I'm in Love with Maureen Dowd

Yes, I'm in love with the Queen of Acerbia. I couldn't stand her when she was skewering my man, George Bush, but now she's the only liberal in the media who dares criticize President Obama. Here's a snippet from her latest masterpiece:

Barack Obama even needs a teleprompter to get mad.
On St. Patrick’s Day, the president spoke a bit of Gaelic, dyed the White House fountains green and talked about his distant relatives in the tiny Irish town of Moneygall, aptly named since money and gall are the two topics now consuming him.

Unlike the John Stewart, David Letterman and the other cowardly comedians on the left, Maureen bravely wields a rapier wit that slashes both right and left. For that I applaud her.

While we're on the subject of criticism, Noemie Emery takes aim at those who sniffed arrogantly at the very idea of Sarah Palin getting anywhere near the White House while hailing Barack Obama as an enlightened version of the second coming:

How right they were to insist that she was unfit for high office. Let’s just imagine what she might have done:

As president, she might have caused the stock market to plunge over 2,000 points in the six weeks after she assumed office, left important posts in the Treasury unfilled for two months, been described by insiders as ‘overwhelmed’ by the office, and then gone on to diss the British Prime Minister on his first state visit, giving him, as one head of state to another, a set of DVDs plucked from the aisles of Wal Mart, a tasteful gift, even if they can’t be played on a TV in Britain. (Note, the Prime Minister, who is losing his eyesight, may even be blind in one eye).

Witty women are so sexy.

I agree with Maureen Dowd!

I'm flabbergasted. Slack-jawed... I actually read something in the New York Times, toilet paper of record, that I agreed with. Even bigger shock: It was written by Maureen Dowd. I highly recommend you go read it.

She casts a rare critical eye on President Obama's sputtering performance and scolds the Democratic Congress for their pork platter disguised as stimulus. She ends by yanking the tails of the Wall Street welfare queens for their extravagance at taxpayer expense while laying off thousands. And she does it all in her classic elegant prose.

Hell hath no fury like a liberal woman scorned...
