In January, a reporter contacted the nascent Biden campaign to request an interview. She wanted to ask the former vice president about lingering criticisms that were bound to come up on the trail: how, as a senator, he failed Anita Hill; his lead role in the 1994 crime bill; his vote for the Iraq war; his mixed record on abortion rights; his handsy ways; the hot mess that is Hunter.From "Kamala Shotguns Joe Sixpack" (NYT).
And that little girl was me.
That really is a great beginning. Anyway... Biden wouldn't do her interview, so Dowd was primed to enjoy Harris's taking advantage of her proximity to him on the debate stage. The idea is that old man Biden is "irritated and unprepared to address inevitable jabs from his younger, more nimble rivals."
The column is illustrated with a close-up photograph of one of Harris's high-heeled feet.
That's apt, because Dowd uses the metonymy of the shoe: "Harris was grinding her stiletto on a vulnerable part of Biden’s record."
If the sexes were reversed, that gleeful "vulnerable part" language would be decried as misogyny of the worst kind, finding fun in viciously crushing genitalia.
Or is it not apt? A female in stilettos, grinding vulnerable parts, is not a little girl.
Apparently, women in politics and journalism can take on whatever iteration of femininity suits the rhetorical fun of any given sentence.
ADDED: How much violence is there in that headline, "Kamala Shotguns Joe Sixpack"? It took me a few seconds to get beyond the gun violence of "shotguns" and the torso-admiration of "sixpack" — was Harris metaphorically shooting Biden in the stomach? — and to remember that "Joe Sixpack" is the guy who just enjoys drinking some beer after work and that Joe Biden lazily expects to be regarded as that sort of man and that "shotgunning" is a way to drink beer. From the Wikipedia article "Shotgunning":
To shotgun a beverage [usually a beer], a small hole is punched in the side of the can, close to the bottom. In order to prevent the liquid from spilling out while the cut is made, the can is held horizontally and the hole is made in the resulting air pocket. The hole can be made with any sharp object—typically a key, bottle opener, pen or knife. The drinker then places their mouth over the hole while rotating the can straight up. When the can's tab is pulled, the liquid will quickly drain through the hole into the drinker's mouth.That's what we're invited picturing Kamala Harris doing to Joe Biden?! Okaaay. I love that the Wikipedia "Shotgunning" article is illustrated with a photograph of a woman:
CC Evil Erin, "Shotgun Woman with a hat shotgunning a beer."
It's demeaning to Kamala Harris to depict her (in words) as sucking liquid that quickly squirts from Joe Biden. If you're using words comically, you are very aware of the images you're creating. Or maybe you're only aware of the images that serve your purposes and not thinking of other ones. I'm just telling you the one you put in my head. Did you mean to do that? Or are you just out of control?

