As I sat above the Hoover Dam under the broiling sun, I was getting jittery.
There was Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, speaking at the dedication of a bridge linking Arizona and Nevada 890 feet above the Colorado River.
As the politicians droned on and my Irish skin turned toasty brown, I worried that Governor Brewer might make a citizen’s arrest and I would have to run for my life across the desert. She has, after all, declared open season on anyone with a suspicious skin tone in her state.
We are in the era of Republican Mean Girls, grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant.
These women — Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine — have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust with the status quo that originally buoyed Barack Obama. Whether they’re mistreating the help or belittling the president’s manhood, making snide comments about a rival’s hair or ripping an opponent for spending money on a men’s fashion show, the Mean Girls have replaced Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold. They are the ideal nihilistic cheerleaders for an angry electorate.

I think she USED TO BE witty. She’s always been nasty which makes her accusations of mean girls pretty funny—but still not witty. I think panic has overcome what talent she used to have.
She actually left NY and sat out in the sun?
It's hell when you age and have to watch the younger, more popular women arrive and get all the attention.
It's not fun looking into the mirror and asking "Who is the fairest of them all?" and receiving an honest answer.
Maybe Mo can dress like a kindly old woman and take poisoned apples to those "pretties" she hates.
It's pathetic to watch a grown woman behave like this.
make sure to take a look at the Dana Perino response.......sweet!
Are Republican women hurting their little feelings? Boo freakin hoo.
This is one of those articles when you ask yourself “Does she really believe the crap she has committed to print?” Honestly, this article is so over the top that it reads as a parody of Dowd.
Where is Perino’s response?
MoDo seems to have adopted the “just lay back and enjoy it” response to the current rape and dismantling of the economy and abandonment of basic American ideals. She worries Gov. Jan Brewer is going to deport her for getting a suntan on her pasty white Irish countenance? What a total crock of crap. She’s going down with this ship of fools and it can’t come soon enough for me.

Hmmm, when their Conservative girls, they’re “mean girls”, when their demon-rats, they’re “strong feminists”.
I hate these people more and more each day. I cannot wait until 11/2.
ahh women have arrived. they have adopted all the unpleasant traits they criticized men for. how depressing.
Thanks, just read! Good comeback however, I wonder who she “doesnt” like and why she had to put that in there. Im cautious on Perino. Not sure she gets it yet. imho
Hey, she kind of looks like Michael Douglas in that pic.
She actually gets paid to write about all those goblins in her tiny little brain... Sheeesh!
Nice-looking beast of burden. Who’s the camel?
This is hilarious considering Dowd’s personality.
This is a true study in projection.
Maureen Dowd is nearly 60 years old. You’d think she would have gotten over high school by now.
Just following the rules.
