MoDo's off the plane
Howard Kurtz hangs out in the press tent at Oxford, Miss., and learns that one famous columnist will not be flying on Straight Talk Air.
Outside, on a summerlike evening, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs held forth for the likes of NBC's Chuck Todd and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who was wearing an Elvis T-shirt. (The company may have been more pleasant than that of McCain aides, who have barred Dowd from the candidate's plane.)

Maureen Dowd Reacts To Being Tossed From McCain Plane

Earlier this week, we learned that the McCain campaign had barred New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd from traveling on their plane, stranding her at an airport hotel in Pittsburgh as McCain's pool of reporters wended their way on without her ready skill at alliteration and musical theatre references. Since then, Dowd has had the opportunity to respond:
"I had had a great relationship with John McCain for 16 years, through columns he liked and didn't like. So at first I thought it was a mistake and doublechecked with the press office. They said I was banned from both planes for 'the foreseeable future.' Then [McCain spokeswoman] Nicolle Wallace was gloating about it to reporters on the Palin plane," Dowd wrote in an email.
"It was disappointing because I didn't think John McCain would ever be as dismissive of the First Amendment as Dick Cheney."
The first amendment doesn't mean you get to fly around on McCains plane and criticize him.
“What goes around comes around, Mo. Haven’t you figured that out yet?”
The rules aren’t supposed to apply to them.
Poor you.
The story of MoDo’s life - Another man, another rejection.
The one thing I do give credit to McCain for is calling out the media. He did it to MSNBC on air and does it to the New York Times all the time.
I just wish he did the same to his “friends” across the aisle.
They need to throw the Boston Globe’s lying pigs off the plane....preferably from 40,000 feet.
My only regret was that the plane was on the ground when she was expelled.
