Normally, I leave the MoDo dissection to Molly Ivors, but I read the first line of Maureen Dowd's latest anti-HIllary screed in the Times this morning and immediately felt last night's dinner roiling in my intestines like so many lotto balls. Molly and NTodd both fisk the column, but this one graf (apart from the rest of the BDSM stereotyping inanity) jumped out at me:
She has continued to flick the whip in debates. She usually ignores Obama and John Edwards backstage, preferring to chat with the so-called second-tier candidates. And she often looks so unapproachable while they’re setting up on stage that Obama seems hesitant to be the first to say hi.
Maureen. Get off the plantation already. The racist Mandingo fantasies belong on your nightstand, not in an internationally distributed "newspaper of record".
Jesus tits.
She really does have some weird Mistress and the Slave Boy fantasy thing going. I think it's because Negroes are endowed with strange powers that give them a lot of control over young women.

Think positive. She hasn't actually said that Hillary has asked Obama to give her boots a polishing, thankyou.

I'm not a Hillary fan, but the more the Wurlitzer keeps it up, the more I want to vote for her AND fuck her.

pansy, mo simply can't get the scent of hill's panties out of her mind.
just like the village boyz never tire of sniffing the big dog's briefs, or was it boxers.
anyway, it's some disease. am glad I never had it, nor do most of us.
but careful, coz it can still fuck us up.

"jesus tits" – oh that's a keeper lol

So Hillary is a whip-cracking dominatrix who constantly plays the gender card? Whuuuh??
Posted by: Agí | November 18, 2007 at 01:22 PM
So sad for poor MoDo - neither Clinton has wanted to get under her skirt. I suggest she get a reference from Sen. Vitter for a good dominatrix and work off her lesbian bondage fantasies before she tries any more columns.
Dare I wonder what was really going on with the Dean's green shag rug?

I would have thought that our looming train wreck would cause the usual suspects to grow up or get fired. I am wrong. We're launching this election with the exact same cast and script but just faster, and we will get the same result.
If the NYT fired MoDo and gave Digby the job, I'd have hope. I don't.

Modo is at it again - tryin' to be one of the Boyz.
It wasn't enough she carried the water for the right and smeared Gore to kingdom come in 2000.
Now she's got a hard on to take down hillary.
They didn't let her into the club after 2000 or 2004. You'd thinkg she'd learn they arent' ever going to let her join that club.
I haven't been a hillary person either, sharkbabe, but I'm with ya on this one.
And on "jesus tits" too.

Betcha Mo Pan Dowdy is hesitant to say 'High'.

YAWN. Haven't read her worthless column in years!
Posted by: raceynora | November 18, 2007 at 11:05 PM
I can't believe the shit that spews from the pages of the NYT. MoDo belongs in Town Square playing court jester for pennies with Dr. Mike and Doug Giles.
I've already made up my mind, I am so absolutely disgusted with the rampant misogyny going on that I want to see H. Clinton win just to watch these asses' heads blow off. Obama as her running mate, oh the southern wingnuttery would absolutely melt! Yes!
Also, the country is ready for progressive movement forward and Clinton I think can move the country gently down that course. Then we'll take the next four years with Obama/Kucinich.

maybe if somebody would just marry her...

Dowd needs to be careful if she wants to derail Hillary's campaign. Painting Hillary as a Nazi Leather Dominatrix would actually win her Republican votes...

All that talk about dating is making her private life spill over into her column. Even more than usual.

***And she often looks so unapproachable while they’re setting up on stage that Obama seems hesitant to be the first to say hi.***
Plus he's all jealous of her Hello, Kitty lunchbox...
She's really gone round the bend.
