Instead of raising us up by behaving like exemplary, sterling people, you bring us down to your own level, a place of blurred lines and fungible ethics and sleazy associates.

I don't think it takes any arm twisting to get Progressives into the gutter.

[Defiant]

If only David Brooks were as conservative.

[TigersEye]

Whatever else you say about this president, he has no shadows.

Utterly risible.

SCATHING!

Count MO-Do out of Hitlery’s corner. Forever.

This truly is negative toward the Clintons. However, Dowd reveals her hand, that she'll support Clinton if she has to, and she doesn't mention a single alternative name.

Krauthammer called it 'Clinton fatigue', and it really does sound exactly like what Dowd is suffering from.

It's hard to believe the democrats don't have someone better.

It's a safe assumption that Maureen Dowd will not be enjoying dinner with Hill and Bill anytime soon.

WOW!!! Just……….WOW

No Drama Obama and his advisers are clearly appalled to be drawn into your shadowy shenanigans, just as Al Gore once was. Whatever else you say about this president, he has no shadows.

ROLF! Gads, do you think she wrote this with a straight face?

[GOPJ]

...and the ill-advised gluttony of an American feminist icon wallowing in regressive Middle Eastern states’ payola.

When Dowd's on, she on... Great post. Thanks for sharing oleus.

[Bulwinkle]

Lol! Funny stuff

The mainstream media was never as protective of the Clintons as they've been of Obama.

Maybe you can take Saturday Night Live as a barometer: they couldn't pass up the rich comic potential of the Clintons, but they didn't or only barely touched Obama.

Dowd is mining that comic vein. There's no order out to circle the wagons yet, so she feels free to needle Hillary.

This is not without precedent. In 1998, Maureen Dowd wrote a classic column in which she asked the question, "Is Bill Clinton in league with the Devil?"

Liberties; Sympathy for the Devil

A marvelous column, containing this pithy observation, which one might rightly consider heresy when uttered by a committed leftist boob such as Maureen Dowd, who nonetheless has this whole matter well-pegged, in my estimation:

"... Perhaps Bill Clinton is the Devil. It would explain a lot. Certainly, Hillary Clinton is condemned to her own little hell. Certainly, the voters have closed their eyes and made their pact with the Devil: Keep us prosperous and we won't hold you to any special moral or ethical standards.

The Mephistophelean scenario has a wonderful logic. It would explain the extraordinary level of human sacrifice around Bill Clinton -- why so many people around him end up dead, jailed, betrayed, shackled, exiled, subpoenaed, depressed, humiliated, broke, ruined and smeared. (And, in the case of poor Buddy, neutered.)

James McDougal dies abruptly, a broken, crazy man, in solitary confinement in Federal prison while his ex-business partner has more political lives than a black cat.

Remember...this was in 1998, and every average dumbass on the street was thinking that he was wealthy because of some dot-com stock market bubble magic wrought by Bill Clinton. As it happens, of course, the reason for the apparent prosperity was that the then largest generation American history was in its peak earning years and was saving as much as they could for their retirement which was only a few short years off. Bill Clinton had nothing to do with it, didn't himself understand the reasons for it, and of course, couldn't replicate those times himself even if he was President today. But a lot of morons gave him credit for the apparent economic miracle happening at the time because he was more than willing to take credit for it, even though it all pretty much disappeared before his 2001 departure from office in utter, humiliating disgrace.

Oh my,
Thanks oleus,
Oh my.
Yo bill and hill, up yours.

[Sea Warrior]

What I see is the leftists looking for a more convincing liar. Hillary is not. Not of the “ Exceptionally good liar” caliber that her so-called husband is.

Dowd: ”the ill-advised gluttony of an American feminist icon wallowing”

Although gluttony and wallowing are clearly appropriate in describe the Hildebeast, “feminist icon” is an insult to many true feminists, such as:

Camille Paglia: “It remains baffling how anyone would think that Hillary Clinton is our party’s best chance”

Yeah, ok, Maureen.

Republicans in congress are ‘anarchists and haters.’

OK.
