Maureen Dowd Unleashes On Chris Christie
In a slow motion take-down of Chris Christie following the GWB Scandal, Dowd walks readers through an Untouchables-like moment where she sets up the story, baseball bat in hand, and then proceeds to knock Christie over the head in one complete swing of her words.
She mocks him on several fronts. And they all hit soundly. She asks - if this were true corruption of someone with any skill, doesn't its complete and utter failure both in concept and execution indicate that if his office couldn't run a weak attempt at payback, how in God's name would they be able to handle the affairs of the country? She talks about how putting himself out on the stage for a couple hours walking it back doesn't make for fixing the core of the Christie 'bully' syndrome...
As Carter spokesman Jody Powell joked, if Hitler and Eva Braun came on stage at the Gridiron Dinner and mocked themselves in a song-and-dance routine, Washington chatterers would say, “Oh, they’re not so bad.”
Using terms like 'moronic' and 'the big lie', she does a spirited take-down of the Governor with a sweet swish of her pen -- and with her words, dishes up a horse's head of irony for the Governor's bed.
I won't quote the article outright -- read it. It's a pleasurable, easy to follow knock-out. And she puts a lovely velvet glove on for the occasion... for sometimes the most threatening and debilitating dialogue summoned to lay waste on your victim can come in a mere whisper. And Dowd has got Christie's ear right in front of her warm breath lips for this one.

I can't abide the woman, but she's correct about governor Bully.
BRDScall bullshit. "Obama is too much in his head". Sounds like projection, idiot.
Actually I've a read a lot better take-downs of Christie.
Tomm
of their heads. lol
I'm not even sure what that means.. that he thinks too much? It just sounds like a stupid dismissive.. she's already shown she has no clue about Pres Obama. She's a lightweight observer.
Did you see Colbert's take down? funny stuff.

Her loathing of Hillary is so visceral that I'm prone to believe the NY gossip grapevine. The rumor was that in the 90s she had the hots for Bill. I don't know if it's true, but there's something wrong with someone who is that malicious toward so many people.
mean spirited woman;
I would beat MoDo with it, but it's too soft and cuddly. She doesn't deserve such softness.
Thank you!!!!
*DINGGGGGGG*
Although she couldn't resist some jabs at several Democrats.
"a lovely velvet glove ".... "her warm breath lips"...
