I realize this was written in satire, but Mr. Finklestein there is more going on in this than religion.

Maureen Dowd by her own admission is an Irish girl raised in an Irish family with all the trimmings where men are real men and women are real women cooking turkeys, trusting in God and having babies.

Dowd like all liberals are in rebellion from that life of orderly happiness and in fear their "lives" are going to be exposed for the theft they are.

Dowd honestly when fixed up is a pretty woman. Rush Limbaugh in being out with her said when the "boys" came over to rib him with typical "baby maker" humor and he cringed........he said Dowd just giggled and loved it.

I have posted here before that women like Dowd just crave, yearn, scream and are ornery over the fact all they want out of life is FOR A MAN, a Conservative man to tell them which end is up, that they are screwed up, made a mess out of their lives and that Dowd is going to go home, HIS HOME, cook, clean, make whatever kind of babies she can with her age and bring him a beer and chips while he complains about how girly she has with those panty hose in the crapper.........using terms like crapper, babe, sweetie, hot stuff and telling her he will beat the bajesus out of any guy who looks at her.

That is all Maureen wants just like all liberal women. They want a man they can pretend they roll their eyes over and are shaping for good and know they will never change him.........and they love it.

Dowd in her entire life has bought presents for jerk liberals she thought she could marry, but all they did was lie to her and take sex and run........later when Bill Clinton came into office she thought she had her replacement male as national daddy who cheated on Hillary with her like he did with all liberal women.........but that shrew Hillary won out again like all these women found out in the successful beefcake who was "leaving his wife" instead went back and there Dowd and all of them were with a big void again by liberal males.

Dowd like all liberals has called to God and God did not appear in a puff of Holy fire.........so they ran off and used sex and dope........ridiculed Ma and Pop for their shackled marriage.......hate George Bush and Christians.......eventually got such a load of sin they ran from God instead of getting things right........and now have crystals, Al Gore and Happy Holidays where enough vodka can't drown it all out.

In all honesty if Hillary had a Conservative Christian as a husband like David Limbaugh, she would be such a different customer that everyone would love her. She just needed a man to make her into a confident woman instead of a rapist degrading her bringing home VD and infecting her with it.

Liberal women are not that hard to figure out. They want what they can not have and are protesting too much for what they desire.

Maureen Dowd desires God, a faith like normal people and a Conservative gentleman to tell her how the world rotates and hold her to it..........and to have the expectation she will hold him to that same moral code too.

I have enough problems putting a rope on my own intended, otherwise it would be a pleasure training Maureen Dowd. She would make a good Christian wife if a Conservative would just throw a lasso on her and put her into the pen for some training so she could grow to all she should be.

So, what MoDo is basically saying is that, like all liberals, it's the game you talk, not the walk you walk that "means" something. Rather than examine her life, get organized, make necessary changes, and in short "improve in the New Year,"she went for the easy "non-fix." Just like the liberals' "in it together society", "new kind of politics," "start a conversation" fluff, she opted for the easy liberal way....pretty words, nice atmosphere, magical thinking...that accomplished.....nothing. (Well she may feel better about the mess her life is in now, because she "tried" to fix it.

For liberals, it's the "intention" you know, the "attempt"...whether or not you succeed, get results, is immaterial. You "tried." That's all that matters.

reminds me of nancy reagan and her astrologer.

 at least dowd doesn't have an inside track to the president.

get maureen dowd a man ... i give the hussy credit for trying though

M.O. is what? 55 years old or something? She's not some hot babe -- maybe she never was -- but she is now just what used to be called a spinster. She has every right to look for something to hold dear -- be it cystals or pyramids. Has she considered dating Paul Krugman? Now there's a guy who's NEVER been with a hot, semi-hot or just plain woman -- 55 years old or 25 years old.

I would describe it as more of a titter.
