that is Maureen Dowd's mind, we find that contrary to what the Public Editor of her own goddamned newspaper very publicly said about her own goddamned columns not two months ago:
"Obama also allowed Hillary supporters to insert an absurd statement into the platform suggesting that media sexism spurred her loss and that “demeaning portrayals of women ... dampen the dreams of our daughters.” This, even though postmortems, including the new raft of campaign memos leaked by Clintonistas to The Atlantic — another move that undercuts Obama — finger Hillary’s horrendous management skills.".
[Head meet desk]
Absurd, yes, indeed.
I'll give you absurd: these "postmortems" (based on what she supposed are "Clintonista" based leaked memos) she says "finger Hillary's horrendous management skills" while in the same sentence she also says this is somehow remarkably "another move that undercuts Obama"!
You can't make this shit up! That Hillary has MAD SKILLZ! She can shoot and kill Obama THROUGH HER OWN BODY!
This one sentence was buried in just more of the usual paranoid, evidence-free CDS ravings of this deeply, deeply disturbed and stupid individual.
Dear Clark Hoyt, I don't think your initial public chastisement had lasting impact. Please try again.

That is
beyond bizarre. And the NYT publishes that crap?
The woman needs some time off away from the public.
That was the funniest shit I've read today.
Screaming & Flying Monkey Menagerie
Can someone give me an example of encouraging her supporters to "mess up Barack Obama's big moment?" The irony is that she's probably done more for the presumptive nominee than any non-vice presidential pick had done for past presumptive nominees, all the while her own party tried to sabotage and humiliate her at every turn. And, what does she get for this? Perpetually being kicked in the throat.
Really, they won't be happy until she preforms a physical hari kari on the stage of the convention at Mile Hile Stadium before a roaring crowd of +70,000.
i can't read her
without swearing really REALLY loudly. It's fun when I'm in public.
Go Hillary or Go Green!

Why did I click that link? Why?
The lying, it burns!
The roll call, a standard part of any convention, is Hillary's "idea"?
The leak of campaign e-mail and the inevitable unflattering interpretations thereof "undercuts Obama"?
Every article she writes is a new sequel to "Heathers."
As MyiQ2xu said more eloquently the other day, everthing HRC
does, whether good, bad or indifferent, has a negative impact on Obama's campaign. At least, according to the Obama campaign.
Her campaigning for him - bad. Because no matter how much she attempts to ride the Unity
Pony
people see her as the stronger candidate.
Her political silence during this run up to the convention - bad. She's not doing enough to help him pull his polling numbers out of the toilet.
Her husband's silence - bad. Because no matter what Bill says, it's either racist or a snub.
Ah, the citations are endless. She's like cinderella and the ugly stepsisters (Pelosi, Brazile and Dean) no matter what she does, it's wrong. That was a terrible analogy but I'll leave it.
I love this job!
I'm amazed at how much Clinton and how little Obama is in the
news these days. Vacation or not, he's losing precious ground by the minute. She's gaining much.
I love this job!
Sorry to one and all
For linking to that trainwreck.
I've found it helps to imagine her mind as a caged tribe of Bonobos and each sentence is a piece of feces thrown by one of them. I'm not saying it helps ALOT, but it does help.
An important point to remember is what Somerby points out, that no matter what end of the Democrat scale you are on, even if you are a 1000% true-blue OFB
Obama supporter, columns like this one hurts Obama and it hurts Democrats. Either by design or out of her own stupidity. You will note she paints Obama and the DNC and everyone else as hapless, powerless bystanders, without the courage or strength to "rid her of this troublesome couple".
You don't see her writing about McCain, the Republicans or GWB like this do you?
Olympics in repressive China?
War between Russia and Georgia?
No prosecution of political cronies being hired in the AG office?
Nope, the thing that has MoDo's mojo is that Hillary (supposedly) snuck one harmless line in the DNC plank calling out the sexism in the campaign. That's the thing that gets the monkeys in her mind all riled up.
That and whether Hillary's delegates will get a chance to vote for her. Because that would be the most awfullest evah, and Obama is too much of a weak sister to stop her! Lions and tigers and bears, OH MY! Where's my Daddy!
