Sarah Palin showed on Friday that in one respect at least, she is qualified to be president. Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy.

Sarah makes my pants go crazy.
emperor's new suit of clothes
Does Maureen Dowd write like a giddy, mean-spirited, semi-literate, adolescent of low-average intelligence because she realizes that that is the only way she can be understood by democrats, or because she just can't do any better?
I recently read a fair sampling of her columns out of curiosity and because I'm trying to understand by what, if any, thought processes democrats reach the conclusions upon which they base their political philosophy. The first thing that occurred to me is that her writing is spotty and often only borderline intelligible. She supports her opinions with vague, obscure, out-of-context references to second-hand testimonials; undisciplined, adolescent name calling; and, of course, the aversion to facts and logical analysis that has become the hallmark of all political discourse by democrats everywhere. She writes with the style and quality typical of mediocre high school newspapers. She writes and thinks the way she writes and thinks because she has the mind of a democrat and none of them can do any better.

WOW !!
Now, Shannon Moore, the Blogger who has attacked Palin on Every issue has come out to say that Palin is a Bully !
Why ??
Simply put Palin is now turning the tables on the Frightened media who constantly attack her, and Moore is in her sights !
Sounds like Poetic Justice to me !
I advise Ms. Moore to get out of the Kitchen if she can't take the heat !!
Lauralics
I looked at her bio on the Huffpo and all of her articles are about her idol, Sarah Palin. Moore comes across as very jealous and her greedy eyes are green with jealousy and dollar bills.

People Fear what they can't destroy !
Palin in 2012 !!!
CADELA
"Usually we don’t find that exquisite battiness in our leaders until they’ve been battered by sordid scandals like Watergate (Nixon), gnawing problems like Vietnam (L.B.J.), or scary threats like biological terrorism (Cheney)."
Hey Maureen, What about "B J Bill Clinton" , Screw anything that walked, JFK?
Come on, even you can be included in the "batty" list. Jealous? Why does anyone care enough about Sarah Palin to try and destroy her? FEAR!
texsam
Since she deals in such disgraceful manner , who really cares what she says , she is irrelevant to everyone outside Washington, so what she says really has no value !!!
Diogenes
WTF! Good looking, actually hot left wing lady. Ann Coulter had better move over.
American Me
And they wonder why the NYT is tanking... It`s a radical left wing biased rag, that used to be one of the main sources of news, but now is pretty much irrelevant.
FedUp
Folks, you have to read the comments from readers at the New York Times on this article. Here's what one reader said:
"Because of the lack of education in the US population she might just pull it off. There are enough people who see the world in black and white terms with simplistic minds that would vote for her and her incoherent babbling persona!"
Poor misguided N.Y. Times reader, guess this might as well be the statement for how B.O. got elected. Like how about the world in fuzzy terms like "Hope and Change"? How about the stupidity of buying into that? Oh, that's right, Liberals are idealists, not ignoramuses.
CzarsRUs
That's because the NYTimes and the other state-controlled media think that anyone who does not vote or believe the way they do must be stupid. The arrogance would actually be laughable, if it were not so dangerous.
Ex Pat
Kinda like you? You folks seem to think because we didn't vote for a man one viagra overdose away from giving the country to a women who sees witch doctors, that some how we have a stupid? Cuts both ways GOP3.
CzarsRUs
Actually, ExPat I can tell the difference between Oped pieces and news reporting. So can many other people----that is why they no longer read the NYTimes, Washington Post, LA times, Globe, etc. for their "news". What used to be called an OPED page is now their entire newspaper. Can they truly be surprised that bankruptcy looms for them????
Ex Pat
Bankruptcy looms for many. I'm reading that the Chicago tribune is feeling the recession’s pinch, too. As I mentioned early, if you think it's their journalism that’s creating their tough times and not this new digital age coupled with the worst recession in decades, you're only fooling yourself. In regards to everything being an OpEd in the NYTs that's just a blatant lie.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/07/us/07mcnamara.html?_r=1&hp
Great journalism. They even take a shot at themselves. Now please, we know you have ONE source for your news, so your ONE DIMENSIONAL view of the world isn't surprising. And another point, if no one is reading it, how can they criticize it?
Ex Pat
@LEWFARGE, I'll pay more attentino to my spleeellling, if you learn to use the caps-lock key... lol

