Modo sowing discord? Two against one. (HRC and Mc are the two)

[GoesTo11]

“Obama should have picked you, Hillary,” John McCain tells her. “It isn’t fair, my friend. But it just makes it easier for me to whup him.”

“Don’t worry, John, I’ve put it behind me,” Hillary replies. “I’m looking toward the future now, a future that looks very bright, once we send Twig Legs back to the back bench.”

They chortle with delight.

1. I Love MoDo

That is all.

[Metric System]

2. You do?!? After the way she attacked the Clintons, Gore, Kerry and Obama (aka Obambi)?!? Really?

[MannyGoldstein]

3. Yeah, Really

(Dons flameproof suit)

All politicians need a little lampooning. MoDo's tends to be right on target.

[VolcanoJen]

18. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

You really need to read more WhiskeyFire.

4. there is some truth in the article, IMO...

"Oh, John, you know I love you and I’m happy to help,” Hillary says. “The themes you took from me are working great — painting Obama as an elitist and out-of-touch celebrity, when we’re rich celebrities, too. Turning his big rallies and pretty words into character flaws, charging him with playing the race card — that one always cracks me up. And accusing the media, especially NBC, of playing favorites. It’s easy to get the stupid press to navel-gaze; they’re so insecure.”

8. It Is Not An Article, Sir: It Is A Mere Hatchet-Job By A Professional Negativist

One of those people who preserves a grotesquely inflated sense of themselves, and can only maintain it, by continual criticism of others who are far more accomplished, and have accomplished far more, than they can even dream of.

[NYC_SKP]

12. Be that as it may, Sir, painful elements of a divisive primary are revealed.

The tactics used by the campaign representing the good senator from New York have left me bitter, and any residual effect they may have on the outcome of this election are most unfortunate.

:patriot:

[The Magistrate]

13. No, Sir, A Spin Exculpatory To McCain Is Pressed, By Someone Who Hates Sen. Clinton

And who would probably prefer to see McCain elected....

[EstimatedProphet]

27. Oh bullshit!

[paulk]

5. well, sowing discord is kind of her job

remember what she did to Gore?

everytime I read a column where she bashes Bush, I have to remind myself that she helped get him elected.

And she always follows up that Bush bash with some pile of tripe like this column you've linked to.

She is one nasty piece of work.

[LostinVA]

23. Agreed -- for years, she just thinks she's the cleverest thing

Posters who applaud her anti-Clinton screeds either forget or don't know how she's made a living out of attacking Democrats while crowing that she, too is a DEm. Whatever. At least Coulter is "honest" about her leanings and reasons.

[BlooInBloo]

6. All that needs to be known about MoDo is here....

[oasis]

19. Modo is just too "clever" for words.

:puke:

[TexasObserver]

7. she sure gives Botox a bad name

[scheming daemons]

9. What makes the column humorous is that it is based in truth....

After this year, I'll never trust a Clinton again.

[GoesTo11]

10. I'm skeptical but withholding judgment

Hopefully the Clintons will do right between now and November. If they do and Obama wins, I expect the nastiness of the primaries will just be one of those things that fades with time and we can remember their accomplishments. If they don't do right by Obama, their legacy is ruined whether they realize it or not.

[CoffeeCat]

11. No kidding...

They're so done. Problem is, they're the last to realize it.

[ruggerson]

15. What you fail to get is that she is helping McCain

all she does is try to drive a wedge between Democrats, and people like you fall for it.

[scheming daemons]

22. Or... the Clintons are driving a wedge between Democrats....

...and she is reporting it.


...and you are in denial.

[polmaven]

25. I am going

to put forth that perhaps it is you who is in denial. It is your own hatred that is driving a wedge between Democrats, and you feed off screeds like Ms. Dowd spews.

[scheming daemons]

28. The "screeds" couldn't exist without there being some reality behind them.

Bill and Hillary actions during the campaign fed the screeds.


If they acted differently, MoDo's screeds wouldn't have made it past the editor.

[LostinVA]

24. And she's been doing it for years

Her treament of Gore was sickening.

[JackORoses]

14. these grapes are so sour that the acid from them burns through metal like Alien blood

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

16. MoDo should have been moved to the Britney/Lohan desk

about two years ago. She has become a horror, a regular wicked witch of the West. Jeez what a b@#$h.

This sort of simpering bullshit is so beneath what the Times once was. But then they employ W Kristol, whose acquaintance with facts is on a par with Chimpoleon's acquaintance with the truth.

[anonymous171]

17. Shouldn't Modo be writing about John McCain's choice of tie or someting?

[bklyncowgirl]

20. Vicious but very funny. nt

[Skwmom]

21. I think there are some real nuggets of truth in that piece.

[Colobo]

26. It makes me afraid.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

29. I am no fan of MoDo. In fact, I can't stand how she treated Gore and Kerry and her "girlie men"

Alpha Male bullshit! Anyway, I think she's absolutely spot on!

I truly believe that Hillary is undermining Obama. I think she is getting her supporters to turn against Obama while she casts a vote FOR Obama. Then, she can turn around and feign ignorance, pretending to be above the fray or having no control over what her supporters do. No one will blame her for the chaos that ensues because she will PRETEND to be for Obama while secretly her supporters help her behind the scenes.

[my3boyz]

30. It should be 3 against one! She forgot Bill! Nt
