MoDo Does BO

Lucianne Goldberg once wrote to the effect that Maureen Dowd has really good about writing about the chick stuff.   To expand, MoDo can write.   Her problem is that she all too often writes about what she does not understand.    When MoDo attempts inside the mind of say Dubya or Karl Rove, she is lost without a clue.   On the other shoe, MoDo is chick with blue collar roots.   She knows chickdom and she knows her own roots.

Barack Obama’s (BO) Disaster by the Bay, revealed two problems.   One, BO is a condescending snob, and two, BO’s analysis is all too often simply wrong.

MoDo on BO the Snob, New York Times [1]:

Maureen Dowd[Barack Obama] hasn’t pulled a John Kerry and asked for a Philly cheese steak with Swiss yet, but he has maintained a regal “What do the simple folk do to help them escape when they’re blue?” bearing, unable to even feign Main Street cred.

MoDo on BO’s characterization of suall town blue collar types who simply clinging to their religion:

Members of my clan sometimes were overly cloistered. But they weren’t bitter; they were bonding.

They went to church every Sunday because it was part of their identity, not because they needed a security blanket.

How bad can BO’s analysis get when it can not even survive scutiny by Maureen Dowd?

For the record, I concede that MoDo is better bowler than I am.    Then I do think I can roll better than a thirty-seven.
