Mo Dowd's Column on Bernie is 2nd Highest Trending

[NJCher]

at the NY Times site.

It's a look at how frustrating it is for HC that she can't "put away" Bernie. Has some factual errors, such as referring to the chair throwing. Shows you how shallow these columnists are--they can't even put the time in to finding if something is true or not. And where are the NY Times fact checkers?

Anyway, there are a few funny lines, such as "Hillary’s Bataan Death March is making Republicans reconsider their own suicide mission with Trump.

1. I hope many people direct her to Snopes

and suggest a retraction to her Nevada lies.

2. it shows how weak of a candidate she really is. nt

3. from the column

Hillary says Sanders needs to “do his part” to unify the party, as she did in 2008. But even on the day of the last primaries in that race, when she was the one who was mathematically eliminated unless the superdelegates turned, she came onstage to Terry McAuliffe heralding her as “the next president of the United States.” She then touted having more votes than any primary candidate in history as her fans cheered “Yes, she will!” and “Denver!”

5. the irony is almost too much

What was good for the goose is not good for the gander.

4. Haven't read dowd in years.

Aside from her obnoxious attitude, she's not good with facts, as you've noted.

7. When I hear "Maureen Dowd" I always think about

Nicolette DuClare's opinion of Stanton Dowd in the game Deus Ex.
Classic gaming....

The comparison fits so skintight that the coincidence in name makes me laugh.

8. I think of someopne dumbe enough to eat a candy bar with 100 mg of THC n/t

9. I actually did something like that, once.

I can be dumb as a brick.

I didn't realize how superconcentrated cannabutter could be, when the large leaves of 3 plants are boiled down into a concentrate contained in 1/2 lb of cannabutter. I spread a thin coat on a cracker and ate it. I OD'ed. This was psychedelic beyond anything I'd ever imagined possible with weed and it scared me because it left me totally out of control - I'll never do that again!

Physically I couldn't even crawl anymore, I was so into the zone.

I don't think of anything like that when I think about Maureen Dowd.
She's just a paid political propagandist for the MSM.

6. They don't put the time in to appraise the truth because they're propagandists.

They're extremely well paid. Overpaid, in terms of production except in the sickest sense, IMO.

They aren't "journalists", and the "journalists" like Ralston get away with flat out lies because it furthers their employer's interests.

It's much easier for them to just ignore into nonexistence any opposition to their employer's politics, since their employers own the press that gives them voice.

Then, the truth doesn't matter. "Liberal television hosts" like Rachel Maddow make $7 million a year, I hear, for earnestly pontificating about politics and interviewing "liberal pundits" like E. J. Dione of the NYT and Eugene Robinson of the W. Post, and so on through a roster of paid political propagandists. Rarely, if ever, a let up. And we lap it up, just as others lap up Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh.
