‘Mean Girl’ Sarah Palin Responds: ‘I Don’t Think I’ve Met That Gal, Maureen O’Dowd’

» 54 comments

During a short interview on Fox News yesterday from one of her Tea Party Express stops Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was asked how she felt about Maureen Dowd calling her Queen Bee of the mean girls in her column over the weekend. Said Palin:

That’s so funny, because I don’t think I’ve met that gal, Maureen Dowd, O’Dowd, whatever the heck her name is. I don’t think I’ve met her and she’s probably never met Jan Brewer, or these other wonderful, gracious, nice, hard-working Mama Grizzlies who are wanting to turn this country around.

Probably not. But if they ever do meet someone should sell tickets. Moreover, it’s a shame that Palin doesn’t read MoDo, if she did she would know that Dowd calling other women ‘mean girls’ after the kind of coverage she piled on Clinton and Obama during the 2008 campaign is, to put it mildly, the pot calling the kettle black.

Meanwhile, Palin has a number of people up in arms because in the same interview she seemed to suggest that if the Republicans weren’t careful there could be a third party on the 2012 Presidential election horizon.

What I want to encourage Tea Party America about is to keep the faith. You know they’ve been slandered, they’ve been lied about by mainstream media calling them racist, calling them fear mongers….and none of that is true… Some in the GOP, it’s their last shot, it’s their last chance. We will lose faith, and we will be disappointed and disenchanted from them if they start straying from the bedrock principles. … If they start straying, then why not a 3rd party?

This is not, by the way, the first time Palin has hinted at a third party. She did so last December telling radio host Lars Larson that “if the Republican party gets back to that [conservative] base, I think our party is going to be stronger and there’s not going to be a need for a third party, but I’ll play that by ear in these coming months, coming years.” Of course, it is utterly unlikely Palin is going to start a third party — or for that matter do anything that would require her to take any sort of civic responsibility — but threatening to do so every once in a while is certainly a genius way to keep a scattered GOP in line.

    I think it is terribly arrogant of Ms. Dowd to be articulate and reasonable in her column. The Drop Out Governor is right to attack her.

    Successful women sure do seem to piss of O’Dowd! I wonder what it would be like to be that pissed off and bitter all the time?

    Huh?Wuh? Silly rabbit, Palin attacked? “I don’t think I’ve met her” is an attack? Wow, skin is getting so thin we can see the grilled armadillo making it’s way into the small bowel……

    “do anything that would require her to take any sort of civic responsibility”

    Her “civic responsibility” is to oppose the Obama-Reid-Pelosi socialist agenda. Over the past year she as done that admirably.

    BTW, her putdown of Maureen Dowd was very clever. My favorite line was “may we always be happy and may our enemies know it”.

    Kumquat: Ms. O’Dowd is not what we might call a woman of the people, but, unlike the Drop Out Governor, she makes no pretense she is. However, she is anything but pissed off and bitter. She has a remarkable, witty, dry sense of humor that tends to go over the heads of people unable to complete the Crossword Puzzle in her paper.

    Kumquat, my response to this is included in my response to your earlier post, supra.

  • writer

    But you, Robert, are a man of the people. As long as they don’t live in certain dwellings, or shop at certain stores, or eat certain foods, or…..well, the list is pretty lengthy.

    Hey King, you be sure and stow all sharp objects in a safe place on 11/2. :)

    That’s true, King. On your video, you don’t look like you could even afford to be homeless.

    Palin hints at a third party because the fiscal irresponsibility is on BOTH side of the isle. She’s not hinting, she’s stating a fact. If the republicans take control and don’t spend wisely, they’re out in the next election too.
    Maureen Dowd is over-rated and is just a bitter human being. I’m sure she has some valid thoughts, but it’s hard to see through the bitterness.

    As to Palin, it’s unfair to say of Palin “or for that matter do anything that would require her to take any sort of civic responsibility”. Such judgement!

