Girl Talk at Trump Tower

[DonViejo]

Maureen Dowd: “Every minute of every day, Trump debunks that old ‘science’ when he shows that the gossipy, backbiting, scolding, mercurial, overly emotional, shrewish, menopausal one in this race is not the woman.”

“Trump is surrounded by a bitchy sewing circle of overweight men who are overwrought at the prospect of a distaff Clinton presidency.”

“Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie, Roger Ailes and Rudy Giuliani are the Really Desperate Housewives of Trumpworld. They are so shrill that Trump sometimes needs to remind them that he’s the Queen Bee.”

1. A MoDo

"stopped clock" moment - which is about all that she's good for on the whole.

[DinahMoeHum]

2. Well hell, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn. . .

. . .every once in a while.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. For all her panic over her colorado weed brownie freakout episode

Maybe it stimulated some creativity in her synapses.

[KittyWampus]

18. shifting with the winds, Dowd directs her Mean-Girl Screed O'the Day at Trump...

She'll be back to Hillary shortly.

And I'm sure she has several nasty half-done slams at Bill Clinton already in the drawer.

3. Ok, I've had serious problems with Maureen Dowd in the past

but with that takedown of Trump, I might forget all of it.

10. Really!

[whathehell]

17. My sentiments exactly.!

Hilarious and true! :

[malchickiwick]

5. Proving Cannabis Efficacious

That yummy Colorado brownie helped transform a has-been hack into a Swiftian satirist. Go Pot!!

[Coyotl]

6. Of course, there is a cartoon precisely matching her rant:

Meanwhile, back in the locker room at Trump Tower

9. Yup, and the toon gets the message across without insulting women.

Unlike Dowd's "Trump is being just like a woman" rant.

[spooky3]

14. Agree

[spooky3]

13. Perfect!!!

7. There was a little girl

who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead;
and when she was good
she was very very good
and when she was bad
she was horrid.

An old rhyme from my childhood that describes MODO to a "T"

[rumdude]

22. "Horrid" really jars there

Nice lyric.

[lillypaddle]

23. Thanks!

One of my old favorites.

[SunSeeker]

8. I've never been a big fan of calling someone a woman as an insult.

The adolescent, bullying, sexist behaviors of Trump and his corpulent crew are not akin to women or "girls." Such a comparison insults women.

[Demsrule86]

15. But Trump will find it insufferable which is the point.

She gored him with his own bigotry against women...and called him fat...we all know how he feels about fat.

[IronLionZion]

11. Trump might be menopausal. Make him prove he's not.

Where are his documents? The long version?

[Brickbat]

12. Trump's attributes are obnoxious because they are obnoxious, not female.

[spooky3]

16. +1 Dowd's points would have been just as clear

and less sexist if she had referred appropriately to "stereotypes" rather than imply that certain beliefs about women were correct, but in this one instance, equally true of a few men.

[KittyWampus]

19. Dowd is forever reliving her school days as "Mean Girl". She'll always want to fit in

with the popular guys.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. I dunno, I rather like the way this turns the sexist talk back on them.

More likely to chafe a misogynist's butt.


wrt Maureen Dowd...I haven't read much of her. Just the occasional snip like this.

[Coyotl]

21. What's worse, Trump or the sexism this rant exudes?
