For weeks, the campaign's media debate centered on whether the press was being too kind to Sen. Barack Obama -- whether it was fawning over the Democrat's historic run and drowning him in rapturous coverage. (Recent studies and analysis have cast that claim into doubt.) But now the narrative has been expanded to include the laughable notion that, following a string of McCain campaign stumbles, including botched staging and questionable photo-ops, the press has suddenly turned on McCain and is mocking the Republican. That the same press corps that branded McCain a maverick and for years worshipped his loose-talking demeanor, has now soured on the senator. Meaning, the love is gone. The New York Observer trumpeted that trend last week when it published a front-page article detailing the transformation from McCain-as-media-hero to "McCain-as-marginalized-victim" who's suffering "rough treatment" from journalists. The Observer piece came complete with an illustration that showed the press as a two-by-four-wielding playground bully setting his sights on a vulnerable and childlike McCain. (Run Johnny, run!) Aside from asking for the world's smallest violin, I'd like to make the point that rather than bemoaning the type of press attention McCain has been attracting, most recent Democratic candidates for president, who were pummeled and even savaged by the press, would pay for the kind of respectful coverage McCain has accumulated this summer. They would be rejoicing if the press ever treated them as kindly and as softly as it has McCain this campaign. Let me put it another way: When McCain gets regularly portrayed in the press as a serial liar the way Al Gore was in 2000, then he can complain about the press. When McCain is portrayed as an angry lunatic the way Howard Dean was in 2003, then he can complain. When McCain's war record is dragged through the mud while the press looks on for weeks too frightened to call out the partisan accusers, the way John Kerry's military record was, then he can complain. When McCain's campaign is defined by his haircut the way John Edwards' was, then he can complain. When McCain is portrayed as a cackling witch the way Hillary Clinton was this winter, then he can complain. When McCain is portrayed as arrogant and presumptuous the way Obama is today, then he can complain. But pretending that when the press simply chronicles McCain's disjointed campaign means that reporters and pundits have somehow turned on the candidate -- that they are attacking him and piling on -- is just ludicrous. It's true the McCain campaign has received some unkind press notices in recent weeks, but that's because the McCain campaign has been very poorly run. As The Atlantic's conservative blogger Ross Douthat conceded last week, "John McCain is running a staggeringly inept campaign." That's what Republican boosters were saying about the Arizona senator. But simply acknowledging the campaign's missteps, however gingerly the traditional media have done it in recent weeks, does not mean the press is being nasty to the candidate or attacking the GOP. What's happened in recent White House campaign cycles is that people have become so accustomed to the press openly mocking the Democrat that when that pattern is altered, however slightly, as it's been in 2008, it's perceived to be a massive shift. Since the media are simply not trashing the Democratic nominee as aggressively as in campaigns past, conservatives are claiming that's being unfair. They liked the old model where the press effortlessly adopted GOP spin about Democratic candidates being phony and untrustworthy. That worked for the GOP. Today, that model has been modestly tweaked, and the GOP is crying foul. That's expected. But it was distressing to see the New York Observer buy into the spin about the media turning on McCain. After all, the evidence to support the meme is quite thin. Yes, partisan Republican Grover Norquist, the head of Americans for Tax Reform, assured the Observer that McCain "got slapped upside the head" by the media. But in terms of pinpointing actual instances of mockery, the Observer didn't seem to have much to work with. It did cite this recent cable chatter scene: "On a recent segment on Fox News' The Beltway Boys ... Morton Kondracke, countered a little later with this: "McCain did not have a great week. His visual was riding around in a golf cart with old George Bush the First." Mr. Kondracke waved his hands in the air, comically mimicking Mr. McCain at the wheel of a golf car. Mr. [Fred] Barnes crossed his arms and chuckled. That was the Observer's strongest piece of evidence of the media "mockery" -- of the "rough treatment" -- that McCain has had to endure? Kondracke waved his hands and Barnes chuckled. Oh, brother. I mean, how does McCain make it through the days with that kind of media venom flowing in his direction? I can't help thinking if Gore wouldn't have preferred suffering that kind of "mockery" as opposed to having MSNBC's Chris Matthews announce that Gore was so desperate to be president in 2000 that he would gladly "lick the bathroom floor" to get elected. Go read the Daily Howler's 2000 archives for a catalog that's as long as a fire station grocery list of the jarring insults and attacks the press leveled against Gore, who, at times, was portrayed in the press as pathological. And then compare those attacks to the light-as-a-feather mockery that McCain has supposedly had to deal with lately and tell me which is tougher. It's the same reason that I bet Clinton would have gladly been the target of a Fox News anchor's chuckle rather than having The New York Times print a news section analysis of her laugh and then watch lots of well-paid, deep-thinking pundits and reporters at The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Cincinnati Post, National Public Radio, Time.com, Reuters, Associated Press, Politico, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, among others, pontificate about her humorous