    Gilligan, the Skipper, Too, A Millionaire and His Wife, A Movie Star, the Professor and MaryAnn were stranded on an isle. The space dividing the House of Representatives is an aisle.

    I do have to say Ms. Dowd is correct. The Drop Out Governor is as mindful of civic responsibility as she is her children. In other words, not at all. Such self-absorption as we see with the Drop Out Governor has no outreach.

    I was thinking about getting a Royal King mask and sitting by an empty guitar case in front of the liquor store. But then I ‘spose folks would wonder how I could be at two liquor stores at the same time.

  • NORBIT

    This is so non-sensical to rehash facts that have documented over & over again…There is a clear DOUBLE-STANDARD and LIBERAL BIAS in the Mainstream Media!

    It had gone virtually unchallenged until the emergence of talk radio, then FOX and Internet sites.

    We can’t be held responsible for progressives’ inability to assimmilate and process that information!!

    Really, Kumquat, posting under multiple names is one manner. We are all sympathetic to the pathological need for attention some people have. However, responding under one of your names to a post by another of your names does seem to cross the line a bit.

  • writer

    I wonder why the King gets so offended when anyone knocks Robert Stephenson? He’s never heard of him.

    Actually, I was referring to you and you, Kumquat. I merely find the Stephenson matter puerile on your part.

    I have been trying to figure out why calling someone Kumquat is an insult? You need to see a doctor, Robert. They have doctors in Austin, I think? Maybe with Obamacare they have all left town.

    Your ignorant nicknames for people make no sense? You are a washed up divorce lawyer, we should call you Ambulance Chaser RRK. That makes sense.

    As for the above story. Glynnis is the comic relief.

  • writer

    Yeah, King. But it is a shame you don’t know Robert. He’s arrogant and hateful towards anyone who doesn’t see things from his extreme far left viewpoint. You guys would be great friends. Coincidentally, he also lives in Austin. You should look him up.

    Ted used the ‘Kumquat’ term first. But since Ted is another of the King’s names, there ya go.

    Palin is again demonstrating her ignorance. She obviously took no clue from the Couric interview. Dowd is a well-written, well-spoken, well-read and thoughtful columnist for the NY Times.
    Dowd and the newspaper she works for asset to our democracy. Without the NY Times and other great newspapers the rich, the poiticos and powerfu would be rolling over the litlle guy.

    Why is stupidity becoming chic?

    These fans of Pain’s are mostly misguided, old racist white folk, who not unlike Brett Favre, are going crazy as their control of events continues to slide.

    What Sarah is doing by raising the specter of a 3rd party is sending a strong message to the GOP elite to either heed the will of the people or perish.

    I call dibbs on the term Pomegranate, as a somewhat confusing possibly derogatory term.

    That’s kind hard to spell though, maybe Zucchini is better? Can we get a vote on that?

  • Sue

    Two simple things: If anyone wants to see what “mean” and “hate” actually look like, look at MoDo’s picture. And, if the RINO’s blow it, we’ll be watching, and we’ll have to do the best we can to get them out in 2012. The Tea Party groups, in the thousands and by various names, across the USA, will be watching closing and making plans to take them out. It might be easier to just take over the RINO party, but, I for one, would want to start fresh without the filth attached to the Democrats or Republicans!!

    Mo Dowd has had a complete bitch on since Michael Douglas dumped her for Catherine Zeta Jones and she began going thru menopause.She may also be surrering from the vapors. Poor thing.

    Thank God for the comedy relief that Glynnis MacNicol provides. She should be sitting between Behar&Goldburg.

    I wouldn’t call Dowd a lush but on a recent blood test she hit about 80 proof. I think she used to drink Bombay Sapphire back in the good ol’ days (when she still had a shred of credibility) but now I think Old Mr. Boston is her brand of choice.

    I think you might be correct. -0bama did not “win” the White House, Mr. McCain “lost” it. There is simply no clear difference between the RINOs and the Democrats.
