And, yes, I DO take it personally

Dear Maureen Dowd... Please go directly to hell, do not pass "Go," do not collect $200...

this is what greeted me in my nyt headline email this morning...
Can Hillary Cry Her Way
Back to the White House?

By MAUREEN DOWD

There was a poignancy about the moment, seeing Hillary Clinton crack with exhaustion from decades of yearning to be the principal rather than the plus-one.

i will not dignify such crap by even opening the full piece to see what modo has to say... the headline itself is quintessential dowd bitch-speak, and in its abject repugnance, is totally unworthy of the op-ed page of any newspaper, especially the gray lady... tears are part of being human, and while it's impossible for me to know what really provoked hillary to cry, be it stress, exhaustion, overwhelming emotion, or political calculation, that such an event becomes the overarching topic of tongue-wagging pundits across the nation is nothing less than despicable...

and btw, maureen, on your trip to the inferno, take your new son-of-a-bitch nyt colleague with you...

10:42 PM: Bill Kristol: “It’s the tears. She pretended to cry. The women felt sorry for her. And she won.”

i don't hesitate to reveal that i'm no fan of hrc, but, that notwithstanding, NO ONE deserves this kind of bullshit...

The tears of 41

aw, george h.w. is just a big softie...
During an extensive interview with Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday (11-4-07), former President George Herbert Walker Bush teared up while recalling how nobly the American soldiers behaved towards prisoners in the 1991 Gulf War.



and who can ever forget THIS poignant moment last december...?
Former President George H.W. Bush broke down in tears as he cited his son, Gov. Jeb Bush, as an example of leadership.

Bush was addressing lawmakers, his son's top administrators, and state workers gathered in the House chamber Monday for the last of the governor's leadership forums.




no shit... if my last name was bush, i'd be cryin' too...
