Governor Palin Deflates Maureen 'O'Dowd's' Ego

For those who missed it, increasingly irrelevant NY Times "columnist" (I'm being charitable) Maureen Dowd let loose with a particularly incoherent screed on Sunday. I realize that equating Dowd's columns with the adjective "incoherence" is not exactly news, but this latest rant was notably fatuous even by Dowd's already low standards. Basically she tried to make the case that the slew of strong, conservative women running for office in 2010, led by "Queen Bee Sarah", are nothing more than a bunch of mean high school cheerleaders or something who would gladly steal your boyfriend, pee in your corn flakes, burn your house down, or whatever. I won't try to summarize it further but, if you're interested, Dana Perino and Kyle-Anne Shiver both did an excellent job of methodically taking apart Dowd's childish tirade.The audience Dowd writes for is her fellow Manhattan liberals who have equally empty lives and seek fulfillment by ridiculing those who actually have lives. For people like Dowd, who possess a breathtakingly misplaced sense of self-importance despite all evidence to the contrary, nothing is more important than maintaining the narrative that they are in fact important; that they matter and that others think they matter.One of Governor Palin's greatest gifts is her innate ability to effortlessly mock the self-anointed elites in society. This afternon's tweet ridiculing a desperately spinning Gwen Ifill is another example. This inimitable ability to expose the ignorance of liberal elitists, most of whom have never met her, may be one of the reasons they so despise her. After yesterday's speech in Reno, Governor Palin was interviewed by Fox News. In the interview, she cheerily punctured the self-important view Dowd has of herself, via CNN (emphasis mine).Sarah Palin is shrugging off a recent column from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd - or rather Maureen ?O?Dowd? - in which Dowd called Palin the ?queen bee? of mean girls."That's so funny, because I don't think I've ever met that gal, Maureen Dowd - O'Dowd - whatever the heck her name is,? said a laughing Palin Monday in an interview with Fox News.Boom! I can almost hear the rush of hot gas escaping the giant hot air balloon that is Dowd's overinflated ego: Palin doesn't know my name? But, but, but, I'm important. Really I am! I write for the New York Times!Governor Palin brushed off the vapid Dowd's mindless musings like a mama grizzly brushes off a tiny leaf that landed on her back. Yes, Mo, people who actually are important and don't have to keep reminding themselves (and others) of that fact have lives and couldn't be bothered with your inane ruminations. Nor do they need to concern themselves with learning the names of has-been pundits who write for has-been publications.Update: Hilarious. Dowd responds by claiming this is Governor Palin's fault because she left her off the campaign bus in 2008. Not only did that meanie Sarah Palin steal my boyfriend, but she wouldn't let me sit with her on the bus. Oh, the indignity of it all!
