Have you been reading Maureen Dowd's columns recently? She sounds as bitter as those rural Pennsylvanians who cling to guns and religion. Constantly swiping at Obama, saying he's naïve, a pansy, praising Hillary as a tough fighter. Her latest is kind of schizophrenic, however:

It's like she's angry at Hillary but has to spend most of the time cutting off Obama's huevos. There's something like Freudian envy going on here, but only her shrink knows for sure.

This is the guy, after all, who has just come out on top of a dozen or so grizzled veteran Democratic candidates, slayed the scheming Clintons - both of them, set up a political machine which is consolidating power and raising millions of bucks within the usually chaotic Democratic Party, and will probably flatten McCain in November, even with the all the mud flung on him.

Yet Maureen thinks he's a Butterfly because he doesn't scratch and claw. The lady's been brilliant in the recent past, but maybe she's in crisis these days. Maybe she IS Hillary.
