both elegant and entitled swans, insulated in guarded enclaves, obsessed with protecting and promoting the Brand. Then trouble trespassed into their privileged worlds and both responded the same foolish way."

"They presumptuously put themselves beyond authority and, despite all the public relations support on earth, broke the first rule of scandal: Don’t stonewall. Admit your mistake before others piece together the embarrassing facts. Reflexive clampdowns don’t work in an era when privacy is passé and when some media outlets are out there giving cash incentives for true confessions and fake reality." (snip)

"Even if Desiree thought Congress was grandstanding, it was goofy of her to use the Constitution to get out of a Congressional summons. The Obama White House is morphing into the Bush White House with frightening speed. Its transparency is already fogged up."

I never would have guessed this party-crashing story would have legs, but it doesn't seem to be going away.

To Marueen Dowd

Poor Dowdy, always the woman scorned.

What did you expect MD? Your man, Dear Reader, lied to you from Day 1. He isn' "morphing" into anything, he has never been open, honest and transparent, he has always been a liar and a con man as those of us who think, rather then emote, our politics warned you.

Even the Liberals are questioning the ease with which this couple got into the White House. I mean, what if the couple had been a bunch of right wing, Bible thumping, gun owning (shudder with liberal horror) PATRIOTS!?

The Obama White House is morphing into the Bush White House with frightening speed.

I wouldn’t say that. The Bush White House was competent.

Its transparency is already fogged up.

[Note to the Times copy editor: I think Maureen probably spelled it right the first time.]

Marueen “The Dowdy Hag’’ Dowd, can’t drown her sorrows deep enough in her Bourbon and corn flakes . Still pissed that Michael Douglas dumped her. Someone should post that picture on Nelson Muntz from ‘’The Simpsons’’.

She’s just angry that she wasn’t invited herself.

Sounds like Maureen didn’t get a White House invitation she was expecting.

You have to give Maureen credit for one thing: She’s a nasty, bitter, hateful, drunken, old hag.

Wow, Mo must have listened to Rush yesterday as he read a long piece from the American Thinker about the similarities in brand Obama and brand Tiger.

And to think I just clicked on this for the pics of CZJ.