outbursts. Indeed, way back in November 2007, months before the press really let loose on her candidacy, Greg Sargent amassed a sort of Greatest Hits of the media's phony attacks on Clinton. Read the list and try to think of a single event in the last two months in which the press, which we're told has turned on poor John McCain, ever concocted nonsense like this and targeted the GOP front-runner: * Hillary's alleged failure to tip the Iowa waitress * Hillary's phony southern drawl * The supposed 20-year-plan by Hillary and Bill to take over the world, or at least deliver them both the Presidency, as alleged by Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta and denied by the one person who supposedly had first-hand knowledge of their dastardly plot * The baseless claim that Hillary eavesdropped on political opponents in 1992 * The bogus media claim that Bill Clinton accused Hillary's Dem rivals of "swiftboating" her * The media's hyping of Hillary's supposed refusal to release Presidential records, a tale that was taken apart in today's Washington Post and which wasn't matched by any similar media outrage about Rudy [Giuliani's] refusal to release his Mayoral papers. P.S. Don't forget the great cleavage debate of 2007. Yet we're supposed to believe the bullying press is now mocking McCain? Give us a break. You'll also note that with the Democratic trend with Gore, Dean, Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, and Obama, the caustic coverage candidates have had to endure almost always revolved around questions of character; being a liar, a phony, unhinged, or arrogant. By contrast, there has not been a single, sustained press narrative pushed by the media during this entire campaign season that has ridiculed or called into question McCain's character. Not one. For the press, that kind of character exploration of McCain remains taboo. But when covering Democrats, character assassination remains routine. Meanwhile, I can't help wondering if the press is being tagged as mean and nasty simply because reporters belatedly challenged one of McCain's many campaign lies. Because they decided to come out of their Bush-era shell and actually engaged in a rare bout of fact-checking, or what used to be called reporting, when a Republican tried to smear the character of his Democratic opponent. The lie McCain peddled in a television ad was that Obama canceled a trip to visit wounded U.S. soldiers in Germany because the Pentagon told him he couldn't bring reporters along with him. After some initial hesitation, NBC, along with The New York Times and The Washington Post, among others, finally reported that McCain's central allegation was not supported by the facts. On the front page on July 30, the Post's Michael Shear and Dan Balz reported that McCain continued to make the allegation, "despite no evidence that the charge is true." That might seem like a simple thing. And unfortunately the press still allowed McCain's planted lie to dictate campaign coverage last week. But for the Beltway media amidst a White House campaign, the Post's reporting was different. As the Daily Howler noted: "Shear's report represents a major change in the mainstream press culture of the past sixteen years. In this report, the Washington Post, on its front page, directly challenges the latest slimy "character" charge against the latest Dem White House hopeful. This represents a major change in the way this newspaper does business." Quite simply, the Republican Party cannot afford to have the press become aggressive fact-checkers out on the trail. So in an attempt to intimidate the press back into the semi-crouch that has defined campaign journalism for the last decade, conservatives whine about how mean and nasty the media are for attacking McCain. But the far-fetched claim just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. In fact, it directly contradicts very recent testimonials from starry-eyed journalists on the McCain beat. "Covering McCain is a blast," wrote Ana Marie Cox, in a recent issue of Radar. "He genuinely likes reporters: He'll joke with us about our drinking habits, playfully request our cell phones in the middle of a call and tell some unsuspecting editor or parent that the phone's owner has just been hauled off to rehab, and engage in gleefully sarcastic banter about both our colleagues and his." And on MSNBC last week, Time's Mark Halperin, sounding like somebody putting off making an unwanted dentist appointment, assured viewers that, "McCain deserves scrutiny and he'll get some." Halperin couldn't quite say when that pending scrutiny of McCain would take place. (Stay tuned.) The truth is that the press not only has not turned on McCain but it continues to act as a key campaign ally in a way it does not for Democrats. I'm trying to imagine back during the 2004 campaign, when the debate about Iraq was raging: What if candidate Kerry had sat down for an interview on the CBS Evening News and promptly made an egregious factual error regarding the timeline of events there? Does anybody really think that rather than air Kerry's blunder, and in fact trumpet the misstep as news, that CBS would have cut away from his botched answer and replaced it with three separate spliced-together statements made by Kerry, one of which was the answer to a different question, and then not tipped off viewers that the interview had been heavily edited? Does anybody think CBS would have extended Kerry that courtesy? That's exactly the kind of oversized life preserver Katie Couric's Evening News threw McCain when he bungled the timeline of the U.S. military's surge in Iraq during a CBS interview. In an extraordinary act of kindness, Couric and company covered for McCain -- and violated CBS' ethical guidelines in the process. Yet today we're told the press has turned on the GOP candidate and that it's mocking John McCain? Trust me, if the press had turned on Al Gore like that in 2000, he'd be finishing up his second term as president right now.

