Sarah’s Secret Diary
By MAUREEN DOWD


No one understands me. It’s like I’m speaking some Eskimo dialect or something. Andrea Mitchell follows me all the way to Kanakanak Beach and I get a French manicure and set up this huge photo op for her, even though she spooked the salmon.

Todd and me are in our cool fishing bibs. Piper’s helping out on the boat. It’s an amazing day that shows how our Creator favored my beloved Alaska, gatekeeper of the continent, and makes a great shot for all the network reporters up here to milk. This progresses me away from my image as some kind of flaky “rogue diva” and back to my image as a tough huntin’ and fishin’ gal.

But Andrea makes such a darn big deal about how I’m quitting in the middle of my term.

“You’re not listening to me!” I snap.

She says maybe I didn’t want to go back to the nitty-gritty of Alaska politics after the bright lights of the national campaign.

“The nitty-gritty, like, you mean, the fish slime and the dirt under the fingernails and stuff that’s me?” I said. Awesome response, huh?!!

It’s the same old double standard. I am not one of those who would whine and cuss. It’s just not how I’m wired!!! But the minute I start to whine and cuss, the mainstream media totally misunderstands my verbiage and the combination of things that brought me to this place of knowing. And I know that I know that I know those crappy bloggers will put out more confliction stories.

1. Ha ha ha, oh wow

Brilliant. (Assuming, of course, that Dowd didn't find Palin's actual diary and plagiarize it.)

[Orsino]

2. Dowd has achieved the impossible...

...by trivializing Sarah Palin.

Dowd is weeks or months late, as usual, and as always has nothing substantial to add to our discourse.

4. Now Sarah's wondering how Maureen is able to read her mind like that.

[Beacool]

5. MoDo is a vicious, nasty woman.

Just because she has now chosen to eviscerate Palin does not make her any less so.

Vitriol always pours from her pores.......

6. Agreed. I would use her column as toilet paper and not much else.

She has attacked Dems over the years that never deserved it.

[Beacool]

7. I can't stand her.

To me she seems like a miserable person who enjoys dissecting other people, particularly women.

;(

[Jennicut]

8. Oh, she went after Gore as well. She likes who she likes and if

that person is not the right "personality" for her she tries to take them down. Sick person.

[Beacool]

9. Yeah, I forgot how she went after Gore too.

She's not a nice person at all.

:(

12. Your instincts were correct.

She attacks men by emasculating them.

[karynnj]

10. I can't think of anyone she consistently liked

She was horrible to Gore and Kerry, then horrible to Obama and Hillary Clinton.

11. Why Froomking was fired and Dowd continues to write is beyond my comprehension n/t

[depakid]

13. Two strike outs for MoDo

with such excellent material to work with, you almost wonder whether she's trying too hard.

[Cha]

14. Dowd has to makeup shit about

Dems and this stuff practially writes itself.

15. I can see the future.....

I ask OP if boyz have 'chew toys' as well? Is the inference that Maureen is a female dog?

And does OP see anything misogynist about this? We are, if you haven't noticed, on a 'progressive' site where without the women's vote, Obama would be back in Illinois.

When referring to Afro-Americans, do you use such phrases as 'he's got a bowl of chitlins to eat up?'

Aaaaah, now the future. "Nasty comments saying I'm comparing apples to oranges. Black men aren't women.

There is no such thing as sexism nor misogyny. You are a bitch. Go get your own chew toy."

Followed by my comments that emasculate males. Followed by my hitting the Ignore Button many, many times.

The meanness of your comments make what you say about O'Reilly and Limpballs sound like compliments.

It's deja vu all over again.
