One can only assume how much trouble this will make for Maureen Dowd. Note the Lynne Cheney endorsement on the home page of this nutball network of nobodies.

And who might "skippy" be?

You mentioned "nobodies"--it would be nice to link a real somebody to the fake email you left.

Stalking is the sincerest form of flattery. Maybe the Krugman and Dowd heel-nippers should have a convention, to commiserate over the vast left wing media that obsesses over stained blue dresses but doesn't blink at $61m in overcharges by Halliburton.

I'm not fussy for that kind of crowd or kind of thinking myself, but I'm far less fussy for people who imagine that at an interactive weblog they can take advantage of the cloak of anonymity to bichslap counterfeminists as "nutball nobodies". Maureen Dowd and Cathy Siepp both link their ideas and opinions to their own true names, which makes them both exemplars of feminine courage. Not "skippy" here, though. It defeats this particular medium's most important attribute--interactivity--when you have no true persona of your own, and only use other sites to snipe at other people.

Yeah! Thanks, Joseph. Also, what's the world coming to when a person can't take a job as a coldhearted hired gun without everyone getting on her CASE?

Taking on the "hegemony of the Left" sounds a bit like a misplaced persecution complex (the culture war is over, be a good winner already); but even if the target's unworthy, Ms. Seipp's characteristic humor should prevail.