So here's our story. We recently had a room open up and we are looking for a laid back guy to join the household by August 1st. You'd be moving into an Large 4-bedroom/ 3-bathroom home shared by 4 other straight/easy going/professionals (ages 27-31). Check out the details and pics below! The House: - Large furnished living room - Dinning room - Large Kitchen with it’s own island - Washer and Dryer - Garage for storage space - Ample street parking including 1 drive way spot - Backyard - Peaceful/safe location (this is Ingleside Terrace- best part of Ingleside) - Professional Air Hockey Table - High speed WiFi The Room: I'll cut right to the chase - This is a small room, it's probably only about 80-90 square feet. Inside contains a desk/shelf unit attached to the wall, which takes up some of the limited space so you have to be someone who doesn’t require a lot of space. Also, you should know that the room is right next to the kitchen, which is great for getting midnight snacks but bad if you’re a light sleeper (although we’re all very considerate to this and try to not make any noise at night time). However, the good news is the room does comes with its own bathroom, which is pretty nice and you’re getting a huge house to roam around in as well. Rent= $650 + utilities (runs $35-$80 per month). Move in cost requires first, a last month's rent deposit of $650, and a $300 security deposit. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/bedroom1.jpg The Roommates: Michele- 30-year-old sparkling chatterbox beaming goodwill and character. Can be found usually downtown working or chatting it up over her daily late. Spend an hour with her and you will be tickled by her Rhode Island personality as she shares her goals of breaking the Guinness book record for career changes in a lifetime. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/IMG_1167.JPG Brian (31), former hypersominac who's reluctantly becoming the old man of the house. When not bounded by responsibility, enjoys playing sports, live music shows, ultimate frisbee, or wandering the streets aimlessly searching for the quintessential restaurant.

Has a passion for road trips, outdoors, watching & playing sports, baking the world's greatest banana bread, and, most importantly, helping his roommates with their car problems.

When he's not charming the young folks, can be found watching sports, sharing his extensive movie knowledge, schooling us on sleep disorders, or holding clinics on obscure board games. Talented, funny dude who's turning out to be a great roommate. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26454269@N02/2481284632/in/photostream/ Looking for: - Ages 25- 35 - Respectful, financially stable, direct(isn't a fan of passive aggressiveness) - Doesn't own any pets (we love them but our landlord doesn't) - Somewhat social but won't bring bar home with you - Clean and understands how to live in a shared environment - Low maintenance (has their own life) - Not a light sleeper (don't worry, we don't blast heavy metal but the house does have thin walls) - Someone who owns a plasma big screen (just kidding) Location: In the very southern part of the city, Ingleside Terrace is a quite residential neighborhood, located between the West Portal district and SFSU. It is about 4 blocks away from Ocean Avenue, which has all of your amenities (gym, dry cleaners, wallgreens, restaurants etc.). It’s a bit of hike from downtown, so if you don’t drive, you need to patient enough of a person to take a 30-50 minute muni/bart ride. So if you think this might be your type of place, send us a brief description of yourself (including age) and a picture or a myspace/friendster/etc link (not because we're that shallow- only one of us is - but because we want to put a face behind the words) and we'll get back to you with the showing time.