Now Harris can tell us about the false-flag scam she set up with Jussie Smollett. Does asking make me a heel?
You usually are very hard on people who use kids as political props. Which is exactly what Harris did. She seems to have lied as well, but that doesn’t make it any more defensible.
Cunt kicks asshole in balls.
Democrats of color want to bring back busing. Great campaign promise.
Dowd was pushing 40 in the early 90s. She was a "little girl" in the 50's and 60's. She doesn't want you to know that.
I still wonder if Trump spurned her at one point.
Darrell said...Now Harris can tell us about the false-flag scam she set up with Jussie Smollett. Does asking make me a heel?
Heh. I forgot that she did that. Was her rush to judgment with a grudge Presidential timber?
Maureen Dowd was a little girl last January?
It's 40 years later, can anyone point out the unequivocal successes and benefits of court ordered busing?
In the town I went to school in forced busing was equally hated by almost all parents regardless of race.
"But, the stilleto, his groin, ha ha, it works on so many levels!"
Kamala Harris: Pro-busing, pro-open borders, early defender of Jussie Smolett who kicks Chicago PD in the balls. What's not to like about her?
Harris can’t even win the love of/support from her own father... she’s a narcissistic annoyance who’s record in California as a prosecutor and politician will sink her well-rogered backside.
The Sure Thing (1985) partly turns on teaching an uptight girl to shotgun beer. Also unusual in taking showing caring not as ripping off clothes but as waking up spooning.
Some day Dowd will have to give up her stilettos and wear sensible shoes.
"Apparently, women in politics and journalism can take on whatever iteration of femininity suits the rhetorical fun of any given sentence."
This is SO true of the lefties and our current Women's Movement leadership
(*Worst Womens Movement Leadership Ever. It is not helpful for achieving our 21st Century Golden Age.
perfect example is Hillary's famous righteous & huffy dodge at hearings on Benghazi: "At this point, what difference does it make?"
hard to imagine that tactic coming from a man, because it would not be effective or allowed to stand. But somehow women can be silly twats and get away with it.
Poor Kamala. A total victim. We need a phony victim to lead us to our Socialist utopia.
Forced busing essentially destroyed public education here. I was in college before it hit, but my youngest brother was vulnerable and ended up going to a joke of an overnight private school; but he was no scholar anyway-- the main thing was to avoid the trip across town!
In my job, later, I came to know and like the federal judge who decided the case here, but IMO he didn't do anyone much good with his order. Of course he was still considered a hero and saint by the elites and the media when he died.
Narr
Old pot-smokers may recall another form of shotgunning--or not
I was bused 45 minutes across town to a majority black school in a rundown neighborhood in Charlotte, N.C. It was a horrible experience that was leavened only by the presence of a newly built auditorium with professional-grade lighting and sound. I spent a lot of time there, and in the "Open School" concept, where Eldridge Cleaver taught me that blacks liked raping white women, that "Siddehartha" was incomprehensible, and Tolkien pretty cool.
They also started my first year there with us in a big room, asking each of us to talk about what we thought "open school" meant. Even then, I was thinking: I'm 15 years old. I never heard of open education. Why are you asking me?
Dylan had some thought on the women/girl thing in Blonde on Blonde.
Kamala Harris is too young to have been a part of any desegregation effort at Berkeley and in any case her parents would have been much too high caste to send her to school by bus with the common herd.

This^^^^^!!!!! Of course the Media is working overtime trying to keep it out of the news.
I belong to Classmates.com, and have access to high school yearbooks. The Berkeley High School
class of 1963 (I believe that was the year that Harris was born) has 7 black graduates out of 25 on the very first page of the yearbook. That sure looks to me like integrated.
Busing allowed for the building of mega schools with lots of highly paid administrators and counselors, not to mention land acquisition, legal and architectural fees, and construction contracts.
The visual of Kamala Harris shotgunning beer was supposed to endear her to rubes -- it's the same stunt that Warren used when she had a beer in her kitchen. Who thinks these things up?
I said: "first page of the yearbook"
UGH! What I should have said: "first page of the graduating class"
Sorry, for the confusion.
"It's demeaning to Kamala Harris to depict her (in words) as sucking liquid that quickly squirts...."
Wasn't demeaning to Willie Brown!
Surely there is a way that this shotgun reference can also be tied back to a hit song that a young Biden danced to out at the lake with a young Dowd or something.
It is difficult to imagine the lunatic Democrat women bypassing Willie’s Squeeze or Fauxcahontas in this clown show unless they go with the gay guy. Lunatic women are their core constituency, are they not?
And why not lunatics and their consorts: “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.“ Orwell.
what we thought "open school" meant.
"Southwest Open School specializes in high school education for alternative and at-risk students."
Two obscurant euphemisms in one sentence does not bode well.
"Auditorium with professional-grade fighting" ha ha one benefit of reading fast.
"But, the stilleto, his groin, ha ha, it works on so many levels!"
It's interesting that feminists complain about toxic masculinity but then emulate it.
Can you imagine a male columnist writing "Biden reamed Harris so hard, she's going to be walking funny for days, ha ha!"
I keep coming back to this pattern - people who were oppressed so easily fall into the role of oppressors. Like a Jew suggesting we tattoo all the Deplorables to keep track of them.
That sure looks to me like integrated.
The high school was already integrated. Her family was redlined out to Berkeley Flats so her elementary was "segregated." I think she went to high school in Canada though.
Either Kam or Liz can serve as placeholder until AOC, the ultimate nincompoop, comes of age.
That's apt, because Dowd uses the metonymy of the shoe: "Harris was grinding her stiletto on a vulnerable part of Biden’s record."
Is that really a metonym, or is it a metaphor? Is the stiletto a substitute for the foot grinding into the record? It seems to me that Harris drilling into the record was analogous to a woman grinding her stiletto into his groin. Once that image is set, then it would be synecdochical to say that Biden and the stiletto squared off at a debate. But I can’t quite see how a stiletto is uniquely associated with Harris which would be required to be metonymy.
Darrell, above, appears to have addressed your point using a fine polysemy with his question Does asking make me a heel?
I don’t care about the Kameltoe, and I don’t care about Sleepy Joe...or his groin. So I waste time with the master tropes.
- Krumhorn
If she is going to wear stilettos, Kamala needs to wear makeup on her feet. To put it politely, her feet are not attractive.
people have pointed out, that Dowd is saying that she was 'that child' last January, even though she was 66 years old at the time. I think i've discovered the problem!
The Democrats are living in a Time Warp
From today:
Biden claimed that just five years ago, it would have been acceptable for a businessman to make “fun of a gay waiter,”
In What world, would it have 'been acceptable' for a businessman to make "fun of a gay waiter"?
That's right, the world were Maureen Dowd was 'that child' last January; the world where it's always 1967
All white noise.
Good grief. Failed Altparse.
transitive verb
shot·gunned, shot·gun·ning, shot·guns

