MAUREEN DOWD: Will Rudy Let Her Rudy-Up?

WASHINGTON

It’s on.

Or, rather, it’s back on.

Rudy versus Hillary, a New York steel-cage match pitting two eye-gouging, hair-pulling, kick-em-till-they’re-dead brawlers.

For months, Hillary’s comely male rivals for the Democratic nomination have tiptoed around her, letting their wives take shots at the front-runner.

Barack Obama looks wary when he’s on stage with Hillary, but Michelle stepped up: “Some women feel it’s a woman’s turn, you know? They just feel like it’s Hillary’s turn. That, I reject, because democracy isn’t supposed to be about whose turn it is.”

That followed Elizabeth Edwards’s takedown of Hillary: “She’s just not as vocal a women’s advocate as I want to see. John is.”

Obama and Edwards probably figured the criticism would sound less Lazio coming from their wives. But it just made them seem as though they were hiding behind their wives’ skirts.

Enter Rudy. He may wear skirts, but he’s not afraid to take down a skirt.....

1. After reading how she helped to tank Al Gore, I am now sure that

Maureen Dowd is an idiot. I don't care whose side she is on.

2. Yep, Rudy will go full frontal when it come to Sen. Clinton.

My apologies for the potential visual this could invoke. MKJ

3. hillary can cut down the ghoul

in a New York second. Not a supporter but the fascistrudy has no business even running for our prez..so he can take his bullshit on the road and find someone who cares for his brand of hate.

4. Not sure exactly what Maureen's issues all are, but she's got em & she's not afraid to show em.

She has a compulsion to feminize men and masculinize women. Having used up all her subtle putdowns long ago, she must resort to open and empty cattiness. Well, actually, 'comely' as an adjective for men is on the sly side, but 'hiding behind their wives' skirts'? Tsk, tsk, Maureen. Cliches like that don't get you into the Dorothy Parker club of biting witticisms.
