No amount of outside criticism could damage Maureen Dowd like this childish piece of profound embarrassment.
There is just nothing I can add to this, other than my expression of amazement. No matter the level of puerile trash I've seen from her before, this one descends to new depths. Has she no friends at the Times who could have charitably rejected this piece?
THE IMMUTABLE LAW OF DOWD: The most important rule is what might be termed the People magazine principle: All political phenomena can be reduced to caricatures of the personalities involved. Any reference to policy concerns or even to old-fashioned politicking is, like, so passé. And, of course, with every caricature goes a nickname.
Laz, pleeeeeeeaaaaaaase tell us you didn't mean it that way.....
The woman is flat out mentally ill and needs to, A) retire B) be fired.
She' dating that Aaron Sorkin. You know the guy who writes and produces the WEST WING and was busted for Cocaine use? Nuff said.
Wot, that I pole-vaulted Helen?
Yes, I must admit.
I did Helen Thomas.
But in my defense: I thought I was porking a bullfrog.
Idiocy, thy name is Maureen Dowd.
Maureen Dowd is Anna Nicole Smith without the hooters or the amusing sense of humor!
Ah. So, in other words, then: MoDo's already having herself a white Christmas, essentially... :)
Well, at least Dowd has Anna Nicole Smith's sobriety.
Of course, you might just let them know that you are a 97 year old woman who lives in Paris Texas earning $400,000 a year. That's what they think when ModelBreaker signs on. I'm sure the demographics are very useful for them.
Yes. Exactly. It's the only explanation.
Shoot. I'm 97 too. But I'm from paris texas and I make a really nice living off of the oil royalties my late husband left me, bless his soul.
Yes, it's embarrassing all right. If I were an advisor to a high school newspaper and received something like this, I'd say, "It's not funny or clever; if you have criticisms of Rumsfeld, express them in a way that won't embarrass yourself or this newspaper. For your own sake, we're not printing this; it might come back to haunt you some day."
I'm not positive about this, I don't follow the gossip stuff, but I do think he dumped her.
I remember seeing something about him and somone else, and I know she made a referance to being single recently.
She's always been vastly over-rated, but when you look at this Rummy column,and the one about ripping the face of Frosty the Snowman, it's obvious that she has departed the world of the sane (and she was never a member of the world of the talented).
Man, if that's true then she's definitely drinking herself into a tizzy. Is anyone keeping track of how many high profile men have dumped her? OUCH. (I'm gonna go google it now!!!!)
Would you like to buy a nice hat?
