He no longer has to chafe at his father's imposing shadow. If he wants to go to war with Saddam without even discussing it with his dad, he can. If he wants to keep his dad from having a speaking slot at the Republican convention, he can.

Even though the president, waving off any attempts to put him "on the couch," refuses to acknowledge any Oedipal sensitivities, John Kerry artfully drilled into the sore spot in the first debate.

Senator Kerry evoked the voice of Bush 41 to get under 43's thin skin. The more Mr. Kerry played the square, proper, moderate, internationalist war hero, the more the president was reduced to childish scowling and fidgeting, acting like a naughty little boy who refuses to sit in his seat and eat his spinach and do all the hard things a parent wants you to do.

Playing the Daddy card was part of the Kerry makeover by the Clintonistas - Bubba eye for the Brahmin guy.

The Clintonistas have infused the Kerry campaign with a new motto: "It's the couch, stupid!"

4. Maureen Dowd is like a pig at a corporate hog farm

Even though some of her excrement may be astounding for the colorful results of her ingestion, the end result is that her offerings are just another pile of corporate crap that is drowning this country in its own swill.

Dowd really stinks. Really. Oink, oink, oink. Smells really bad. And it pollutes your air, rivers and ground water. Oink, oink, oink.

Take pleasure at your own peril.

6. I agree

did you see her on The Daily Show, playing with her hair? :puke:

5. MODO hates everybody.

Today she was great, next time, who knows. You know she is great when radical liberals hate her as much as radical conservatives hate her.

7. Had to Dig at the Clintons, Didn't You, Maureen?

Can't stand competence in any form, can you?. The Big Dog hasn't lifted a finger to help Kerry, since he's incapacitated by media-induced, stress-related illness which will reduce his lifespan and its quality (and he's only one of many Americans so afflicted), but you are in there digging anyway. DISGUSTING!

So jump on your creation, George Wrong Way Bush. Take your pique out on somebody your own size.