Talented, funny dude who's turning out to be a great roommate. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26454269@N02/2481284632/in/photostream/ Looking for: - Ages 25- 35 - Respectful, financially stable, direct(isn't a fan of passive aggressiveness) - Doesn't own any pets (we love them but our landlord doesn't) - Somewhat social but won't bring bar home with you - Clean and understands how to live in a shared environment - Low maintenance (has their own life) - Not a light sleeper (don't worry, we don't blast heavy metal but the house does have thin walls) - Someone who owns a plasma big screen (just kidding) Location: In the very southern part of the city, Ingleside Terrace is a quite residential neighborhood, located between the West Portal district and SFSU. It is about 4 blocks away from Ocean Avenue, which has all of your amenities (gym, dry cleaners, wallgreens, restaurants etc.). It’s a bit of hike from downtown, so if you don’t drive, you need to patient enough of a person to take a 30-50 minute muni/bart ride. So if you think this might be your type of place, send us a brief description of yourself (including age) and a picture or a myspace/friendster/etc link (not because we're that shallow- only one of us is - but because we want to put a face behind the words) and we'll get back to you with the showing time.

You'd be moving into an Large 4-bedroom/ 3-bathroom home shared by 4 other straight/professionals (ages 27-31). Check out the details and pics below! The House: - Large furnished living room - Dinning room - Large Kitchen with it’s own island - Washer and Dryer - Garage for storage space - Ample street parking including 1 drive way spot - Backyard - 6 months lease - Peaceful/safe location (this is Ingleside Terrace- best part of Ingleside) - Professional Air Hockey Table - High speed WiFi The Room: A very small but cozy space (80-90 square feet). Inside contains a desk/shelf unit attached to the wall, which takes up some of the limited space so you have to be someone who doesn’t require a lot of room. Also, you should know that the room is right next to the kitchen, which is great for getting midnight snacks but bad if you’re a light sleeper (although we’re all very considerate to this and try to not make any noise at night time). The best part of the situation is that the room comes with its own bathroom, which is pretty nice and you’re getting a huge house to roam around in as well. Rent= $650 + utilities (runs $35-$80 per month). Move in cost requires first, a last month's rent deposit of $650, and a $300 security deposit. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/bedroom1.jpg The Roommates: Michele- 30-year-old sparkling chatterbox beaming goodwill and character. Can be found usually downtown working or chatting it up over her daily late. Spend an hour with her and you will be tickled by her Rhode Island personality as she shares her goals of breaking the Guinness book record for career changes in a lifetime. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/IMG_1167.JPG Brian (31), former hypersominac who's reluctantly becoming the old man of the house. When not bounded by responsibility, enjoys live music shows, sports, ultimate frisbee, air hockey or wandering the streets aimlessly searching for the quintessential restaurant. Inquisitive, tolerant idealist who specialty is making mean cocktails and faking professional demeanors. http://home.comcast.net/~mcallsworth/Brian.jpg Mike- (30), east coaster struggling to adapt to the carefree, disconnected city life. Has a passion for road trips, outdoors, watching & playing sports, the occasional video game, and helping his roommates with their car problems.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards (NC) -- using gendered language, specifically characterizing Clinton as masculine, and Obama and Edwards as feminine. For example, Dowd wrote on March 3, 2007: "If Hillary is in touch with her masculine side, Barry [Obama] is in touch with his feminine side." On June 4, Dowd asserted: "Barry [Obama] has been trying to shake off Hillary and pivot for quite a long time now, but she has managed to keep her teeth in his ankle and raise serious doubts about his potency. ... Hillary's camp radiated the message that Obama was a sucker who had played by the rules on Florida and Michigan, and then reached an appeasing compromise, and that such a weak sister could never handle Putin or I'm-A-Dinner-Jacket." Besides characterizing Clinton as masculine, Dowd often portrays the New York senator and former first lady as domineering, having called her "Mommie Dearest" and "Mistress Hillary. Dowd also often compares Obama to a child, calling him "boy wonder" and "the Chicago kid." By contrast, Dowd rarely feminized the all-male Republican field, and, during the period Media Matters reviewed, has never feminized Sen. John McCain, whom