Democrat Senators suddenly suffering Jimmy Carter flashbacks

The hilarious admission comes from none other than Obama groupie Maureen Dowd in none other than the Obama fanzine otherwise known as the New York Times.

Don’t look now, but Democrats are resigning from the Barack Obama Fan Club en masse. The debt ceiling debacle pried open their eyes and finally allowed them to see things Republicans have been seeing for a couple years.

Peanut farmer, community organizer, what's the difference?

The hilarious admission comes from none other than Obama groupie Maureen Dowd in none other than the Obama fanzine otherwise known as the New York Times:

…Democratic lawmakers worry that the Tea Party freshmen have already “neutered” the president, as one told me. They fret that Obama is an inept negotiator. They worry that he should have been out in the country selling a concrete plan, rather than once more kowtowing to Republicans and, as with the stimulus plan, health care and Libya, leading from behind.

As one Democratic senator complained: “The president veers between talking like a peevish professor and a scolding parent.” (Not to mention a jilted lover.) Another moaned: “We are watching him turn into Jimmy Carter right before our eyes.”

Only problem is the Democrats’ tense. He’s not turning into Jimmy Carter. That transformation was completed long ago.

Maureen Dowd reveals that she was a very unpopular nerd in high school

The subject of Marueen Dowd’s column was those awful Republican women, but the column said much more about the columnist than it did about its supposed subject.

Maureen Dowd, whose high school photo still accompanies her New York Times column, went off on a very revealing rant in her Sunday column.

The subject was those awful Republican women, but the column said much more about the columnist than it did about its supposed subject.

Maureen Dowd proves there is no class in the high school class of 1970

Call us armchair psychologists if you wish, but we believe Dowd’s column titled “Republican Mean Girls” was really about the angst of her high school years:

“Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine — have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust with the status quo that originally buoyed Barack Obama,” Dowd says.

“Whether they’re mistreating the help or belittling the president’s manhood, making snide comments about a rival’s hair or ripping an opponent for spending money on a men’s fashion show, the Mean Girls have replaced Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold.”

And here’s the money line: Those Republicans women are “grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant.”

How bad were your high school years, liberal nerd girl? Why is it still so important that you were you a member of the audio-visual club, that you went to the prom with your cousin and that you never got to sit at the cool kids’ table in the cafeteria?

Oh, and one more thing: How long did that “Maureen is pregnant” rumor go on?

New York Times dumbs down Osama bin Laden’s “ultimate victory”

Just when you thought Thomas Friedman and Paul Krugman had permanently retired the New York Times’ Idiot of the Year award, along comes Maureen Dowd to say something so remarkably stupid that it puts even Friedman and Krugman to shame.

Some critics have said the ultimate victory for Osama and the 9/11 hijackers would be to allow a mosque to be built near ground zero.

Actually, the ultimate victory for Osama and the 9/11 hijackers is the moral timidity that would ban a mosque from that neighborhood.

No, Maureen, you’re wrong. Very wrong. Osama’s ultimate victory would be the subjugation of every Christian, every Jew, every Hindu, every non-Muslim. Falling short of that, his back-up goal would be to slice their throats.

The ultimate victory here at IHTM would be for Maureen Dowd to use a photo on her column that was taken in the last two decades.

New York Times columnist writes devastating, but accurate account of Obama presidency

Within a 12-hour period, Saturday Night Live did a scathing skit about his profligate spending. Chris Matthews compared him to Jimmy Carter. And to complete the trifecta, Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and queen of Inside-the-Beltway Liberals, penned a devastating review of the Obama presidency.

Is Maureen Dowd on the leading edge of liberals fleeing from Barack Obama?
Is Maureen Dowd on the leading edge of liberals fleeing from Barack Obama?

It was a bad weekend in the media for Barack Obama. A very bad weekend, indeed.

Within a 12-hour period, Saturday Night Live did a scathing skit about his profligate spending. Chris Matthews compared him to Jimmy Carter. And to complete the trifecta, Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and queen of Inside-the-Beltway Liberals, penned this devastating review of the Obama presidency:

If we could see a Reduced Shakespeare summary of Obama’s presidency so far, it would read:

Dither, dither, speech. Foreign trip, bow, reassure. Seminar, summit. Shoot a jump shot with the guys, throw out the first pitch in mom jeans. Compromise, concede, close the deal. Dither, dither, water down, news conference.

Oh, one more thing while we’re at it: Gallup confirmed that Obama’s approval rating has now dropped below 50%.

How quickly things change. Just a couple weeks ago, the liberal media was fretting that Obama was losing the independents. Now the liberal media is fretting that he’s losing the liberals.

Noah Webster becomes official White House spokesman

It seemed for one brief moment on Sunday that White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was holding out the Olive Branch from President Obama when he said on CNN, “President Obama does not think opposition to him is racially motivated, a claim made in Maureen Dowd’s Sunday column.”

It seemed for one brief moment on Sunday that White House spokesman Robert Gibbs was holding out the Olive Branch from President Obama when he said on CNN, “President Obama does not think opposition to him is racially motivated, a claim made in Maureen Dowd’s Sunday column.”

If only Gibbs had stopped there. But CNN’s John King pushed for more and asked the press secretary about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

“After playing a tape of Obama saying death panels are “a lie, plain and simple,” King asked, “Does the president believe that Sarah Palin is a liar?”

“Despite many media outlets saying that what former Governor Palin was saying wasn’t true, she continued to say it,” Gibbs responded. “I’ll let Webster define what one calls her. I think in the absence of fact… sometimes what happens is we fill the void with stuff that quite frankly isn’t true.” He said Obama helped fill that void in his speech Wednesday night.

It’s unfortunate, but not unsurprising, that King never thought to ask, “Why was the health care bill modified to remove end of life counseling if it could not be misconstrued as death panels?”

Let us fill in the void that Gibb’s answer would create “Ummmmmmmmmm.”
