Oh Mo-Do, you are my kind of woman!

There is a reason I have a crush on Maureen Dowd, and it’s not just that she has ginger hair; although, truthfully, that doesn’t hurt her cause. No – it’s that she gets why I have a hard time taking in Hillary’s argument, why she has “more experience than Obama.”

If you don’t have time, I’ll simply paste a few choice quotes in this; otherwise, you can go to the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/02/opinion/02dowd.html?em&ex=1204693200&en=9695e14b2ffccd1a&ei=5087%0A

“The point can’t be that Hillary is superior to Obama in international crisis management, because she’s done no more of it than he has. She’s only done domestic crisis management, cleaning up after Frisky Bill.”

“On “Nightline” last week, Hillary once more wallowed in gender inequities, asserting that it’s harder for her to run than her opponent — a black man with an exotic name that most Americans hadn’t even heard a year ago.

“Every so often I just wish that it were a little more of an even playing field,” she said, “but, you know, I play on whatever field is out there.”

Is that how she would deal with dictators, by playing the refs and going before the U.N. to demand: “How come you’re not asking Ahmadinejad these questions first?”

Tangled in her own victimhood, she snipped to Cynthia McFadden that Obama had written in his book that “he’s a blank screen and people of widely different views project what they want to believe onto him.” She said voters were projecting their hopes onto that blank screen even though “he just hasn’t been around long enough.”

In the next breath, asked about the women who feel sorry for her, she said: “I think a lot of women project their own feelings and their lives on to me, and they see how hard this is. It’s hard. It’s hard being a woman out there.”

So projection is bad with Obama but good with her?”