To drink (a can of beer or other beverage) quickly through a hole punched near the bottom of the can.
--
I went to northern California schools long before Kamala. They were not segregated. Kamala may have been bussed from a mostly white school, but not because of segregation. Sheeessssshhhhh. Somebody needs to do a deep dive into her victimhood.
For various reasons it has taken a long time for people to say that Kamala has promised to bring back busing - not just talk about it as it impacted her in the past. For the same reasons it will never be the case that this is an important issue except insofar as it affects how people vote.
Kamala Harris and her campaign advisers should avoid images that portray her in a sexual way, especially in the vein of a dominatrix. Willie Brown appears willing to take the spotlight, and her own father is willing to add his own disapproving voice. I don't think Trump has nicknamed her yet, but given her sexual history and the mud the Democrats and their minions like to throw at him over his relationships with women, both real and imagined, Trump wouldn't feel the need to hold back. So far, Harris has appeared in conservative business suits. Sexy husband thief isn't a winner with the soccer moms she's hoping to grab. The grandma scold is offering the same political agenda, and she isn't threatening.
Betting her Indian heritage won't be employed re Joe's crack about 7-11s.
I thought shotgunning related to Gay oral sex.
Althouse:
Have you done a word-count of your average post after your retirement and compared it to a word count pre-retirement? Perhaps you should look up 'brevity' in OED?
The MSM is already trying to protect Harris by claiming every criticism of her is "Racist" or "Sexist". In never ends.
With 2 lifetimes of failed boyfriends and no husbands or children, the time is right for Mo Dowd & Jean Carroll to simply marry each other.
That's legal now.
Kamala is the VP candidate with the best legs so there’s that. Snort, snort. Grabs crotch, farts, exits stage right.
No one will ask her about the Smollett case. The scandal surrounding Smollett is that there is no scandal surrounding Smollett....I'm sorry she had a bigoted neighbor. I grew up in a housing project. I had some bigoted neighbors. If I described how bigoted they were, I would be described as a bigot....It seems to me that Kamala didn't have such an oppressed childhood. Little girls in India and Africa have far sadder stories to tell.
After getting shotgunned, Joe has blood coming out of his wherever.
Didn't Biden have a political epiphany and convert to Pro-Choice?
"...was Harris metaphorically shooting Biden in the stomach?"
More importantly, did her velocity exceed 27mph?
TWW @11:19: how about you fuck off and Althouse does what she wants?
The trouble with women being men is that they don't make good men.
LOL, EDH. My thought exactly when I was writing it.
If you want to say “failed Altparse,” you’ll have to say more than supplying a definition that is already there in the post.
Failed comment, but you can do a rewrite. Read the whole post, or reread if you’ve done that.
Just seemed like a reach to put that much focus on the squirting liquid interpretation.
I would like to see the universal adoption of the use of Altparse. It could be taught in journalism school...haha no, they don't teach such things in journalism school anymore.
Given editors often write an article's headline, I wonder if that happens with op eds.
If it is Dowd's, she seems to be trying to hard to be folksy.
The trouble with women being men is that they don't make good men.
Yah. I have a friend who is transitioning Female-to-Male. I feel protective of her. But when she talks about becoming a man, all I can think about was how difficult it was for me to transition from a Boy to a Man. She has no idea what it means.
It's like thinking you can slap a FORD F150 body onto a Prius and roll.

