MoDo's latest Kerry hit piece

[rockydem]

"n yet another attempt to prove to George W. Bush that he is man enough to run this country, John Kerry made an animal sacrifice to the political gods in a cornfield in eastern Ohio last week.

Four dead geese are not too high a price to pay for a few rural, blue-collar votes in a swing state. As long as Mr. Kerry doesn't slip and ask Teresa to purée the carcasses into foie gras.

Tromping about in a camouflage costume and toting a 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun that shrieked 'I am not a merlot-loving, brie-eating, chatelaine-marrying dilettante,' the Democratic nominee emerged from his shooting spree with three fellow hunters proclaiming, 'Everybody got one, everybody got one," showing off a hand stained with goose blood.'"

11. No, we can't. .. I have PMS baaaad this week. n/t

[NYCGirl]

13. So I guess you're madmaxine?

Just checked your profile.

But that's the kind of stuff guys always say about "uppity" women — the less enligtened guys. And I've seen it quite a lot around here.

Sorry for jumping to conclusions.

2. Should be mo the ho.

3. I disagree. I liked the article.

Especially this part:

The vice president is right that Mr. Kerry can't compete in the arena of power hunting. When Mr. Kerry goes, only the birds are in danger. When Mr. Cheney and his pal Antonin Scalia go duck hunting together, the Constitution is in danger.

Even as they mocked the Democrat for trying to be macho with a wildlife tableau, the Republicans were trying to be macho with a wildlife tableau.

The Bush-Cheney campaign began showing a new ad on Friday aimed at scaring up more votes. Meant to be a chilling cross between "The Wolfen" and "The Blair Witch Project," the ad plays more like a cross between a Sierra Club promotion and "Lassie."

5. That's funny. I have to give her credit for that part (nt)

6. BartCop was right, of course

Dowd hates everybody.

Except William Safire, of course. :puke:

I didn't realize that she and an accomplice did the "Love Story" hatchet job on Gore. What a wicked witch.

7. i thought it was funny also.

people need to lighten up.

10. Small problem with that assessment

The shit she slings slides right off Repuke backs, while it sticks to our man, courtesy of the librul media.

And she's just flat-out wrong in the first sentence. Kerry has nothing "to prove" to the Cheerleader-in-Chief.

8. I Concur

I mean, I agree with your disagreement.

For the most part, I liked the article. I don't feel it is entirely fair to Kerry, she is being idealistic that he shouldn't have to prove anything. He shouldn't, but polls still indicate people trust Bush more to protect us.

I also like the article because it defuses a potentially dangerous (well, all negative ads are potentially dangerous) Republican spot with a different perspective.

9. Dorothy Pucker is up to her usual tricks

[Dees]

12. Don "big stupid hat" Imus loves her.

Ol' Dandy Don "I'll change before the election" Imus and Mo just bash the snot out of Kerry. I think more of my last bowel movement than the both of those wacks put together.

14. These are legitimate criticisms.

I think Kerry's been pandering, and pandering in a sloppy manner. I'd much rather see him sharp-tongue shrubby on the failure to respond to intelligence than shoot ducks to prove he has balls.

15. Her columns all sound alike.

Snippy and supercilious.

She writes like a 12 year-old girl dishing the gossip in the school restroom.

[kaitykaity]

16. She's a waste.

A waste of time, a waste of newsprint. A waste
of air.

Of course, this is a woman in her 50s who goes on
TV to hawk a book and she's had so much surgery she
looks like a Joan Rivers impersonator.

A woman in her 50s who wears tight shirts to show off
her boob job and try to make people believe she's 30
is pathetic in the extreme.
