With Enemies Like These....

As speculation grows about whether (or when) Hillary Clinton will formally announce her candidacy for President (the election's more than 3 years away, for goodness sake), the usual Clinton-haters are unsheathing their knives and sharpening them for the smear assault.  We know that the right-wing will be ginning up new and old conspiracy theories (Benghazi!, BENGHAZI !!) to try to smear Clinton, but we also have to take note, as the very-readable Michael Tomasky observes, of the Boomer "liberals" exemplified by Maureen "MoDo" Dowd and Richard "The Adulterer" Cohen.  Their often snotty, self-righteous pieces on both Clintons reflect a certain segment of the Boomer generation's purist view of how nobly members of that generation (including Hackwhackers) should behave.

Tomasky's piece is well worth a read, if only to understand how some Boomer journalists continue to downplay the, if you will, elephant in the room:  the lunacy of the Rethuglican / Stupid Party and what it's doing to the country.

Narcissism, Limpballs, and Ass Cracks

MoDo's column in today's New York Times thoroughly reams Pills Limpballs for his narcissism and grand ego, and is worth a read. Years ago, she was actually able to get through a dinner with the porcine Pills, who comes across as a massive ball of pig manure.

He also seems obsessed with "anal poisoning," as Media Matters points out. Perhaps this is a psychological/proctological reflection of his Vietnam War-era draft dodging, when Pills escaped the draft by having a cyst in his ass crack. How it got there is subject to speculation, but anal poisoning can't be ruled out.

A Case of Mistaken MoDo

At last week's Democratic debate, New York Times op-ed poo flinger Maureen "MoDo" Dowd apparently mistook Times of London reporter Michelle Henery for the other Michelle - - namely Michelle Obama. According to Henery, the snarky MoDo approached her as a long-lost "friend", apparently mistaking her for candidate Barack Obama's wife. She quickly withdrew when she recognized her mistake. Now, MoDo claims the incident was imaginary, and that the Times of London is investigating. Well, they're not, according to the Times of London. They stand by Ms. Henery's story.

So much for MoDo's powers of observation.

Dumbya to MoDo's Rescue

It's nice to know that the Bush Assministration has no ulterior motive in making sure that New York Times columnist Maureen "MoDo" Dowd gets over the tummy turmoil that she suffered during Dumbya's tour of palaces in the Middle East. Her ride on Air Force One is really neat! MoDo has been snarkily dismissive of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards in her columns over the past year. If she gives the Preznit some slack in the coming months, we'll know that the ol' Dumbya charm worked. Or maybe it was the tainted falafel the Bushies fed her.
