Dowd Unhinged — Again
Commentary ^ | 10/17/10 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 10/17/2010 11:20:22 AM PDT by Nachum

This is rich: Maureen Dowd is aggrieved because Republican women are insufficiently demure. The grand dame of the Gray Lady, whose columns are distinguished not by their blindingly clever policy insights (her research is confined to taxi cabs in Manhattan) but by her own particular brand of nasty armchair psychology (not to mention plagiarism), is beside herself:

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.

Beaten at her own game, is she? Why yes. (She does impart one piece of information: Sharron Angle “campaigns at times with a .44 Magnum revolver in her 1989 GMC pickup.” My word, what is not to like about her?!) The tough girls have not only given a clear alternative to the whiny victimhood of Dowd and her fellow gender-grievance-mongers; they have redefined political feminism. You can gain power, win the respect and affection of fellow citizens, and be pro-free market, pro-guns, and pro-life (the unholy trinity of the left).

They got everything they wanted. They can marry other women, kill their babies, and hate on men. Life should be good for them.

Just read Dana Perino’s remarks regarding this piece by MODO the DODO.

One of the commenters to Dana hit the nail on the head and I think explains a lot of the anger and bitterness displayed by liberal women.

She says that conservative women LIKE TO BE WOMEN! BINGO.

One of the things I have always thought with liberal women, especially the feminazi types is that they are angry that they are women.

It explains so much when you think about it.

That is not Maureen Dowd, but Katherine Zeta Jones who married Dowd’s then boyfriend Michael Douglass.

Maureen Dowd (aka MoDo) has always been unhinged or about six bricks short of a full load in the cognitive reasoning department. Whenever I see her glory, she reminds me of a goalie for a dart board.
