“The New One is the shimmering vessel that we are pouring all our hopes and dreams into after the grave disappointment of the Last One, Barack Obama.”

– That would be (and I know this will shock you) Maureen Dowd declaring her love of Scott Brown before tapping him as the 2012 president-elect. She continues:

The only question left is: Why isn’t Scott Brown delivering the State of the Union? He’s the Epic One we want to hear from. All that inexperience can really be put to good use here.

Obama’s Oneness has been one-upped. Why settle for a faux populist when we can have a real one? Why settle for gloomy populism when we can have sunny populism? Why settle for Ivy League cool when we can have Cosmo hot? Why settle for a professor who favors banks, pharmaceutical companies and profligate Democrats when we can have an Everyman who favors banks, pharmaceutical companies and profligate Republicans? Why settle for a 48-year-old, 6-foot-1, organic arugula when we can have a 50-year-old, 6-foot-2, double waffle with bacon?

Why settle for a smart analysis when we can just behold Modo adding another scalp to her long list of political pretty boy columns?!

Why pay any attention to her at all?I get really tired of journalists and pundits who use wording and semantics that ooze a feeling of superiority over the reader or listener.Dowd thinks she is smarter than you.she thinks she is more intellectual and enlightened.Ultimately she takes up space that could be better used.If she was a lesbian she’d be Rachel Maddow’s dream date.She probably contributes significantly to some maker of hair products and dyes.Other than that she has no real value.

Would someone please just step up to the plate and have sex with Maureen Dowd?

I mean, as long as she’s on the NYT payroll, her columns will just get worse and worse. Maybe a few good lays will bring finally provoke some honest and real journalism instead of snarky venom. I know it’s a crappy job but Michael Douglas and Aaron Sorkin gave it a shot at one time. I might take one for the team if I weren’t married.

Ms. Dowdy may be Madcow’s dream date regardless of her sexual orientation–anyone can fantacize, I guess.
