Thaaat's better...

[SoKatt]

CZJ is simply gorgeous.

(and boy, that Maureen Dowd is a bitter pill!)

[Dog]

This woman has some serious issues..

[El Conservador]

Dear Mo:

Bitterness is a bitch!!!

And now, I leave you with a "present"

[Jew4GWB]

And by the way, why does the NY Times have a columnist taking up space to rant about the chilling effects of Christmas when we're engaged in a global war against a different religion altogether? I won't hold my breath for a column on you-know-what-religion from Maureen.

[technomage]

Yup, liberalism IS a mental disease and she is terminal.

My God, I cannot imagine going through life hating EVERYTHING! I doubt Maureen Dowd has ever written anything that remotely resembles an upbeat story.

She is the perfect example of a liberal:

ALWAYS unhappy

ALWAYS mad

ALWAYS depressed

ALWAYS upset if others are happy

ALWAYS blaming others for her woes

ALWAYS blaming the USA

ALWAYS making the wicked witch of the East look good

ALWAYS wearing a frown

ALWAYS down in the dumps

ALWAYS spewing her same hatred for Christianity

ALWAYS looks in the mirror in the morning and thinks "How can I feel more miserable than usual today"

ALWAYS pissed if others are successful

Liberalism: Boy am I happy I avoided that terminal disease!! Can you imagine going through life completely miserable all the time??

[Dog]

It might be exacerbated by the stress I feel when I think of all the money I've spent on lavishing boyfriends with presents over the years, guys who are now living with other women who are enjoying my lovingly picked out presents which I'm no doubt still paying for in credit card interest charges.

She is still hung up on Michael Douglas....LOL!

[TopQuark]

Her case is straight from a psychiatrist's handbook. And the readers of NYT can't' get enough of her.

Dowd hates Christmas
_______________________________________________________________

I am sure Santa Claus isn't exactly enthralled with her either. Those reindeer however.......

[speedy]

I think MoDo is either on the verge of a complete breakdown or a political conversion. Her recent columns (which I only see on FR) have been focused on her family to a very personal degree. I know she intends to be humorous, but she seems to be almost surreal lately, well beyond her normal Bush-bashing obsession. She is even unhappier than Ellen Goodman or Eleanor Clift, but unlike those two, I believe there is some minuscule outside chance that Dowd could switch sides. It's almost like she wants to be more attuned with the rest of her family.

[RandallFlagg]

Yeah. Isn't that cute!

[E=MC²]

Happy Holidays Maureen

Don't you mean Merry Christmas, Maureen???

[Luddite Patent Counsel]

She sounds like a bundle o' fun at the Christmas party. How many times do you suppose she gets the "I'm-searching-desparately-over-your-shoulder-for-someone- (anyone!)-less-psychotic-to-talk-to" looks while trying to chat?

[ken5050]

Now, that's what I call "broad"band..

[GSlob]

"Her whole family sounds kewl, what happened to her?"
Must have been dropped by a nurse...

[libs_kma]

"I have to be stressed about the fact that my holiday stress might cause me to turn into an old bat

Don't look now MoDo, but......

[Howlin]

I think this article was done tongue-in-cheek and she isn't serious.

You've new around here, right?

She's dead serious.

[somerville]

I didn't read it as tongue-in-cheek at all. I think she is bitter and depressed. This column belongs in a woman's magazine like Glamour or Cosmoand not in the Times.

The crack she made about her ex-boyfriends who are now living with other women was the most revealing line of the piece. I am surprised that the Times allowed her to include it......maybe she feels bad because she doesn't have a date for New Years and doesn't have her own kids.

I read that she was dating Aaron Sorkin who wrote "West Wing" ( he also had problems with cocaine)but now he has been seen, according to gossip columns, with a bevy of hot young things.

Wonder what's up with Dowd ? All of a sudden she's writing about her family a lot..

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

So now, on top of all the stress related to having a president and vice president who scared us to death about terrorists to get re-elected, I have to be stressed about the fact that my holiday stress might cause me to turn into an old bat...

Too late.

[mcenedo]

Holidays depress her because she is single and beyond the age of hope.

She is a bitter about herself and it is reflected in her screeds.
