Shot in the Dark

Open Borders, 1854 Edition

This just occurred to me: Maureen Dowd may be the  Betty McCollum of columnists:

As I sat above the Hoover Dam under the broiling sun, I was getting jittery.

There was Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, speaking at the dedication of a bridge linking Arizona and Nevada 890 feet above the Colorado River.

As the politicians droned on and my Irish skin turned toasty brown, I worried that Governor Brewer might make a citizen’s arrest and I would have to run for my life across the desert. She has, after all, declared open season on anyone with a suspicious skin tone in her state.

The Irish never turn “toasty brown”.

And the only “suspicious skin tone” this country should open a season on is that waxy, corpse-like newsroom pallor.

Kidding.  I kid.

    Betty McCollum? Yeah, probably. She makes me think of Paul Kael (“I only know one person who voted for Nixon”) Lives in a hermetically sealed world for sure.

    We’ll call her an “ignorcrat”… it fits. 😉

    There’s a better chance some cowboy would’ve come along, roped & branded her.

    “The Irish never turn “toasty brown”. Being pretty much 100% Irish I can attest to that. A little bit of sun and it goes from pale white directly to lobster red.
