Dowd
Sometimes you might appreciate her snark. Mostly you are appalled. With good reason.
…there’s another problem with the opening sentence of the Dowd column. “I’m not bitter.” Oh Maureen — who the hell do you think you’re kidding? The woman positively soaks in bitterness. Marinates in it. It oozes out of her pen and pours into just about every damn word she writes. Her bitterness has utterly corroded her soul. It’s turned her into a twisted freak whose chief pleasure in life seems lie in vicious, barking-mad attacks on the only people capable of ending our long national nightmare — the Democrats. Seriously, if there is any other single person in the media who’s been a more powerful enabler of Republican high crimes and misdemeanors than Modo, I don’t know who it is.
Whole post by Kathy G on the G Spot worth reading.

Thanks for discovering this site. It confirmed my response to Dowd. Also note this new development posted on the site. Thomas Franks, the economic populist now writing for the WSJ:

Breaking news: hell hath frozen over
By Kathy G.
“The lunatics have taken over the asylum. Or at least a room of it, anyway.
By which I mean — Thomas Frank has begun writing a weekly column for the Wall Street Journal opinion section.
Oh. My. God.
This development would be akin to Focus on the Family giving Amanda Marcotte a column in their newsletter. Or the Discovery Institute hiring Richard Dawkins as a senior fellow. Or PNAC bringing Noam Chomsky aboard as their new executive director. Or . . . well, you get the idea.
If you’re familiar with Tom’s work, you know there is no one out there who is a more passionate champion of economic populism, or a more fearless, and hilarious, scourge of economic elites. That the Wall Street Journal opinion page — the ultimate high church of voodoo economics and all other things wingnuttia besides– has brought him onboard is a very interesting development indeed.”

Hooray for Frank. There is no way out of the mess we’re in other than by persuading others, which of course is why we’re in such a mess — others (the WSJ among them) have persuaded too many good people of too many bad things for too many years. It will be fascinating to see how strong and how long Frank continues….
