Maureen Dowd: Soft Shoe in Hard Times

[spartan61]

I just finished reading Maureen Dowd's OpEd piece in today's New York Times. This just helped me to realize that Boy George is even crazier and more out to lunch than I ever thought. He really is clueless!!

Everyone here is flummoxed about why the president is in such a fine mood.

The dollar’s crumpling, the recession’s thundering, the Dow’s bungee-jumping and the world’s disapproving, yet George Bush has turned into Gene Kelly, tap dancing and singing in a one-man review called “The Most Happy Fella.”

“I’m coming to you as an optimistic fellow,” he told the Economic Club of New York on Friday. His manner — chortling and joshing — was in odd juxtaposition to the Fed’s bailing out the imploding Bear Stearns and his own acknowledgment that “our economy obviously is going through a tough time,” that gas prices are spiking, and that folks “are concerned about making their bills.”

He began by laughingly calling the latest news on the economic meltdown “a interesting moment” and ended by saying that “our energy policy has not been very wise” and that there was “no quick fix” on gasp-inducing gas prices.

3. She's probably lost a bundle in the market recently...

which prompted her to temporarily cease rummaging through the Clinton's underwear drawer.

2. Pot meet kettle.

I can't read her anymore.

I tried, I went and skimmed the article but I just can't take her seriously.

She's just a glorified gossip monger.

4. Yip, she's great at this end of her schizoid spectrum, like Tweety!1 n/t
