MoDo's deja vu "earth tones" - she does her hit job on Obama
Maybe it's a good thing she's behind the NYT's silly pay firewall - yes I'm one of the suckers who paid but it wasn't for her work but rather Rich, Krugman and Herbert.

She asks when he will quit "lounging around in fashion magazines and do some honest work, like running for president?" Then she goes on to talk about the Dems fielding a group of "hotties".

But then it's back to Obama who she says is "spending too much time in green rooms." She wonders if like Colin Powell his wife's fearfulness of him running for the big office will make him miss his moment.

Her final qustion is "Does Barack Obama want to be a celebrity or a man of history — or is there no longer any difference?"

Thank you NYT for making MoDo irrelevant so far - perhaps you should keep the firewall through the '08 election season. Now if there was some way to free Rich and Krugman. Can Herbert's columns still be found on the free web?

1. Rita Cosby with a better voice and fewer chins.

2. Anytime I've seen MoDo on TV she annoys me as much
as Cosby or Nancy Grace. Something about the hair and the voice and how she tries to come off as "cute".

3. Youch. I like a lot of her columns, when she's picking on fascists
for their fascism, but I don't care for picking on Democrats for their fashion.

It doesn't seem fair not to tell us when she's switching between defending American democracy as encoded in the Constitution, and rolling her mellifluously rhetorical eyes over the hopeless sameness of the two parties, embodied in an on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand look at the inauthenticities of two candidates (say, Al Gore and G.W.*) and declare it a draw.

4. Oh shut up, WHOREEN
As usual, the sleazy succubus shits on Obama just like she did all over the Clintons, Al Gore and General Clark.

Whoreen the sleazy PRE$$TITUTE will lie any lie about Democrats, yet give pass after pass to her Republican pals. She's living proof that the SCREW YORK TIMES prints ALL THE BULLSHIT THAT'S FIT TO DECEIVE instead of "All the News that's Fit to Print"!
