The world is falling apart and all MoDo can do is offer more wild-eyed Hillary conspiracy theories?

[Captain Hilts]

Really. What did Hillary Clinton do to Dowd? Cut in line for the bathroom at the Kennedy Center? Not send a 90th birthday card to Dowd's mother?

Really, what is Dowd's weird obsession with the Clintons? Is it to keep us from remembering how she slayed Al Gore and helped put GWB into the White House?

You guys have any theories?

1. Link?

[Captain Hilts]

3. Today's NYT.

She's their most read, most-forwarded columnist.

I don't want to encourage that!

[godai]

4. Here's the link

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/20/opinion/20dowd.html?_r=1&ref=todayspaper&oref=slogin

How are we supposed to comment on this, without reading the article?

2. She's a two-bit gossip columnist that the NY Times has given

space to on the OP-ed page. Why they do, I don't know. She just combines her own made up gossip with names in DC.

Waste of paper.

5. She is a pathetic little twit

6. She would fit right in at the New and Improved DU.

Somebody should invite her to join.

7. Puzzling Evidence

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x6672178

A brother of New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and local Democrats who backed her unsuccessful presidential campaign socialized privately Monday with a top surrogate of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Sen. John McCain.

The private gathering featured Carly Fiorina, Mr. McCain’s top economic adviser, and took place at the Dunmore home of political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of Mrs. Clinton’s family who has signed on as paid national director of Mr. McCain’s Citizens for McCain Coalition.

The attendees included Tony Rodham, Mrs. Clinton’s youngest sibling, his wife, Megan, and their two children; attorney Kathleen Granahan Kane, who coordinated Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign in Northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election; and Virginia McGregor, sister of Scranton Mayor Chris Doherty.

With the Democratic National Convention less than a week away, the gathering raises questions about the support Illinois Sen. Barack Obama can expect from former local supporters of Mrs. Clinton, who dominated at the polls in the Northeast in the April primary election. Mrs. Clinton won 74 percent of Lackawanna County Democrats to Mr. Obama’s 26 percent.

10. Do you control your relatives? Agree with all of them politically?

If Barack Obama fails to win support of Clinton voters, it will be because of the rampant rudeness and paranoia of his supporters, which should realistically frighten anyone. It will NOT be because of some unknown Hillary brother.

Once again, I remind you that you need to suck up, not insult.

8. An untalented hack stuck on 1999?

Willfully ignorant, and isolated from current events? Maybe she just doesn't know anything about anyone else in Washington and nobody is willing to talk to her for fear of being "Hillaried".

[Benhurst]

9. I'd give her latest effort a "C"

if she were a precocious grammar school student writing for the school paper.

As it is, a "D-" is more than charitable.

11. Maybe Dowd just expects "Democrats" to support Democrats?

Out here in the field, there's very little sign
of the rank-and-file Clinton supporters getting
on-board with the Obama program and *NO* evidence
of Clinton organizers and higher-ups helping the
rank-and-file get on-board.

For example, Jeannie Shaheen is doing her own thing
running for Senate and steering as clear of the Obama
campaign as she can manage. The same for Paul Hodes,
the 2nd CD Congressional candidate. Kathy Sullivan
(our former state party chair) is never heard from.
Frankly, I won't be the least bit surprised if New
Hampshire (which was decidedly blue in '06) turns
out to be McCain country in 2008.

12. Hillary has endorsed Barack Obama. What more do you think she should do at this pt that wouldn't

be construed as trying to steal his convention thunder?

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

[Tesha]

13. What's Bill been up to? And what has Hillary really been doing? How hard is she working...

...to convince her supporters that it's time to
get on-board Barack's bus? Like I said, here on
the ground in New Hampshire, Hillary's supporters
are still running around yapping in anger about
how they were cheated and won't be voting for
Obama.
