Maureen Dowd: Bringing Sexy Back (Compares Brown to Obama)
The New York Times ^ | January 27, 2010 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 01/26/2010 11:13:16 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

He’s The One, all right.

The handsome, athletic pol with the comely wife and two lovely daughters who precipitously rose from the State Legislature to pull us all together.

The fresh face and disarming underdog America’s been waiting for, someone who suffered through his parents’ divorce, watched his mom go on welfare and survived some wayward youthful behavior to become disciplined and successful — a lawyer, a lawmaker and a devoted family guy who does dog duty.

Someone who’s always game for a game of pickup basketball, loves talking sports and even boasts beefcake photos. A pro-choice phenom propelled into higher office by conservatives, independents and Democrats, a surprise winner with a magical aura.

The New One is the shimmering vessel that we are pouring all our hopes and dreams into after the grave disappointment of the Last One, Barack Obama.

The only question left is: Why isn’t Scott Brown delivering the State of the Union? He’s the Epic One we want to hear from. All that inexperience can really be put to good use here.

Obama’s Oneness has been one-upped. Why settle for a faux populist when we can have a real one? Why settle for gloomy populism when we can have sunny populism? Why settle for Ivy League cool when we can have Cosmo hot? Why settle for a professor who favors banks, pharmaceutical companies and profligate Democrats when we can have an Everyman who favors banks, pharmaceutical companies and profligate Republicans? Why settle for a 48-year-old, 6-foot-1, organic arugula when we can have a 50-year-old, 6-foot-2, double waffle with bacon?

Everyone in Washington now wants to touch the hem of President-elect Brown — known in the British press as “the former nude centrefold” — who has single-handedly revived the moribund Republican Party.(continued)

all I see is envy and jealousy exuding from her every orifice as she drowns in her secret sea of buyers remorse over the kenyan.

She is trying to reverse what has been said about hussein in her catty little way with the "royalty" jokes.

I think it was all a Freudian slip, as most everything is pretty much true...I HAD rather have waffles than "arugala"...whatever that is.

I'm guessing she had to get a new keyboard after that article as her tears probably fell into the old one and ruined it.

This show of the dems in their dying throes is so entertaining, we won't even need popcorn. ROTFLMAO

Well I am a guy who likes girlies but Scott is a lot cooler than the Kenyan born marxist islamo dorkweed. Scott’s got a truck, a uniform, a nice family. Scott’s wife was smoking when she was younger and the horrible witch was never smoking.

Obama had a Saudi trust fund or some weird social security scam and 48 SS numbers or probably dead people he and grandmama scammed plus a totally FU family.

Probably that's where the rest of the TARP money went.

It would be just like wimp Obama to bring a former Duke men’s hoops player with him for two-on-two basketball with Brown and his daughter.

Politics as seen through the eyes of a typical female voter. His looks trigger that warm, fuzzy emotion and ta’hell with whether he’s a Marxist whose mission is to burn our Constitution. Does he smell as good as your plumber, ladies? After all, that IS important.

Notice how this nasty woman perpetuates the meme that opposition to Obama is “populism”?

The Left equates populism with ignorance, and since they believe any opposition to Obama can only be born of ignorance, therefore the opposition must be populist.

Hence, we have the chattering class telling themselves that the American people are too dumb to appreciate Obama’s policies (Joe Klein) or that the reason they voted for Brown was because he is a “hunk” (Sally Quinn).

And that is why Obama’s strategy is to co-opt the “populism” for himself. Since populists are stupid, it should be easy enough for the Left, since they are the smartest people, to grab the reins and control the populist wave.

The easiest populism is class warfare, and that is why the Left believes attacking the still-fragile financial system with special “bank taxes” is going to pull the morons who voted for Brown to their side.

Oh, and they’re going to explain why Obama’s policies are good for America once again, only this time they’re going to talk real slow and use shorter words.

You all save this article so in the future when Scott is giving the State of the Union address, we can toss this back at Ms Dowdy.

Oh, yeah...her subconscious was *definitely* in control of her keyboard, alrighty.

I bet she regrets writing all of that because only die-hard Kool-Aid drinkers will “get” the joke.

Normal people will see it as a ringing endorsement of him.

He is good looking in the classic “every man” sort of way and comes across as very mellow and charming...but look at his eyes.

They’re hard, alert and steely and I’d bet if you crossed him, he’d knock you flat...while offering you a typically dazzling, disarming smile.

The dude’s got that natural-born, comfortable, intangible aura of “IT” all over him.

I’d love see obummer [try to] run against him in 12.

We haven't selected our nominee as yet. But when we do, you can bet, she'll be much fairer than thee!

Someone has to ask; At State dinners, does ZERO line up green peas on his knife, tilt his head back and roll them off, one by one into his gaping pie hole ?
