Maureen Dowd spoofs the Des Moines debate and it's absolutely Hillaryous!

[ClarkUSA]

This is a little comic relief which sums up the past few weeks nicely:

WASHBURN: Senator Clinton, I’d like you to start us off by explaining why your campaign has been getting down and dirty with
someone so clean and articulate?

CLINTON: I apologized to Senator Obama. I absolutely did not authorize or condone the remarks made by one of my co-chairs in
New Hampshire about my distinguished colleague’s youthful indiscretions. If primary voters don’t care that he did “a little blow,”
then my goodness, why should I? Even if he had packed a straw full of the white rabbit and had a snow bunny blow it in his ear,
who would care, for Pete’s sake? I only wish I knew all that colorful chasing-the-dragon lingo. Senator Obama certainly has a lot
of street cred, even if it isn’t Main Street. We owe it to the good people of Iowa to stick to critical issues like the economy, and
how to get a fiscally responsible budget like we had in the ’90s, the ’90s, the ’90s —

WASHBURN: Snap out of it.

CLINTON: Sorry. Anyway, even if Senator Obama were still riding the snow train, I would not allow any revelations about it to sully
this campaign. I’m not sure who that young man in a hoodie was that Barack was talking to outside tonight, before the debate. I’d
seen the young man earlier, standing around in the shadows outside. But that’s neither here nor there. Even if I had been able to
see whether any money was exchanged, or who was selling to whom, I would not allow anyone in my campaign, even that scamp
Mark Penn, to use the word cocaine, cocaine, cocaine —

WASHBURN: Senator!

CLINTON: Continuing in this vein, I just want to conclude by saying, both in terms of experience and illegal substances, I am vetted.
I am tested.... Change is mine now, Senator Belushi. Bill and I stole it weeks ago. Some people believe you get change by hoping for
it. Some believe you get change by snorting it. I believe you get it by working hard... I know that some of my supporters have been
spreading gossip that Senator Obama loves the madrassa system for pre-K through terrorist training camp. But there is not a gram
of truth in those accusations. We shouldn’t inject intolerance into this race... It’s no wonder you didn’t want to go into Iraq, Barack.
There are no free bases there... And I am sure that Senator Obama is dreaming of his usual White Christmas. Hitch up the reindeer!

WASHBURN: As I was saying, a Happy New Year.

CLINTON: He gets no kick from Champagne ...

Man, that's good. :rofl:

1. I usually can't stand Dowd.

But I have to admit --if Jon Stewart did the same routine --I'd be laffing my ass off.

That was funny, Clark.

[WCGreen]

2. It's a good one....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Oh, I love it!

The puns just don't stop!

:rofl:

[MadBadger]

4. Washburn: Thank you Senator, And....here is my endorsement, because you stayed positive!

[maddiejoan]

5. You do realize

that the OP is a spoof right?

[ClarkUSA]

7. That would have been the better ending line, hnmnf

You should email Dowd with it... I'm sure she'd love it.

[BenDavid]

6. I spoof MoDo......

Mo, you ignorant slut.
You're NOT that stupid.

You and your whore friends shielded the boy king during the campaign - THAT'S how we got here.
You and your whore friends fabricated horseshit about Al Gore and protected Governor Blow Monkey.
You and your whore friends chose NOT to ask any meaningful questions.
Why don't you use that NYWTimes bully pulpit to ask Weak & Stupid where he was when the National Guard record says he was "unavailable for duty?"

No, you'd rather screech personal slurs at Senator Clinton than do your damn job, MoDo. Instead of telling the truth about Bush, you fabricated lies about Bill and Hillary - because your whore paper LIKES that. Don't sit there and ask, "How did this happen?" when YOU and your whore friends fucking caused it.

Bob Schieffer "Bush has such a firm grasp on foreign policy issues"
Candy Crowley "Bush is such a genius, and we all love him."
Tim the Whore "Al Gore is a serial exaggerator and cannot be trusted, ...not like Bush."
Cokie the Whore "Al Gore is so stupid, he chose to lie about Love Story when his wife is still alive!"

David Letterman was the ONLY guy to ask any kind of probing questions of the Failure in Thief and he's a damn comedian. He's not SUPPOSED to be separating the boys from the men. That was YOUR job, MoDo, but you decided to play the whore, instead.

So don't just sit there, waving your chalky thighs in the air - get off your ass and DO YOUR JOB. Stop fabricating lies and stop walking the street in those hooker shoes.

8. lol

calm down

[gmudem]

9. Somebody can't take it a little criticism of his candidate

Relax man.

[aquart]

10. Figured it's you posting the anti-Hillary swill.

Dowd just can't loathe her enough, can she?

But we're glad to know that Democrats now find prior drug use a good thing in a candidate. My biggest objection to Hillary was always a lack of what I consider mental independence. But to be fool enough to fall for tobacco advertising and the pressure to be cool with his peer group? Gotta say Obama is taking the lead on sheeplike behavior.

[hayu_lol]

11. If you don't know who or what Dowd is and has been...

go back and read about her on bartcop back issues.

12. A little sophomoric humor never hurt anyone.
