Maureen Dowd - will you marry me?

Aside from the fact that she is oh so hot and I am gay, I would consider it just because she is so funny and intelligent.

From “A Come-to-Daddy Moment” 11/10/06 NYT

Poppy Bush and James Baker gave Sonny the presidency to play with and he broke it. So now they’re taking it back.

Mr. Gates, already on Mr. Baker’s “How Do We Get Sonny Out of Deep Doo Doo in Iraq?” study group, left his job protecting 41’s papers at Texas A&M to return to Washington and pry the fingers of Poppy’s old nemesis, Rummy, off the Pentagon.

Here is the rest of the article.

And today she said:

The new Democratic sweep conjures up an ancient image: Furies swooping down to punish bullies.

Angry winged goddesses with dog heads, serpent hair and blood eyes, unmoved by tears, prayer, sacrifice or nasty campaign ads, avenging offenses by insolent transgressors

AND

All the conservative sneering about a fem-lib from San Francisco who was measuring the drapes for the speaker’s office didn’t work. Americans wanted new drapes, and an Armani granny with a whip in charge.

The Drapes of Wrath.

Plus, she really is sexy and smart too…

No, she won’t. I’m married to an Irish redhead, and know 5 others. They’re all very special, clever, intelligent, lusty women. The problem with your petition is the gay vs. lustly thing (being discreeet here).

But that’s a very funny column, I agree.

Even at 54, Dowd is damned sexy. I like her idea of a matriarchy. As an insensitive, self destructive, arrogant male, I wonder if perhaps I have been poisoned by my own testosterone. Point me to the temple of Hera. I want to worship at her feet. Especially if it makes a favorable impression on Dowd.

You can have her. I say dibs on Thomas Friedman!

I suppose he is handsome in a distinguised way and definitely quite intelligent, but he has never made me laugh like she has.