If you are asking if USSC did it for the children ==>>> NO.
For job security for Statists ==>>> YES.
Destroy civility in society ==>>> YES.
I rarely meet someone who is racist, except for some who endured forced busing as children and HS students. Busing created a generation of racists.
Thanks to Drudge I could read Dowd’s article despite the paywall. Here’s the paragraph that Caught my eye:
“Harris was grinding her stiletto on a vulnerable part of Biden’s record. The reason Hill was eviscerated and a lying Clarence Thomas ascended to the Supreme Court is that Biden, as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was bending over backward to appease uncompromising Republicans on the panel — the same men who were falsely accusing Hill of perversity, erotomania and perjury.”
That first sentence grabbed Althouse’s attention, too. But reading the rest of the paragraph, what if Clarence Thomas was telling the truth and Hill really was perjuring herself? I’ve commented on Althouse’s blind spot regarding he said-she said before, and the self-evident fact that Dowd has a similar blind spot does not make it less of a blind spot, nor less reprehensible. Lefties claim that there were women ready to support Hill’s version of events, but the information I have is that there were even more women ready to support Thomas and to correctly label Hill a fabulist.

What say you to :
redesign stiletto into Dildo shape?
The shotgun reference has nothing to do with drinking beer, it's about shooting him - with a shotgun:
The US vice-president, who is spearheading the White House’s gun policy proposals, said he told his wife to reach for the family shotgun if there were an intruder at their secluded Delaware home.
“Jill, if there’s ever a problem here, just walk out on the balcony, here, walk out, put that double-barrel shotgun and just fire two blasts outside the house,” Mr Biden said.
The unusual advice came during an online forum with readers of Parents Magazine, where Mr Biden shocked some liberals with his enthusiastic endorsement of shotguns for self-defence.
“If you want to protect yourself buy a double-barrelled shotgun,” Mr Biden responded to a woman’s question about defending her house. “You don’t need an AR-15: it’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself.”
Lowering his voice, he added: “Buy a shotgun, buy a shotgun.”

Allen: Fen, don't you think that you should explain to your friend that masturbation will cause hair to grow on the palms of his hands?
LOL Allen. I guess I'm somewhat bigoted, because if it was another guy I would totally troll him with that one. That's another thing men do to each other, sometimes I wonder if it's the pack testing the others, making sure they can take it.
There was a funny cartoon about that. Bunch of guys sitting around a table telling one poor soul what a loser fuck up he is. After he leaves they say to each other "he's really a stand up guy". Cut to next frame, women around table, telling her how great she really is, and after she leaves they are unanimous: "what a bitch".
Can’t believe NYT would use the metaphor of KH blast JB with a shotgun.
Blasting
What's this "Six Pack Joe" bullshit. He was never a blue collar guy, and he's always been a teetotaler. He started politics a year after becoming a lawyer. It's all he's ever done? That alone is disqualifying to me. From the plagiarism to the rapidly shifting policy positions, Robinette has always been a poseur and a fraud.
Two PHDs couldn't get their kid into private school? TOTAL bullshit!
I remember another candidate with stilettos, oddly neither Dowd nor Newsweek showed any support for her, then again she did things on her own, not on her back, to be blunt.
Dowd uncovered bidens plagiarism but she supported the solon over a sister.
There is also the fact she went to school in Canada by second grade, in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Montreal

