mf -- liberals and Democrats are even more conflicted than Steve Martin in The Man With Two Brains. But nowhere near as funny.

Two weeks ago they were trumpeting a misleading demi-statement from Carly Fiorina about Sarah Palin not being able to "run a major corporation." (She actually referenced ALL the candidates.)

However they've spent the past eight years demonizing the current VP Dick Cheney for having the gall to have successfully run major corporations.

In 1984 Orwell described this as DOUBLESPEAK. The capacity to take two contradictory positions simultaneously on any issue, and to actually BELIEVE then both at the same time.

It's very weird. And very leftist.

Vote 4 change. Vote 4 anything. See Jack & Mr Shy's first campaign ad for the ONLY viable 3rd party candidate.

Dowd continues to flog the dead horse that President Bush was warned that bin Laden was going to attack, but did nothing.

She continues to rant that McCain and the Republicans are to blame for the mess we're in, despite the Democrats' holding up reform int 2005.

Whatever gets you through the night, Mo.....

I loved McCain's comeback during the debate when he pointed out "I don't even have a seal, yet". I can't remember the context, but it was a great line.

Obama might not have suffered a telling blow, but he sure was bleeding from a 1000 cuts at the end of the debate.

As Maureen Dowd continues to age (not so gracefully), she is beginning to look more and more like Helen Thomas.

McCain called Obama not ready to lead.  Obama went off into that silly tangent with a canned response on his father to go into improving the US Stature after the war.  McCain closed with an example of atually doing so.

The media is saying Either Obama won or or drew because there was not huge gaffe.  I am hoping that talk radio will pick up on the bracelet thing. That is unforgivable.

Some of her revelations about why certain VP chioces were made, shouldn't her picture include a whiplash collar???

Dowd is a liberal ideologue, but she is a smart, tart and witty one. She knows that Obama's performance was all style and no substance. It is not always true that a single knock out blow has to happen for one person to win a debate and the other lose it. Nixon lost the 1960 debate because of a bunch of little things: His suit, agreeing with Kennedy too much, no make up... Kerry actually won the first 2004 debate if you are honest about it. He lost the other two because he gloated too much about the first debate. His natural arrogance made him look unpresidential standing next to the current commander in chief. Kerry's loss was more of a subtle deflation than a single stumble. The frightening thing for the Dems is that Obama put in a first rate performance as compared to how he usually handles debates. McCain won the debate even though he was not on his best game. What should happen if Barack has an off night? As for Palin, etc: The dems have done such a great smear job on her insofar as her intelligence that all she will have to do is be able to fog a mirror with her breath just to hold her own against Biden. Personally I think she will do much better than that because her answers will not be filtered by liberal bias. As for Dowd being a pig...now c'mon guys. Let's not stoop to the level of Obamanite name calling. What would Reagan say? He would say Maureen Dowd is a lady and needs to be treated with respect. That kind of old fashioned chivalry, one of Reagan's calling cards, drives leftists crazy. Better to say: "Oh Maureen You're beautiful when you're angry.

She's on to the next debate already? that's proof enough for me that Obama lost.  If he'd won Dowd's article would be all about the golden boy triumphing over the old fool.

"to slide under John McCain’s skin and irritate until he goaded McCain into doing exactly what he really wanted to do: tell off the whippersnapper who’d never bled for his country."

 What the hell is that comment supposed to mean? John McCain never bled for his country??? Just what exactly has Obama "bled" for his country besides shooting staples into telephone poles????I'm surprised you didn't take a jab that comment Mark.

They're underestimating Palin once again. Just like people questioned McCain's choice, they questioned whether or not she can speak at the RNC. They keep doing it and they're going to do it w/this next debate. 

 Just b/c Palin didn't answer Katie Koran's questions like liberals wanted her to will be long forgotten.  I liken Palin's performance to "playing possum". 

 Palin's a hunter. She knows all about that tactic.

Mr.L

It is ironic to reflect on Obama’s infamous remark about bitter people, when he has in his camp the High Queen of Bitterness.

If Maureen were ever able to see the bright side of a situation, she could at least draw satisfaction from the fact that her champion did not hem and haw too much.

Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.

Isn't readership of the NY Times going down?  I wouldn't be suprised if Maureen Dowd's catty column was THE reason. 

I actually feel sorry for this nit-wit. 

Silly little Mo, needs a warm bath and some milk to get through it all.  She may not be dumb, but she still needs the Meds.

Dowd is a major columnist for the supposed "flagship" news organization of this country the NY Times and neither she nor her editors cared to research the fact that Bush isn't responsible for the decorations on the mountain bikes that were donated to the White House?

Typical. I wonder how many Presidential Seals were on the items the Clinton's looted on their way out the door?
