It is a combination of gaunt and leathery skin from not getting enough oxygen to the skin cells. If she got a beauty mole on the tip her nose, and a couple flying monkey attendants, it would complete the picture. From what I see on a daily basis in health care, someone who continues to smoke has to be (being benevolent about it) not very bright. Questionable judgment. Having been a smoker for 30 and who is reasonably bright, I can attest that most smokers are swimming up that long river in Africa (de-Nile). BTW, I did quit, 15 years ago. |

I am guessing that you are confusing Maureen Dowd with Molly Ivins, who wrote some of the most acerbic comments about the Lewinsky affair than anyone else. I don't consider her at all liberal, compare to NYT columnists Paul Krugman, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert. Personally I take all columnists with a grain of salt. Their job is be confrontational. The only pundits I take seriously are the Magliozzi brothers. Some of the "Onion" columnists are objective and thought provoking as well. It's possible (don't forget, I am from NY and read the Times on a regular basis a long time ago). Time really flies when you get old and sometimes I lose perspective about how long ago I read or did something. It may be that the columns I've read by Ivins were published in the Washington Post-It's been a long while. I stopped reading pundits years ago. I've even stopped reading the WSJ editorials. I'm just so tired of brainless ideologues. Kinda puts you out of the running as a qualified judge of Ivins vs. Coulter, no? BTW, Jay Leno is hosting Coulter and George Carlin on Wednesday night. Based on the kind of stuff that Coulter writes when she has all the time she needs to think it over and (presumably) some form of editorial oversight, I'm betting she's reduced to a twitching, screaming bundle of invective within two minutes. we can only hope. |

Please relay to Ms. Malmros, that I have read numerous columns by Ivins the last one about 10 years ago (Not to mention the 10 solid years I've participated on several political boards). - whether or not the vehicle is the NYT or the WP doesn't negate the fact that she has no more validity than Coulter. Coulter, Ivins and Malmros are all morons. Vinnie, I'm in the smoking part of this thread, not the political pundit part. I don't read pundits either particularly, at least not with a purpose. I do think what Ann Coulter writes is drivel and as you say, designed to play to her audience. Can she be as dumb as she appears to be? So, please do your own "relaying". Thanks. |

Please relay to Ms. Malmros, Ms. Malmros can read the newsgroup just fine, son. that I have read numerous columns by Ivins the last one about 10 years ago As I was saying...

Coulter, Ivins and Malmros are all morons. Newsflash: Humpty Dumpty has just redefined the word "moron"! It now means, "Anyone who doesn't agree with Vincent Walker"!

Well, since it was originally defined by a vote at a convention, I suppose another vote could be taken easily enough. If enough voters agree with Mr. Vincent's definition does it become official and binding on dictionary editors? In particular, where does the OED stand on the issue? Inquiring minds want to know. |
