Does Dowd hit the bottle alot?

[spoiler2]

I once knew a writer who insisted that he wrote his best stuff after a few drinks.

Trouble was, he also liked to go to bars, get drunk and argue with people. They found him beat-up, dead, behind a bar one morning! Absolutely true story.

"Does Dowd hit the bottle alot?"

Naaa....she's just naturally stupid!

[Fintan]

For some odd reason Spiro Agnew's quote about 'effete, intellectual snobs' comes to mind...

[McGavin999]

There is, presumably, less chortling now that U.S. troops have killed his sons. At least from Saddam.

ZING! I think poor old Dowdy is going through the change, she's just so irrational lately.

[OpusatFR]

She still writing? Haven't read her scribbles in years.
Hate to waste time on inconsequential blatherings.

A nice dressing down of the bitc* from the NYT. And it looked so easy.

Yup, it is so nice to have Conservative women on our team who can go toe to toe with the dingbats on the left without being called sexist.

Anne and Michelle are both good, and of course there are others, but it is still nice to see a new up-and-coming Conservative pundit stretch her wings.

I will be looking for more from this writer in the future.

Certainly Ms. Dowd is a leftist, but she did have some biting commentary about Mr. Clinton. For the life of me I cannot remember any of the specifics, but I do remember emailing a couple of them to friends, commenting that everyone must realize what a crook Clinton is if even the left wing columnists (not Safire) were blistering him as much as Dowd was doing.

I do not mean to take issue with Ms. Blixt or with the Weekly Standard on anything she says in the column. In fact, I suppose that I am agreeing that Ms. Dowd can be snide. In some fairness to her, she has discharged her snideness in both directions.

Discrediting Dowd is shooting fish in a barrel. It's easy for anyone who is willing to take on the disgusting task of reading through her columns over time and comparing them.

So does Buchanen's line delivered by Agnew...Nattering Nabobs of Nihilism....

[PianoMan]

Nattering Nabobs of Negativism...and that was by Safire!

[PianoMan]

Allow me...

[Ole Okie]

That's Dowdy?

Gosh, I never realized......

She is an identical twin to Zeta, right?

[xzins]

the coolly efficient Bush commanders have now been exposed as short-term tacticians who had no strategy for dealing with a war of liberation that morphed into a war of attrition

Dowd is ignorant of how the miltary works.

Underlying a specific plan or strategy is a doctrine that covers wide contingencies....to include doctrine of peacemaking inside newly liberated, hostile nations.

Besides there has long been a plan for restoration in Iraq. The first hint of that was when the initial overseer of reconstruction (Gen. Garner?) showed up. Reconstruction involved a variety of issues: infrastructure, commercial systems, oil production systems, governmental systems, social service systems, medical systems, educational systems, etc. If someone would bother putting the charts up on these subjects, we'd see that amazing progress has been made in all of these. But no one will report on them. Because of that, Dowd gets a free pass with her lying. No one has the info to counter her.

[Patriotic Bostonian]

Dowd is a dried up old maid and she knows it. Very, very bitter woman. Poor Maureen.....

[Search4Truth]

What she needs is a man. But no man will have her, for more than an hour or so, maybe less.

[Rodney King]

Somebody here has a quick and easy explanation of Dowd's pshychosis. Is that you Miss Marple?