But Dowd failed to point out that Harris wouldn't be at this point without the bed-hopping with Willie Brown. People not from California fail in this regard. Harris is just another race hustler like Jackson and Sharpton.
"Can’t believe NYT would use the metaphor of KH blast JB with a shotgun."
You may have missed it but "Shotgun Joe" was a popular meme for a while on the right (and drew a good bit of criticism from the left) after he promoted the use of shotguns for home defense.
So, yeah, that's exactly what they did.
I’ve commented on Althouse’s blind spot regarding he said-she said before, and the self-evident fact that Dowd has a similar blind spot does not make it less of a blind spot, nor less reprehensible. Lefties claim that there were women ready to support Hill’s version of events, but the information I have is that there were even more women ready to support Thomas and to correctly label Hill a fabulist.
Yes, that was a setup by Biden who reassured Thomas that the hearing was no big deal, then lined up Hill but ignored those prepared to testify that she was lying. She followed him all over until he married a white woman. She is presently a "Gender Studies" professor. Has never been competent in Law.
Ann Althouse said...Can’t believe NYT would use the metaphor of KH blast JB with a shotgun.
Why not? You were one of the first to recognize that they (NYT) wanted Kamala as the front runner. This is just a means to that end.
Suppose the NYT follows through all the way and props up Harris as the frontrunner but further suppose that her popular support never materializes. What then?
Unlike Biden, Trump won’t take bullshit from Kamala.
Kamala looks tough because Joe is a pussy.
She personally hates him.
There is always something intriguing about people who can inspire passionate hatred. Indifference is the ultimate cruelty.
Kamala Shotguns Willie Brown and is risen to the top of California Politics

Dowd uncovered bidens plagiarism but she supported the solon over a sister.
Dowd has her own problems in this arena, they even named it after her:
Dowdism...
(interesting, 10 years ago Google had 20+ hits on this, now they are vanished...)
So I'll do the legwork: Dowdism is the practice of using ellipses to deliberately misrepresent a quote to say something it didn't. Example:
Fen: I stole a few minutes from my lunch break to swing through the car wash
Dowd: Fen has admitted he "stole... from... the car wash"
If you want to know where modern journalism went off the rails, start by asking why Maureen Dowd is still employable.

They wouldn't do that, but they would instead present the metaphor of Kamala Sutra sucking the jism out of Biden's prick as fast as he could pump it out (no 27mph I'm sure)? That would be supportive of Harris and demeaning of Biden? Tell me more.
@Fen (3:17), absolutely right! Sometimes I think the Times is pushing Harris because in their shriveled little hearts they expect Trump to win re-election and they want an excuse that beats up on us deplorables.
Althouse pumps up her base with a Dowdism headline shading Biden—what rhetorical fun.
Maureen "Dud" Dowd is a drunken, bitter old has-been since she was dumped by Michael Douglas. Dowd's family is intelligent - they are Republicans
the NYTimes should be more cautious in pushing Harris.
They don't know her liabilities. Trump does however.
Fen,
The version that sticks with me is:
"Men socialize by insulting each other, but they really don't mean it.
Women socialize by complimenting each other, but they don't mean it."
I experienced this as recently as last Wednesday. I'm in a small specialty shop where I don't really know the owner (let's call him "Bob"), but he's a long-time associate of a friend and high school classmate of mine (who we'll call "Sam".)
So I go into the shop, business is being taken care of, and I get Bob's attention.
"Are you Bob?"
[Raises eyebrows in a way that says Yes.]
"Well, hey, Sam says Hi!"
[Raises eyebrows even higher.] "You know Sammity???"
"He's a high-school classmate of mine."
[bit of a pause...] "I'm sorry."
-----
Oh, and try "Dowdification". Plenty of hits. (It's not an -ism, it's a [dishonest] action.)
Berkeley had VOLUNTARY busing when Harris went to school according to the LA Times. So basically Harris' educated Indian mother and educated Black father didn't want Kamala to go to a neighborhood Black school.
"Kamala Shotguns Joe Six pack.":
So Biden is a stand in for the white working class?
I don't know a single white working class person who identifies with Biden. Most don't know who he is, even if they recognize the name. Working class people are good at spotting bull shitters, yes, even Trump voters.
The idea of "working class Joe" was invented by Biden. It was a title he seized, not a title he was awarded. Dowd the editors of the NY Times may recognize that title, working people don't.
Man, you are all over the place today. "Shotguns" refers to blasting Joe with Harris' rhetoric, "Joe Sixpack" refers to Biden's branding of himself as just a normal working-class guy who you'd sit next to at the local bar after your shift at the factory. Thus, what the title means is clear, and it's also projection on the part of the author: Dowd really loves the image of proud, powerful Kamela delivering justice by unloading both barrels into the pandering, woman-handsing white patriarch hiding behind his everyman cardboard cutout.
There once was a little girl who delighted in the tearing wings off of butterflies, and that little girl....
"And that little girl was me."
Or, to quote the great Edmund Blackadder, “She, sir, is me, sir!”