she has referred to in one column as a "tough guy[]." Obama Dowd has described Obama as "the diffident debutante" and "America's pretty boy." She has characterized him and his campaign as seemingly "effete," writing on March 9: "Obama's multiculturalism is a selling point with many Democrats. But his impassioned egghead advisers have made his campaign seem not only out of his control, but effete and vaguely foreign -- the same unflattering light that doomed Michael Dukakis and John Kerry." Similarly, in an April 2 column, Dowd claimed that "[h]is strenuous and inadvertently hilarious efforts to woo working-class folk in Pennsylvania have only made him seem more effete." Later in the column, she wrote: "At the Wilbur chocolate shop in Lititz Monday, he spent most of his time skittering away from chocolate goodies, as though he were a starlet obsessing on a svelte waistline." Dowd wrote on January 30: "Obama is the more emotionally delicate candidate, and the one who has the more feminine consensus management style, and the not-blinded-by-testosterone ability to object to a phony war." Similarly, on February 24, Dowd claimed: And when historians trace how her [Clinton's] inevitability dissolved, they will surely note this paradox: The first serious female candidate for president was rejected by voters drawn to the more feminine management style of her male rival. The bullying and bellicosity of the Bush administration have left many Americans exhausted and yearning for a more nurturing and inclusive style. Later in the column, Dowd wrote that Clinton "tried once more to cast Obama as a weak sister on his willingness to talk to Raúl Castro" and that "Obama tapped into his inner chick and turned the other cheek." Further, in a June 4 column, Dowd wrote: "And, even though Democrats were no longer listening, Hillary's camp radiated the message that Obama was a sucker who had played by the rules on Florida and Michigan, and then reached an appeasing compromise, and that such a weak sister could never handle Putin or I'm-A-Dinner-Jacket." Dowd has also frequently characterized Obama as a child. On March 3, 2007, Dowd compared Obama to a "schoolboy who's being bullied," and later called him "Obambi." Dowd has also referred to him as "the Chicago kid," "Dreamboy," "Boy Wonder," "Wonder Boy," and a "new kid in school." In a December 2, 2007, column, Dowd claimed that, in presidential races, "Americans seek a patriarchal figure. ... But with Barack Obama, this dynamic seems reversed. He seems more like a child prodigy." Dowd wrote: Customarily in presidential races, Americans seek a patriarchal figure, a strong parent to protect the house from invaders and financial turbulence. But with Barack Obama, this dynamic seems reversed. He seems more like a child prodigy. Those enraptured with his gifts urge him on, like anxious parents, trying to pull that sustained, dazzling performance out of him that they believe he's capable of; they are willing to put up with the prodigy's occasional listlessness and crabbiness, his flights of self-regard and self-righteousness. Despite his uneven efforts and distaste for the claws of competition, they can see he is a golden child, one who moves, speaks, smiles and thinks with amazing grace. Clinton Dowd called Clinton "The Man," following Clinton's win in the May 6 Indiana primary, writing: She showed again with her squeaker win in Indiana that for many white working-class men, she is The Man -- more tenacious and less concerned with the judgments of the tony set, economists and editorial writers. Talking up guns, going to the Auto Racing Hall of Fame, speaking from the back of pickup trucks and doing shots of populism with a cynicism chaser, Hillary emerged from a lifetime of government limos to bask as queen of the blue-collar prom. Dowd also asserted of Clinton's political message: "In Iowa, her national anthem may have been off-key, but her look wasn't. It was an attractive mirror of her political message: man-tailored with a dash of pink femininity." Further, Dowd has repeatedly claimed that Clinton based her votes on Iraq and Iran on her desire to prove her masculinity: On October 10, 2007, Dowd wrote: "It was odd, given her success in the debates conveying the sense that she is the manliest candidate among the Democrats, that she felt she needed to man-up on Iran." Again, on January 9, Dowd claimed: Gloria Steinem wrote in The Times yesterday that one of the reasons she is supporting Hillary is that she had "no masculinity to prove." But Hillary did feel she needed to prove her masculinity. That was why she voted to enable W. to invade Iraq without even reading the National Intelligence Estimate and backed the White House's bellicosity on Iran. Similarly, on February 24, Dowd asserted: Hillary was so busy trying to prove she could be one of the boys -- getting on the Armed Services