by Damozel | First, before reading this, please see our sister blog's round-up of some of the praise from Democrats and others, including quite a number of Hillary haters, who saw her performance at the convention as a true high spot.
So naturally, Dowd tears into Hillary. Was there any hope that she'd do otherwise? I think Lance Mannion pretty much nailed down the psychological dynamics. Molly Ivors had a further suggestion concerning MoDo's motives that I'm open to entertaining. But first, let's get this over with:
High Anxiety in the Mile High City
SHORTER MAUREEN DOWD: Latest Installment from "Campaign Trail Fan Fic for Mean Girls": In my imaginary world where my readers aren't all people who read my column only to mock it, and can't see through to my transparent envy and bile, Hillary Clinton was transparently raising her middle finger to Obama, who everyone knows she secretly hates, and secretly signalling her Obama-hatin' followers that it is still all about her, her orange pantsuit, and Bill.
Not enough shut up in all the whole world. Not enough. Not enough. Not enough.... NoMoDo!
For what really happened, see Joan Walsh at Salon.
