I think you're dead right to call it Dowdism. Dowd's attitude is that what she imagines is more important than what's real. Sadly, this approach has many, many fans.David in Calnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-12789953538246170332011-11-30T15:43:22.045-05:002011-11-30T15:43:22.045-05:00Well, it's a weird world.

Maher, owing it seems to palling around with Bob back in his stand up days, always rates a pass from "The Daily Howler" and Hitchens has gone basically unmentioned since his glory days in The Impeachment. <br /> Dowd is also treated with kid gloves by Charlie Rose, and one of the main points of David Denby's "Snark" was the tragic decline of Dowd's great talent. Possibly relevant point: the daily scribes of old used to publish collections of their work that hit the bookstores every few years. Although they all seem to cob out SOME kind of book, you don't see this so much anymore. A retrospective of Dowd over the 9-11 period, when She used her post mostly to beat up on an out of office Al Gore, would be really interesting to see. Same goes for LA's king of bad writing and "get Clinton" swill, Marc Cooper.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288008924419574934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-75951566374535016512011-11-30T13:37:05.321-05:002011-11-30T13:37:05.321-05:00Good post Bob.
What bull crap indeed!
Anonymous,...Good post Bob.<br /><br />What bull crap indeed!<br /><br />Anonymous, stop it. You're killing me. <br /><br />What personality traits would you like to know?<br /><br />For me, the only personality traits I care abut are those that affect Romney's role in our government. Specifically, will he stand up to the fascists that run this country or will he be a willing servant?<br /><br />I have engaged in enough armchair psychoanalysis to know the answer to that questions. Romney is the same willing fascist that Barack Obama is and I don't need a NY Times cub reporter to spin a Dowdy tale for me to figure that out.<br /><br />But of course the NY Times won't go there. Hell, the NY Times would exhibit the same sociopath personality traits if it was on the couch itself.<br /><br />We have multiple examples of the NY Times making similar decisions as Obama and Romney. For instance, when they hid the vast lawless eavesdropping our government was engaging in--just as the politicians like Obama and Romney did. <br /><br />As soon as the NY Times asks what makes politicians like Obama tick so that he can kill tens of thousands of people in the name of his fascist masters, then I will start finding this psycho babble crap interesting.<br /><br />As is, it's the mental masturbation of the next generation of sycophants, i.e. Ashly Parker. <br /><br />She's a servant of power and nothing but a propagandist.Walter Wit Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-2728271654050191332011-11-30T10:34:29.778-05:002011-11-30T10:34:29.778-05:00I may be sticking my head in the lion's den he...I may be sticking my head in the lion's den here, but I for one, would like to get a better sense of who Mitt Romney is. He may be the most closed off candidate ever. He never seems to give interviews, we know virtually nothing about him personally, and little about his past. I think this spate of Romney hair stories, trivial as they are individually, reflects this sense of remoteness, the press feels, perhaps unconsciously, about Romney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
