"... and his bald spot was frosted with the dew. 'Poor thing,' she cried, 'I’ll take you in, and I’ll take care of you.'/'Take me in, oh tender woman. Take me in, for Heaven’s sake. Take me in, oh tender woman,' sighed the vicious snake. She wrapped him up all cozy, tucking in his absurdly long tie of silk, and laid him by her fireside with two Big Macs, two Filet-O-Fish, and a chocolate shake of milk. She hurried home that night from holding up a torch on Liberty Island, and soon as she arrived, she found that the freaky snake, transfixed by his own image on TV, had been revived...."
Maureen Dowd strikes venomously at Donald Trump, who did that damned "Snake" poem again the other day, at CPAC.
Here, I cued up Trump's "Snake" performance for you. As I said yesterday, live-blogging my reading of the speech, "Oh, no, he's going to do the snake! There's a big lead up, then the entire performance":

Trump is rent free in Dowd's head.
Not a workable business model for real estate venturer. But maybe she will be mugged by reality.
And recognize it when happens.
I hadn't heard the snake. Great Trump.
Our president speaks the truth, about snakes and women.
Terrible audio on that speech, as though the mic was on the other side of the room.
"PBS is a publicly funded American broadcaster" - still?
Has Dowd done a snake with Harvey Weinstein that classy New Yorkers took to their bosom?
Snake is pretty apt for immigration but not for Trump. A sense of allegory not working would benefit Dowd.
When I was young I overheard my mother tell the joke about the frozen bird that gets dumped on by the cow.
She was telling it because she thought it was funny, probably drunk.
That kind of thinking was what passed for wisdom in her family.
Audio: room echo is okay in stereo but not monaural.
This media TDS is so, so fucking tiresome and stale. Russia, too.
Maureen--You go, girl!
If only they had made you editor of your high school newspaper, you wouldn't be so unhappy. That's when it all started to go wrong.
Trump's repeated recitation of The Snake was one of the greatest campaign mantras of all time.
MoDo goes through snakes like crazy.
God knows what she does to them.
Rikki-Tiki-Tavi Visits the World's Largest Ball of Snakes.
Poor Maureen, she still can't get laid by any A-List male, been tryin' her entire post teen life.
Sound and fury, signifying nothing told by an idiot

Dowd got laid by Michael Douglas I think.
"Maureen Dowd strikes venomously at Donald Trump" Huh? A witless pinprick, lame even by MoDo standards.
If only they had made you editor of your high school newspaper, you wouldn't be so unhappy. That's when it all started to go wrong.
That's probably why she still uses her high school annual photo with her byline.
Hah - spinster Mo Dowd is still at the NYTimes?
I didn't know that:)
The gal was hot ---- 35 years ago.
Trump is rent free in Dowd's head.
And he's lonely.
The NRA is even in her rant.
This will be another great year for membership and gun makers are gearing up for a banner year.
Trump's election threatened a slump but I sometimes wonder if Democrat IRAs, hidden from the media, have heavy investments in gun shares.
Now all of a sudden Dowd is "Weird Al"?
Wow, MoDo is ranting mad. Maybe she should consider assisted suicide.
"Dowd got laid by Michael Douglas I think."
That explains her interest in herpetology.
Maureeen Dowd strikes venomously
I see what you did there.
Maureeen Dowd:
A second rate writer for third rate minds
She fits right in;
At the New York Times.
That "poem" is just a semi-recitation of this popular song from 1969:

I am surprised Althouse didn't recognize it.
The Snake
Here is the song “The Snake” with the same lyrics. It is by Al Wilson, I think this is 1968. I remember this from when I was a kid and haven’t heard it in years.
Oh well,

Trump is starting to remind me of my Grandmother re-telling one of her stories. One that you have heard her tell for years. She could do it without changing a single word or intonation. She was part human tape player. It may be an Episcopalian thing.
Trump could be her dream lover, that she needs to disavow when awake.
Do German have word for it?
Maureen Dowd can be fun. And sexy. But by the end it reads like she really has been bitten by a snake as she loses it completely in long rolls of liberal talking points.
Joke's on Dowd for spitting venom at Gore and Hillary all these years. Thanks, Maureen.
This post got 37 (now 38 comments). Which shows how much interest the NYT and Maureed Dowd still has in the public consciousness outside of the Blue Bubbles.
I hope they know this. I hope they can visibly SEE their influence diminishing, their readership failing, that they get mocked regularly because of their duplicitous ways. I hope they recall the tenants that they were taught (and ignored) in journalism school. That they actually read hard reporting in the Guardian and the Times of England...and feel the emptiness in their ethics and their souls. "I used to be a journalist. I used to be relevant.'
How exactly do they recover? When you are a congenital liar (ala any Clinton still breathing or Trump), how do you recover your reputation?
