Yeah, and it’s not like anyone would complain if the Prez took time off from cleaning up the gulf oil singlehandedly to have a press party.

Can you imagine the cloud of flying PUMA-shit if Obama held a theme-party to schmooze the press?

If he’s “nice,” he gets shit. If he’s stern, he gets shit. If he’s accessible, he’s weak. If he’s diffident, he’s a narcissistic psycho.

He’s Black. He’s a Democrat. And he’s not Hillary. The end (as J4H would say). Nothing else matters.

I’m surprised he has the force of will to wake up every morning and try to run this whiny kindergarten of a country.

Truthfully Strange that is one of my greatest fears, that he’s finally going to say “fuck this shit, I’m outta here” and then the MoDo’s of this world would GET to have Biden as prez.  Fortunately I think Barack is a grown-up and will not pull a Palin but it does worry me some. ;-)

Truly, I would love it if the prez would go on the tee vee and say “America, I’ve heard you and here’s what I have to say: Grow the Fuck Up or Shut the Fuck Up.”

His failure to do so will, of course, only serve as proof of his perfidy.

Dr. Somerby. Paging Dr. Somerby.

Grow the Fuck Up or Shut the Fuck Up

In padded shoulders and Hammer-pants, wearing wraparounds.

The thing with Dowd is she’s just talented enough that an editor can fool themselves that they’re printing something worthwhile. All while avoiding any intelligent thought.

In a strange way—that’s an accomplishment.  Then again, so is serial killing.

John, I’m totally stealing that serial killer line.

Hey, go ahead.  I say these things hoping they stick in people’s heads.

I love you all. Best commenters/comments ever.

I had to have my jaw surgically closed after reading Maureen Dowd’s column this morning. Was she talking about the same President, the one who, as @marindenver pointed out, has given one-on-one interviews (numerous times) to everyone but her? And for the record, MoDo wasn’t too happy with Bill Clinton either, even though he was happy to give her an “exclusive” from his lap.

I’m totally with @StrangeAppar8tus re “If he’s “nice,” he gets shit. If he’s stern, he gets shit. If he’s accessible, he’s weak. If he’s diffident, he’s a narcissistic psycho.”

What do Dowd and the rest of the supposedly Liberal MSM want, for Pete’s Sake? Do they think that a President Romney or Bachmann is going to invite her to their cozy little tea parties?

Sigh.

The only person happy about all this is probably Jimmy Carter.

Grow the Fuck Up or Shut the Fuck Up

Nah.  Wearing swim trunks as he heads off to the land of his birth Hawaii for a much-needed vacay.

By the way, Dorothy Rabinowitz, in the WSJ, calls Obama an “alien in the White House.”  Is that better than being called Nixon?

I’ve checked out of all this drama queen BS to watch the Tonys.

Wait—what?

but the picnic was on the record, and good reporters can’t be co-opted by some cold French fries.

Yes but we’re talking about MoDo here.

C’mon, Barack, don’t be contemptuous of Modo; toss her a ketchup packet, for God’s sake!

She’s the Baby Jane Hudson of pundits: the world’s oldest teenage girl with Daddy issues.

Allan—egg-zactly!
