Love for Sale (Maureen Dowd to join conservative media)

nytimes ^ | January 27, 2005 | MAUREEN DOWD

[epluribus unum1]

I'm herewith resigning as a member of the liberal media elite.

I'm joining up with the conservative media elite.

They get paid better.

First comes news that Armstrong Williams got nearly a quarter of a million from the Education Department to plug No Child Left Behind.

The families of soldiers killed in Iraq get a paltry $12,000. But good publicity? Priceless.

Armstrong should return the $$$!! If he is a true conservative and believes in the program, why should he take gummit money?

Pray for W and Our Troops

[Echo Talon]

[John Lenin]

There is a war going on and MoDodo is down to talking about this. Say it isn't so!

[Callahan]

So who's been paying Dowd to plug the same limousine liberal claptrap for the last thousand years?

[clee1]

One problem though, MoDo.

The conservatives DON'T WANT YOU!!!!

[Seaplaner]

What is all this hand-wringing about the 31 marines who died in a helicopter crash in Iraq yesterday? It's only slightly more than the number of people who died in traffic accidents in California last Memorial Day.

Yo, Maureen. I do understand that this is sarcasm (something you are not very good at, by-the-way.)

It's in awful taste, however.

You are, in fact, a truly sick person.

(To say nothing of your editors.)

[econ_grad]

So, what there is a war going on? What does that have to do with Armstrong Williams getting money from the Education Dept?

[Kramster]

Who's she?!

"That's why Rummy also had to twist U.S. laws to secretly form his own C.I.A. A Pentagon memo said Rummy's recruited agents could include "notorious figures," whose ties to the U.S. would be embarrassing if revealed, according to The Washington Post. Why shouldn't a notorious figure like Rummy recruit notorious figures?"

That is one of the dumbest things i have heard a liberal say. Does this moron mean to say that the only people the CIA recruit should be boy scouts? reality check: most people who betray their country unless politically motivated, are real SOBs.

[fish hawk]

Hey Modo, what was the name of that girl Michael married, I forgot?? (snicker)

[REDWOOD99]

Application: DENIED!

[ONETWOONE]

Who would pay her anyways, (ha ha ha ha)..... I can read her for free on Drudge, but no thanks.

Excerpt from this article:

I still have many Christmas bills to pay. So I'd like to send a message to the administration: THIS SPACE AVAILABLE. I could write about the strong dollar and the shrinking deficit. Or defend Torture Boy, I mean, the esteemed and sage Alberto Gonzales. Or remind readers of the terrific job Condi Rice did coordinating national security before 9/11 - who could have interpreted a memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" as a credible threat? - not to mention her indefatigable energy obscuring information undercutting the vice president's dementia on Iraq.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

[F16Fighter]

Is that Tommy Chong holding up that 'Love 4 Sale' sign?

[REDWOOD99]

Michael says,"Mo Who?"

[nutmeg]

Sorry, I meant to post #16 to my ping list...
