After seeing that interview, I realized that IS Maureen Dowd's smile in the pic.........she showed NO emotion in either her voice or her face. She spoke and acted like a robot. She really is a cold fish.
Before she appears on air, Dowd sucks a lemon..
Good morning..up very early or very late?...The show was exquisite, especially the "jihad" crack...It was hard to hear, but after Mary said it..Gregory whimpered some lame line about " how bad it was to use that word"..Mary said something like "I'll bet you've been practising that line all week David."..Rush should have a field day with this stuff today
Tim, can I just speak up on a point that Paul made that I think is a good one, which is I think for the moment I’m the only one here representing the White House press corps. I think one of the things we may have missed this week is a little bit more empathy for the vice president, given what he went through. This is a terrible incident for two people, one of whom happened to be the vice president. I think we missed that a little bit in all of this questioning. I do think the vice president gave voice to that personal pain extremely well this week, which is why, I for one, was so pleased to see him speak publicly about it and, you know, why I think it would have been useful to speak about it more quickly.
Yeah right! I am sure the WHPC would have been a lot more sympathetic if Cheney had just talked to them personally.

Mary Matalin: “You [The Press] Went on a Jihad” (VIDEO)
On Meet the Press this morning, the roundtable that included Mary Matalin, David Gregory, Maureen Dowd, and Paul Gigot, discussed the importance, or lack of importance, of the Cheney hunting incident. David Gregory, the White House Press correspondent, apologized for the on and off camera fit he threw with Scott McCllelan, noting his wife made him do it. Matalin duked it out with both Gregory and Dowd at several points because the former noted the bias the press has towards this administration. Dowd kept trying to excuse that because they are so secretive, and David hid behind the “it’s my job” argument. Matalin, who finally got fed up with Gregory and the press hiding their bias, said that “you [the press] went on a jihad”. Thank you, somebody had to say it, and I am glad it was Mary Matalin.
can't figure out, early or late, but oh what fun to be up to catch MSNBC just a few seconds go, replay David Gregory's first comments on Meet The Press, apologizing. MSNBC's John Seigenthalter (sp) called the Cheney shooting their "cover story" and presidential historian Beschloss said events like this are often what's remembered about our leaders.
Mo Dowd has a wonderful plastic surgeon.
Even if you look closely, you cannot see the clothes pin she has on her nose while she speaks.
Thumb in the eye anyone? LOL
The Caller-Times sticks it to the WHPC, you've got to love this.
The question that really needs to be asked...
Can a reporter married to a Clintonista ethically provide fair coverage of the Administration? David Gregory proves he cannot and needs reassignment.
I wouldn't exactly call her hot, but I do find her attractive, and I don't agree that she has evil in her eyes or anything like that. I think she's a sad case. She reminds me of certain smart girls I remember from my youth; on the borderline between really smart and just pseudo-intellectual, very much wanting to be taken seriously but lacking a big-picture view that would make their observations interesting.
I think she's so hung up on her worship of all things iconoclastic that she's turned her back on her own humanity. Now she's in her mid fifties and all she has to show for it is lots of money and a circle of glamorous, powerful, interesting friends. In short, she has the life she always dreamed of, she's the victim of answered prayers.
I mostly find her a tragic figure, and I confess to feeling a certain degree of sympathy for her. She's a pseudo-intellectual who's succeeded in building a pseudo-life for herself, while her friends have families, and her friend's dogs have families (borrowed that line from the movie Me and You and Everyone We Know).

My Greataunt worked for the Caller. It is a very good newspaper.
Maybe when Howard Gregory grows up, he can land a job at the Caller-Times.
