Led by a "girlish" 61-year oldFrom Eric Dondero:
Maureen Dowd's latest column sums up liberal elitist cry-babbyism, as the Republican Party, emboldened by the Tea Party, stands to win its biggest electoral victories in over 110 years.
From Dowd's latest NY Times column, which focuses mainly on Sharron Angle, "Playing All the Angles" Oct. 16:
We are in the era of Republican Mean Girls, grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and, just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant.
These women — Jan, Meg, Carly, Sharron, Linda, Michele, Queen Bee Sarah and sweet wannabe Christine — have co-opted and ratcheted up the disgust with the status quo that originally buoyed Barack Obama. Whether they’re mistreating the help or belittling the president’s manhood, making snide comments about a rival’s hair or ripping an opponent for spending money on a men’s fashion show, the Mean Girls have replaced Hope with Spite and Cool with Cold. They are the ideal nihilistic cheerleaders for an angry electorate.
Casino red suit and lipstickDowd goes on to cry a river about how she and the NY Times just can't seem to land an interview with Angle. Continuing:
[At the debate] the former teacher and assemblywoman began hurling cafeteria insults. “I live in a middle-class neighborhood in Reno, Nevada,” she said. “Senator Reid lives in the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C.”Note to Ms. Dowd: We here at Libertarian Republican had no problem getting a full half-hour interview with Sharron Angle two days after she won her primary for our radio show "Libertarian Politics Live." Call me. I'd be glad to give you a few pointers.
With casino red suit and lipstick... smiling beneath her girlish bangs... the wacky new-breed Tea Party challenger who’s hiding from and hating on the press, spouting a lot of weird stuff and vowing to do what Barack Obama didn’t: Shake up Washington... After the debate was over, Angle scurried away and so did I. If she saw me, she might take away my health insurance and spray-paint my locker.

6 Bloviations:
As Eric has indirectly pointed out, Angle is not "hiding from and hating on the press", rather she's acknowledging market forces in the press. She's discriminating: There is nothing the New York Times can do for her, so why bother, when people such as Eric at LR can have the scoop?
The '08 Couric "interview" with Palin was signal. Since then, a sharp candidate knows to go where people will bother to listen. More, people are going where the interviews are... which isn't the New York Times.
Note to Dowd: It's the Market, sweetie.
Pree-cisely Ran! Libertarian Republican offered Sharron a chance to reach an audience that was a little skeptical of her after her primary win, i.e. her perceived anti-beer remarks from a few years ago. And she succeeded in winning us over.
The NY Times offered her absolutely nothing except disdain and snarkism.
The real Mean girls are Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell.
Maureen Dowd is first and foremost an incredibly shitty writer. She hasn't had an original idea in 30 years. Just like loaf o'. The only reason she has a job is because she's such a hyper-partisan asshole. There is no depth of democrat scumbaggery she won't defend.
It is all a matter of translation. When a liberal cries racism, it means the terd they are supporting is not supportable and is a minority to boot. If they cry environment, they mean to support a group who will rape Gaia as they believe she really actually wants and needs, and hard. If they cry mean girl, or mean anyone, it means those people who tell it like it really is.
My last (happened to be very liberal) squeeze called me Darth Vader until she realized she was on 'his' side (somehow), which left her... with a dilemma. They have the logic of a blind dumb rat in a trap of their own creation. Best not to go there, but if you do, understand how they misuse words and start figuring out their vocabulary. Sort of fun on weekends. And when you have it tabulated, you can start them up one cylinder at a time, until their engine is roaring... to nowhere.
Poor loaf o'. Such mean girls. Still dating its goat. (Perhaps if the girls weren't so mean, loaf o' wouldn't be so grumpy?)
