CRUSHING THE BUTTERFLY….I generally try not to read Maureen Dowd’s columns because, you know, they just don’t pay me enough for that kind of hazard duty. But today’s column about Hillary Clinton was a train wreck of epic proportions. I couldn’t avert my eyes. Here’s the final sentence:
As she makes a last frenzied and likely futile attempt to crush the butterfly [i.e., Barack Obama], it’s as though she’s crushing the remnants of her own girlish innocence.
This would be embarrassing coming from a 12-year-old. Shouldn’t Dowd have an obscure blog, not a biweekly column in the greatest newspaper in the world?
