The girl with kaleidoscope eyes #MaureenDowd
by digby
I’m going to guess that Maureen Dowd brought some of that high powered Bubba Kush back from Colorado with her and took another one of little “pot trips” while she was writing this. There’s really no other explanation for it:
So when I think of [Robin] Williams, I think of [Michael] Kelly. And when I think of Kelly, I think of Hillary, because Michael was the first American reporter to die in the Iraq invasion, and Hillary Clinton was one of the 29 Democratic senators who voted to authorize that baloney war.
I realize it’s hard sometimes to find ways to segue into a good Hillary and “Barry” bash. But this is about as strained as it gets.
She’s been promoted by the way. She’s going to be the “narrative journalist” for the New York Times magazine. I have a feeling I’m going to have to lay in a supply of the Kush in order to survive it.
Just for fun, here’s a little reminder of Dowd’s perspicacity from 2006:
The Democrats will never win the White House as long as they’re stuck in Bleak House. They’re slipping and sliding in the same crust-upon-crust of mud and caboose-creeping fog and soft black drizzle and flakes of soot that blacken the chamber of law in the opening of the terrific Dickens novel (now an irresistible PBS series).
The lumbering pace of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce will pale compared with the time it will take the cowed and colicky Democrats to yank back power from Republicans skilled at abusing it.
The party simply seems incapable of getting the muscular message and riveting messenger needed to dispel the mud, fog, drizzle and soot emanating from Karl Rove’s rag-and-bone shop on Pennsylvania Avenue.
As the White House drives its truckload of lies around the country, it becomes ever clearer that Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore are just not the right people to respond to the administration’s national security scare-a-thon.
I literally just picked that excerpt at random.