Sarah really scares the Left!!! Having been in a legal battle or 2 I can tell you her legal's fee's would of easily run 1million$ and I truly believe that was the true intention.The left has been doing this for yr's, all at your expense, you have to lawyer up, I think the idea is to Bankrupt you and this Lefty nutcase has come at her for the dumbest thing's yet Sarah still has to fight the charge's. Perfect way to get one out of the way.
Ex Pat
Sarah is creating her own legal problems. If she doesn't want the bill, she should stop the frivolous lawsuits. She needs thicker skin. As well, one million dollars is POCKET change for the COP and for CONSERVATIVES, the fact no one is stepping up to the plate to help her, either from the party or the movement, should speak volumes.
Lauralics
Jeez Foxnation let me reply to Ex Pat next to the statement. Here's your response Ex-Pat:
Because you are not "seeing" what you are reading.
ps How soon you forget, I was at Huffpo before coming here. I'll give you a thumbs up for not being at Huffpo and rattling cages here, most libs want to run with a pack and you appear to be a lone wolf.
Ex Pat
Good for you laura, you went to Huffo po to "rattle cages" as you say and call people "leeches" (as you admitted) and told everyone who doesn't like Sarah that there were "getting their rocks off" and "earning a living of her". Geeze, lousie, that's not discourse, that's trolling. Try actually engaging in debate, like I am. And who says I'm NOT at the huffington post right now? I'm a pretty decent at multitasking, it's another of my glorious attributes like being charming, sophisticated, educated, and MODEST. lol.
Lauralics
They wouldn't post my response to you earlier, I didn't use the phrases you pointed out at the Huffpo, I used them here. I gave a very tame version of their contributors making money off of Palin and they wouldn't even post that. It's sickening that they post accolades about their writers and when one points out they are making money off this person, well that's just beyond the pale.
Lauralics
From Ex Pat:
"when you walk around with blinders on prepare to stumble and trip through life"
-I guess this explains all the bruises on Ex Pat's shins.
Ex Pat
Huh? I've just written that I read everything, it's you folks boycotting all sources of news sans FOX. How does that make me blind?
DESTROY THE LEFT
EX PAT believes we have to READ the NYT's and then THINK about what they write. Really is comical today. And he takes so much space to do it, that little diddy (read the Times) was all needed to be said to make me laugh.
Ex Pat
Again, when you walk around with blinders on prepare to stumble and trip through life Gregory. Having the intellect to entertain opposing views is the mark of a great scholar and politician. Having you head in this sand just leads to dry mouth as you're currently showing us.
Lauralics
"Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy" says it all about Dowd. According to some this is considered "intelligent"? No way, it's guttersnipe journalism, pure and simple.
Ex Pat
It's opinion, and it's just as protected as Bill Orielly opinion when can calls everyone on the left loons. Welcome to America, where the 1st Amendment reigns. And actually "Caribou Barbie is hilarious". No that I am getting my "ROCKS off. Right Lauralics?
Ex Pat
It's an OP ED piece Laura, if you can't differentiate between opinion and journalism you're way out of your league with me. Maureen is the print version of Bill Oriely, you may not like it, and that is fine, you're entitled to disagree with her and think she's a poor journalist because you read one of of probably thousands of articles she's penned. And the only reason you read it (if you did) is because FOX told you too. But even then, you're free to your opinion. That's what makes this country great. The second you want to censor her (or threaten her) because of her opinions, then we're heading down a slippery totalitarian path.
And you tend to use of words like "anal" "get rocks off" etc quite a bit, makes you come off as extremely sexually repressed, or deviant individual. Just my opinion.
Lauralics
Sorry Ex Pat, I don't consider "Caribou Barbie" from a journalist funny or intelligent. This name calling printed in the NYT's is "playground" politics. It's about time you got "your rocks off", your posts were becoming way to anal.
CzarsRUs
Actually...the NYT, to stay afloat, had to take money from a guy who sits on the board of Phillip Morris. Big Tobacco is supporting the Times. Shouldn't the libs be out protesting that???
Ex Pat
We don't challenge free market capitalism, regardless of what you may think. What we do is remember that fact, and if an article about TOBACCO appears then we take it into consideration. If true, of course. What's so hard about that? Shld be be out front protesting everything we don't like in the media like you folks? we're smarter than that. And BTW, everyone is taking money these days to stay afloat, in case you missed the memo.
Texasgl
@ BTW and why is that EX??? THE NYT took a loan from a Mexican @ 14% interest. God ya gotta love these Lib's with such good business since. I totally trust yall!!!!
Ex Pat
A reasonable question, I would say the "we" i referred to are the many progressives I've been blessed with knowing in life, and I would even venture out on a limb and say probably every democrat and the majority of liberals in America. I'm sure there are a few wingnuts out there that would prefer communism (there is a communist party in the US) but no one takes them seriously, just like no one takes people who call liberal progressives "communists" seriously.
CzarsRUs
Just out of curiosity---whose the "we" that supports free market capitalism???
oldtrucker
I'm a retired Truck Driver, can u imagine what EX-PAT and Howdy-Dowdy would have to say about me??? I can't wait for the entertainment........
Ex Pat
What would I say about you OldTrucker?

