Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy.

The joke's on Maureen Dowd. Pampered, spoiled and sheltered by the powerful men who surround and enable her, MoHo spears her competitors with genuinely funny barbs. The self absorbed Dowd cannot see that it is she who looks like one nutty puppy to most people, who do not live in pricey enclaves and attend fancy parties with the swells.

Think, as your average voter might. who looks battier. A stable, long married Sarah Palin, or a thin lipped, acerbic  Maureen Dowd. A dewy skinned Palin, still firm and slender, or a prudish, crepe skinned, droopy bosomed Dowd? You can almost hear her cackle like the Wicked Witch of the West as she tried to lock Sarah away from the world.

Yes, it's personal. Because it is so personal, The New York Times hides behind reinforcements when going after Sarah. Gail Collins balances Dowd's screechy spinsterism with a mom jeans I know what you're up to buddy admonition.

 if she’s starting to run, it will be as the same reporter-avoiding, generalization-spouting underachiever that she was last time around.

Arrogance creates blind spots. MoHo and Sista Collins are bumper carting around in the blind spots. One thing for certain. There are more Americans, men and women, like Sarah Palin than there are like MoHo and Sista Collins. And a gun toting Sarah Palin has more appeal than a cocktail circuit trampin MoHo.

Go around them, Sarah! Put everything on Facebook and Twitter. Do things your way. You don't need the fossilized remnants of the late great media. No one reads them anyway.

MoHo, her friends and colleagues have built their own Neverland, complete with rides and exotic animals (like themselves). Isolated and unaware, more creepy than creative, the rest of us look on in horror as they willfully self destruct. What new shock wave will the Washington Post, New York Times or ABC unleash?

It will be fun to watch Sarah Palin fight back. Maybe the Wicked Witch will melt into a puddle before our eyes.