Committee, voting to let W. go to war in Iraq, strong-arming supporters and donors, and trying to out-macho Obama -- that she only belatedly realized that many Democratic and independent voters, especially women, were eager to move from hard-power locker-room tactics to a soft-power sewing circle approach. Dowd has also frequently compared Clinton to aggressive, ruthless, or violent characters, describing her efforts to obtain the Democratic nomination as "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman," and writing that she "seized the chance to play Godzilla." On June 20, 2007, Dowd claimed that, "like Tony [Soprano], Hillary is so power-hungry that she can justify any thuggish means to get the prize." Similarly, on March 23, Dowd wrote: It's impossible to imagine The Terminator, as a former aide calls her, giving up. Unless every circuit is out, she'll regenerate enough to claw her way out of the grave, crawl through the Rezko Memorial Lawn and up Obama's wall, hurl her torso into the house and brutally haunt his dreams. In addition to characterizing Clinton as masculine and aggressive, Dowd has portrayed Clinton as domineering, referring to her as "Mommie Dearest." Of Clinton's "3 a.m." ad, Dowd wrote, "It's rather Mommie Dearest for the first serious female contender to try to give the kiddies nightmares." Similarly, in a November 18, 2007, column, Dowd called Clinton the "debate dominatrix" and "Mistress Hillary," and wrote that "[s]he has continued to flick the whip in debates." Edwards Dowd has described Edwards as a "Breck Girl," a "Material Boy," and a "glamour boy[]," and has called him the "Secretary of Hairdressing." In a September 16, 2007, column, Dowd wrote that Edwards and Obama seemed to be "hiding behind their wives' skirts," after asserting that they had "tiptoed around her [Clinton], letting their wives take shots at the front-runner." Republican candidates By contrast, Dowd rarely feminized the all-male Republican field, and Media Matters found no instances of her doing so with McCain this election cycle since January 2007. (In her April 30, 2000, column, Dowd compared McCain to Diana Ross and called him "McDiva.") In a September 9, 2007, column in which Dowd did appear to question the masculinity of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson (as well as President Bush), she also referred to McCain and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as "tough guys." Dowd has made several references to Giuliani's appearing in public in women's clothes, and in her January 27, column, she wrote of Giuliani's faltering campaign: "I longed for the Manhattan diva to reprise Maria Callas doing one of her famous Donizetti mad scenes that he loved so much." But Dowd has also used gendered language in contrasting Democrats with Republicans -- at times suggesting that Giuliani is tougher and more masculine than Obama and Edwards. In her September 16, 2007, column, for example, Dowd juxtaposed Giuliani with the "comely" Obama and Edwards, who -- she wrote -- seemed to be "hiding behind their wives' skirts" in their campaigns against Clinton. Dowd then added: "Enter Rudy. He may wear skirts, but he's not afraid to take down a skirt." She continued: He put up an ad Friday on his campaign Web site slamming her as a hypocrite for running an antiwar campaign after supporting the president on the authorization for war. Obama has been trying to make this point for quite a while, but so gingerly that every time he sneaks up on it, Hillary surges ahead. Rudy doesn't do ginger. Hillary has been trying to Rudy-up, corralling ground zero and playing the fear card, saying that if there were a terrorist attack before the election, only she could stop Republicans from keeping the White House. But Rudy aims to de-Rudy her. His ad is an instant cult classic, with a solemn trumpet that is reminiscent of "Taps" and a narrator who sounds like the guy who does trailers for "In a World Gone Wrong" disaster flicks. Just when Hillary was basking in her reinvention of herself, Rudy sprang out of the Republican primary shadows and shoved her back. He ignores her attempts to be New Hillary, a senator who loves men in uniform, who is not afraid to use military power, and who is tough enough to deal with bin Laden. He recasts her as Old Hillary, a Code Pink pinko first lady and opportunist from a White House that had a reputation for having a flower-child distaste for the military, a left-wing shrew who made a secret socialist health care plan and let gays into the military and certainly can't be trusted to fight the jihadists. Later in the column, Dowd wrote that while Giuliani can't campaign on policy issues, "he can be the only man in the field tough enough to slap around a woman," adding, "The irony is that if you could loosen up Hillary with a few Jack and gingers, she would probably be closer to her reinvention