Maureen Dowd Op-Ed

I had hoped I was finally done with acting as an interpreter for politicians whose relationship with the English language was tumultuous. There’s W.’s gummy grammar, of course, like the classic, “Is our children learning?” And covering the first Bush White House required doing simultaneous translation for a president who never met a personal pronoun he liked or a wacky non sequitur he could resist. And that, doggone it, brings us to a shout-out for the latest virtuoso of Frontier Baroque... Read Full Story

By MAUREEN DOWD WASHINGTON, D.C. - While Obama was spending three hours watching “The Dark Knight” five time zones away, and going to a fund-raiser featuring “Aloha attire” and Hawaiian pupus, Hillary was busy planning her convention. You can almost hear her mind whirring: She’s amazed at how easy it was to snatch Denver away from the Obama saps. Like taking candy from a baby, except Beanpole Guy doesn’t eat candy. In just a couple of weeks, Bill and Hill were able to drag No Drama Obama... Read Full Story

In a column in today's New York Times, Maureen Dowd attempts to portray what appears to be a potentially very offensive book about the first lady, Laura Bush, as just another book that anyone might read. With utter unctuousness Ms. Dowd says, "It’s the sort of novel Laura Bush might curl up with in the White House solarium if it were not about Laura Bush. It would be interesting to hear how that lover of fiction feels about being the subject of fiction." This is an incredible, unsupported... Read Full Story

When Maureen Dowd is good she is very, very good. But when Maureen Dowd is bad she's rotten.Whether it's shellacking Hillary Clinton or ridiculing various limp-wristed Liberal girly men, she's not happy unless she's snarky. She's loves to bare her teeth and rip the flesh as she belittles and ridicules the subjects she deems inferior.She's also insanely hard on women in powerful positions to the point that if she were a man she'd most undoubtedly would be a misogynist. But since she's a woman... Read Full Story

In today's New York Times, Maureen Dowd writes perhaps the most offensive editorial I've read in a long time; and I wade my way through the Washington Post's editorial page every so often. My favorite part: "As de facto veep for Bill, she had enough leverage over him, due to his shenanigans, to co-opt huge chunks of policy and personnel decisions. But in a return engagement with Obama at the top, could she really wake up every day in the back seat and wish him well, or would she just be... Read Full Story

Mo Dowd still hasn't gotten all the Hillary hate out of her system.  She will throw in some Clinton-bashing as a non sequitur if she's a little short on her op-ed word-count.  Like an excitable chihuahua who can't stop barking even when whatever started her barking is long gone, she continues to have petit mal outburts of Hillaryphobia at fairly regular intervals, even though Hillary's shooting star's buried somewhere at the botoom of the ocean. In her op-ed in today's Times, she poo-poos... Read Full Story
