What is it with Maureen Dowd? What makes this woman so bitter and angry? Her piece on Sarah Palin’s resignation can only be described as hateful. The venom and the disdain must have dripped from her forked tongue and drenched her keyboard in an ooze of bile that burned the lettering from the keys. I’m not a big Palin fan. I’ve thought for some time that she’s pretty much done herself in where it concerns her aspirations for higher office, which just makes Dowd’s assault all the more distressing. If Palin is truly done, I have to wonder; why the need to be so brutal?
Maybe the red haired harlot of liberal editorial is still smarting from having her broom shoved squarely up her derrière after being declared a plagiarist? Is that perhaps what has Dowd so rabid? Is she adopting the tone of the blogosphere instead of simply ripping off its content? Surely the vapid rantings of this woman (exquisite use of vocabulary set aside) are more suited to the likes of the Democratic Underground than they are the pages of The New York Times. After all, the New York Times is supposedly the chronicle for the civilized world. Sadly, Dowd’s hit piece showed little in the way of civility.
What is clear is that Palin has likely had enough. Dowd and other liberals want to speculate as to why. Could it be a scandal? With no apparent proof of that, they’ve had to go the “crazy” route. After all, you’d have to be nuts to have had enough of the media and their incessant attacks on your family. Who wouldn’t love to have the media painting them as an imbecilic inbred from a backwoods state? Wouldn’t we all love to see the media and late night talkers savaging our kids? Which is likely what Maureen Dowd’s ire boils down to. HOW DARE SARAH PALIN SAY, ENOUGH, TO THIS MEDIA. HOW DARE SARAH PALIN TAKE CONTROL OF HER OWN DESTINY. HOW DARE SARAH PALIN END THIS MEDIA WITCH HUNT ON HER TERMS. When it’s all said and done, that explains the nastiness of Dowd’s attack. She is absolutely galled by the fact that Sarah Palin has had the nerve to simply walk away.
The press made you Sarah! You can’t just walk away! Dowd’s piece speaks for the whole of the leftist media. Dowd just beat the mass to the mark given this long weekend… but fear not, MSNBC’s lineup of hack talkers will be following up this savagery with their own vitriolic rantings. Sarah Palin has dared to defy the media. She has dared to set the terms. Will she be granted any peace? I doubt it, but the media will have a much harder time painting their attacks as relevant. Dowd as the media’s proxy is just the first of the mainstream to fathom the facts and to understand that their lives are all less relevant without the right’s poster girl to kick around.
So, what next? I would suggest that Maureen Dowd and the rest of the liberals in the media take a hard look at the state of the nation, rather than the state of the Republican Party. They got what they wanted. Those that proclaim themselves in line with their “evolved” thinking are running this country and our demise seems to have been hastened rather than stopped. Mayhaps Maureen Dowd and her ilk would be better served questioning the policies of those truly in power, rather than those that are not. Sarah Palin is a losing Vice Presidential Candidate and still she sends the leftist media into fits. Meanwhile, the neophyte that actually won the presidency is given a pass where it concerns the economy, our world standing and the nation’s general welfare. Sarah Palin is nuts? Hardly. It’s the whole of the Fourth Estate that is stark raving mad. Maureen Dowd isn’t fit to pontificate on “Brangelina” or even the elusive tabloid staple “Bat Boy”, much less politics. Ms. Dowd, honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