than to his caricature. She probably secretly supports the surge, knowing that after it sputters, she may reap the whirlwind. And then the Republicans, who have lied, stalled and mismanaged in every way imaginable, will paint her as Ms. Cut and Run, turning her back on the military again." Similarly, Dowd introduced her November 18, 2007, column, by writing: "The debate dominatrix knows how to rattle Obambi. Mistress Hillary started disciplining her fellow senator last winter, after he began exploring a presidential bid. ... She has continued to flick the whip in debates. She usually ignores Obama and John Edwards backstage, preferring to chat with the so-called second-tier candidates." Dowd concluded her column by stating: "Hillary has her work cut out for her. Rudy will not be so easy to spank." Media Matters found no instances in which Dowd used gendered language to describe former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. All references to McCain, Giuliani, Romney, Thompson, and Huckabee between January 1, 2007 and June 8, 2008, are listed below. Date John McCain     6/8/08 And Hillary did it to Obama's detriment with her female fan base, stirring up such fury that some women are still vowing to jump to John McCain, even if it means voting against their self-interest.     6/4/08 Barry has been trying to shake off Hillary and pivot for quite a long time now, but she has managed to keep her teeth in his ankle and raise serious doubts about his potency. Getting dragged across the finish line Tuesday night by Democrats who had had enough of the rapacious Clintons, who had decided, if it came to it, that they would rather lose with Obama than win with Hillary, the Illinois senator tried to celebrate at the St. Paul arena where Republicans will anoint John McCain in September. [...] Clintonologists know that Hillary is up to something, but they aren't sure what. Theory No. 1 is that it's the Cassandra "I told you so" gambit: She believes intensely that he's too black, too weak and too elitist -- with all his salmon and organic tea and steamed broccoli -- to beat her pal John McCain. But she has to pretend she'll do "whatever it takes," even accept the vice presidency, a job she's already had and doesn't want again, so that nobody will blame her when he loses on Nov. 4. Then she can power on to 2012. Theory No. 2 is that it's a "Bad stuff happens" maneuver, exemplified in her gaffe about the R.F.K. assassination, that she figures that at least if she moves a few blocks from Embassy Row to the Naval Observatory, she'll be a heartbeat away from the job she's always wanted. Either way, by broadcasting that she's open to being Obama's running mate, she puts public pressure on him similar to the sort of pressure Walter Mondale was under from rampaging feminists when he put Geraldine Ferraro on the ticket. Mondale ended up seeming henpecked, as Obama would seem if he caved to the women who say they will write in Hillary's name or vote for anti-choice McCain before they'd vote for Obama.     5/28/08 "Hey, Bill, please, stop wagging your finger at me. Call off Harold Ickes and the Hillaryland Huns. You're right. I can't win without her. The two of us can clean McCain's grandfather clock." [Note: This transcript is fictionalized.]     5/25/08 The macabre story of 2008 is that the vice presidential picks are important. On the Republican side, it's because of John McCain's age and history of skin cancer, and that's openly discussed.     5/21/08 "Besides that, Hillary. Seriously, you don't want your delusion to put John McCain in the White House. Or maybe you do. You have no shot. I'm 60 delegates away from nomination nirvana. You should stop stalking me. I come down to Florida for a victory lap and you follow me down here and call for a recount. Look what that did for Al Gore. If you show a shred of common sense and take a powder now, the party will put you on a pedestal." [...] "Tell me about it. But he'd be way over on Massachusetts Avenue, a completely different ZIP code than the White House. And Cheney built that underground bunker there, so we'd always have someplace to stash him. If you don't put me on the ticket, I'll signal my faithful to vote for John McCain. He's more fun than you, anyhow." [Note: This transcript is fictionalized.]     5/14/08 Obama breezed through West Virginia, the state he couldn't charm even wearing a flag pin and promising to invest in "clean coal." Fast Barry shot some pool Monday afternoon at Schultzie's Billiards in South Charleston, including prophetically sinking an eight-ball in the pocket, and then fled from Hillary territory to pursue white, blue-collar workers in battleground states and convince them not to vote for John McBush.     