From Barack Obama---to Donald Trump??

Maureen Dowd poses a great question today in the New York Times:

"How could we possibly, in a brief stretch, have gone from the euphoria of our first black president to the desolation of racial strife ripping apart the country?"

It's from her column.

Bonfire of Trump’s Vanity

And the answer, of course, is racism.

And Donald J Trump.

Thanks, Republicans.

Quote of the Day

Fantastic point from Maureen Dowd.

American history?

What was

"Team Romney has every reason to be shellshocked.

Its candidate, after all, resoundingly won the election of the country he was wooing.

Mitt Romney is the president of white, male America...

Listen closely and hear the death rattle of the white male patriarchy."

--Maureen Dowd from her column "Romney is President" in yesterday's New York Times

Quote of the day

"It’s a strange moment when Americans relate less to the tall, handsome, rich prince of a famous political family than to a skinny black dude of mixed parentage who spent a lot of time in Indonesia."

--Maureen Dowd, from her column in Sunday's New York Times (link below) "Cruel Conservatives Throw a Masquerade Ball"

How to be irrelevant--and demeaning to women, even if you're Liberal and work for The New York Times

Write a column in The New York Times op/ed page declaring that the First Lady, Michelle Obama, needs to cover up her arms in her daily, public attire.

No one would do such a thing?

Rush Limbaugh is that stupid and irresponsible.

But he didn't. No way.

Newt Gingrich?

Nope.

Michelle Malkin?

That would have made sense.

But no, not her, either.

Not a male.

Not a Conservative.

Who would do such a thing?

Maureen Dowd.

The world is going to heck, financially and economically--as I said in a letter to the Times today--Rome is burning and Maureen Dowd--a woman--writes that another woman should wear different clothes, for pity's sake.

She should be way above and beyond this.