To ExPat, and dk, have either one of you "Geniuses" been paying any attention to the Laughingstock NYT lately? It's out of money, broke, bankrupt! If not for some lefty loaning that pathetic little news organization millions of dollars, it wouldn't still be around for the 8-9 subscribers that still read that joke of a newspaper! Expat, you say you don't like Fox news, but don't deny its influence. Let's compare fox news viewership, to the laughingstock NYT subscribers! Are you laughing yet?
Ex Pat
What's to compare Timmy? Quality versus Quantity? 4 million NASCAR fans watch Bill Oreally every night. and I admit, he's entertaining at times (that would explain his CABLE raitings), what with the "body language" segments to analyze hard news, and of course with the Culture Quiz with those really REALLY tough hard news hitting questions like "who is the FONZ". Ya, it's really educational news. And btw, ALL papers are having a hard time. In case you missed it, we're in the midst of a digital revolution and you can expect that the paper will, one day, in printed form, cease to exist, but the new gathering apparatus will continue to deliver fine produced in-depth quality journalism. You see, I'm not afraid of any one source of news like you, nor to I cheerlead the fall of ANY news organization (Fox included). I can read, watch and listen to a wide array of opinions and reports, I can even entertain those I don't like, and in the end, I'll come to my own conclusions about things. Can you say the same?
DESTROY THE LEFT
NYT and quality "journalism" in the same sentence? Truly you have made me laugh this morning. Do you actually read that?
Ex Pat
You see LEWFARGE you go and prove my point. You have your hands over your ears you're yelling, "lalalalalal". Learn to be a critical news consumer and don't simply reject anything because BILL tells you to. I mean, all news operations have an agenda to one degree or another. Fox is the mouth piece for the GOP. MSNBC is the mouth piece for the DEMs. The rest are corporate money making machines and will blow whichever direction the money flows. You need to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. I'm not a great fan of FOX news in general, but I think Shep Smith and Meagan Kelly are great. Because I think Hannity is a fool and Beck is boarder-line insane, that doesn't keep me from catching Shep when he's on, or periodically listening to what Sean and Glenn have to froth about. You see? Why would I throw out an entire network because someone tells me to, when I can judge for myself? If anything these days (in an era of concentrated media ownership) we need MORE voices, not fewer, so I would suggest instead of boycotting everything Bill tells you to, judge for yourself. To do that, you actually need to READ the NYTs, and then you actually need to THINK about what you read and not just react to gut instincts. that's how you grow.

NYT does not qualify as a news source. It is a one sided propaganda rag

"Narcssistic Personality Disorder" - I'm surprised Dowd would include this in her column knowing that application of the characteristics of this disorder would more accurately describe the current president than Sarah Palin.
Carol in Tenn.
Guess expat is not quite so smart or he/she would not even respond to some of the things said about it..
Lauralics
Ex Pat calls the Huffpo a site with intelligent comment? University level? All I saw was playground politics with mob rule that doesn't allow for criticism of their fellow libs. It's a regular lovefest and heaven forbid anyone should post on the blind leading the blind, only libs get their say on the Huffpo.
Ex Pat
Again, a prime example of ignorance. baseless accusations without citation or examples. Maureen's article maybe caustic, but she does indeed provide a plethora of proof to her concerns, whereas YOU'VE done nothing of the sort. A factually devoid rant without a single example. And you wonder why us "Liberal Elitists: question your authority on just about anything?
Taxpayer in MN
Dowd offers proof to her concerns? Her only concern was to further trash Palin, at which she succeeds. To call this article anything but caustic, as you have, thanks, is to read more into it than is there. This rant is no different than any other anti-Palin rant I have read or heard.
Lauralics
Silly old Ex Pat, why would I want to give examples of how many times my posts have not made it on the Huffpo. It would take too long, I'll humor you though, I was at that site before I came here. Numerous articles about Palin, a vertible treasure trove of obsessive "intelligent (lol)" contributors. Posts glorifying the contributors, and gee whiz, my posts that point out how their bloggers are making a buck off Palin never seem to make it. What's wrong with that comment? They are making their lifes work about Palin, an accurate point of view when you look at their bios. I guess that point is just too painful to print for the Huffpo.

When will the American Public see the Left for the Eletist Snobs they are. NYC and LA news sources are all for themselves. If someone does not belong to their club, they are attacked. The Ivy Leaguers, the Left Thinkers have placed themselves above John Q and placate the public with their condescendence. They only talk to each other because no one else is on their pedestal. And DC plays with these people and most belong to them. They play up celebreties as long as they follow their crumbs, but will not engage with anyone outside their circus tent. How long will the American Public stand for this garbage? When will they see hole that they are digging for themselves by listening and voting for this trash?
Ex Pat
Sadly Georgia, I've tried three times to post about being a proud Liberal Elitist and WHY I am so proud. Without using any profanity, the moderators of this site have still seen fit to relinquish that post to the digital trash heap, which is indeed a shame. I don't see the word ELITIST as being pejorative, and if the moderators of this site would indeed adhere to the first amendment and allow ALL of my posts through, you'd see an explanation with greater detail. It may not please you, but oh well.
Ex Pat
Maybe if you refrained from comments like "getting their ROCKS off" you'd find your posts allowed. Leeches? And you question their moderation criteria?