4/27/08 James Clyburn, the influential black congressman from South Carolina, says that some blacks are buying into the 2012 Tonya Harding conspiracy theory: that the Clintons know they can't beat Obama this time, so they are "hell-bound," as Clyburn put it, to shred him so he'll lose to McCain and Hillary will be able to try again in 2012 -- when McCain is 76.     4/23/08 But the Democrats watch in horror as Hillary continues to scratch up the once silvery sheen on Obama, and as John McCain not only consolidates his own party but encroaches on theirs by boldly venturing into Selma, Ala., on Monday to woo black voters. [...] The Democrats are eager to move on to an Obama-McCain race. But they can't because no one seems to be able to show Hillary the door. Despite all his incandescent gifts, Obama has missed several opportunities to smash the ball over the net and end the game. Again and again, he has seemed stuck at deuce. He complains about the politics of scoring points, but to win, you've got to score points.     4/20/08 Like Bill, John McCain has his hot-headed flashes and struggles to stay cool.     4/9/08 Many words hovered Tuesday in the Senate - including some pointed ones by the woman and two men vying to be commander in chief. But the words seemed trapped in a labyrinth leading nowhere. [...] Condi is too busy floating trial balloons about being John McCain's running mate to bother about the fact that she was instrumental in two historic blunders: 9/11 and Iraq. [...] John McCain seemed to repeat his recent confusion over tribes, mistakenly referring to Al Qaeda again as a "sect of Shiites" before correcting himself and saying: "or Sunnis or anybody else."     4/6/08 John McCain's saucy mother says her boy was always a scamp and a hell-raiser. And one of the senator's great charms is that he wore those appellations proudly. So it was quite disheartening Thursday to see a McCain spokeswoman telling The Associated Press, in a story about how Cindy McCain helped her husband's political career bloom with her multimillion-dollar fortune from the family beer business, that the senator is a virtual teetotaler. ''Senator McCain rarely, if ever, drinks alcohol,'' Jill Hazelbaker averred. McCain's pals know him as a man who enjoys libations of vodka with little green cocktail olives. Over the years, at dinners with reporters, I noted he had the habit of ordering one double vodka and sipping it slowly. And there was that famous Hillary-McCain Estonian drink-off in 2004, when Hillary instigated a vodka shot contest and McCain agreed with alacrity (even though he later offered a sketchy denial). Maybe now that he's the presumptive Republican nominee, his campaign wants to put his vices in a vise and sanitize the wild side of the man whose nicknames in high school were ''Punk,'' ''Nasty'' and ''McNasty.'' Next they'll deny he likes to gamble in Vegas (''I'll put $50,000 on Bomb Iran, with 3-to-1 odds''), socialize with liberals and lash out at people who annoy him. (As a toddler, he had ''tiny'' rages. ''I would go off in a mad frenzy and then, suddenly, crash to the floor unconscious,'' he wrote. His parents would drop him into a bathtub of icy water.) If his campaign is bowdlerizing, let's hope it stops before he's a bland McNice. [...] Do we really need McCain obfuscating on drinking, and Obama putting up a smoke screen on smoking? [...] In his book and last week's bio-tour, McCain painted himself as a cool bad boy. He was a girl-loving, authority-defying, plane-crashing Top Gun. In his memoir, Obama played up his vices to depict himself as a cool bad boy, too, recalling that he had smoked pot and done ''a little blow.'' But now the two men are sticking to the straight and narrow. Everyone may imagine that Obama and his press corps spend all their time quaffing Champagne and celebrating the astonishment of his very being. But the candidate is boringly abstemious -- and reporters traveling with him find him aloof. On a 2005 trip to Russia, he priggishly requested that his vodka shot glass be filled with water.     3/30/08 Pas si vite, mon vieux. In terms of style, the Obamas could give Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a run for her euros. And at least Obama is not in a fantasy world on Iraq, as W. and John McCain are, insisting it's improving while we see it exploding.     3/26/08 Even some Clinton loyalists are wondering aloud if the win-at-all-costs strategy of Hillary and Bill -- which continued Tuesday when Hillary tried to drag Rev. Wright back into the spotlight -- is designed to rough up Obama so badly and leave the party so riven that Obama will lose in November to John McCain. If McCain only served one term, Hillary would have one last shot. On Election Day in 2012, she'd be 65. Why else would Hillary suggest that McCain would be a better commander in chief than Obama, and why else would Bill imply that Obama was less patriotic -- and attended by more static -- than McCain?     3/23/08 Extolling John McCain as ''an honorable man,'' and talk
