Now Maureen Dowd (R-Chattering Head) is concerned about lack of experience and nepotism. Where was she when George Bush ran for president? Does she really think that a man of his failings would have made it in Texas and national politics if his name was Smith?
I switched to the Chris Mathews Show when the Andy Reid show went to commercials. His usual roster of pandering shills, Noron O'Donnel, Lizzy Bummiller, Clarence Page, and Lil' Davey Brooks were telling each other how Hillary couldn't be trusted and how it was reflected in the Iowa polls. She's at 15% compared to Barak Obama's 30%. Talk about self reinforcing. These "journalists" are out there 24/7 telling America Hillary is an untrustworthy calculating shrew then pat themselves on the back when people believe their screed.

Obama said. "If you don't understand these cultures, then it's very hard for you to make good foreign policy decisions. Foreign policy is all about judgment."

Asked by Charles Gibson about Obama's offer to meet without preconditions with leaders of Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea, W. declared it "odd foreign policy."
Hillary brazenly borrowed Republican talking points "With all due respect," she told a crowd in Iowa. "I don't think living in a foreign country between the ages of 6 and 10 is foreign policy experience."

Foreign policy experience or knowledge? Bush didn't know who the leader of Pakistan was!
Does anyone else consider Dowd anything other than a inside-the-Beltway court jester?

As one wag said, Dowd, Parker, Broder, Joke Line, Kraphammer, and etc exist to provide filler between the ads on newspaper pages.

Okay,
I'll bite; can anyone give me three accomplishments that qualifies Hillary for the position of President?

Yep, ALL successful politicians tell you what you want to hear depending on the direction of the wind.
That is successful politicians. Those that "tell-it-like-it-is" usually fail.

She's not even Rubenesque - just another pig in a pants suit - unaffectionately referred to as PIAPS for short.

I think you meant cleaning out the White House during their (the Clinton's) departure.

And exactly what expierence does Bush have?
The only accomplishments he has in his protfolio besides running oil exploration companies into the ground are allowing 911 to happen and letting people in New orleans die because he turned FEMA over to a crony.
