Dowd and Douglas were an item but he traded her in for a newer model (Jones). It helps explain much of Dowd's shrillness and bitterness over the past couple years.

Wasn't it Dowd who cured him of his "Sex addiction"?

Didn't know Dowd could smile or look attractive. This sour picture mirrors her bitter and repulsive columns:

Maureen Dowd



Pulitzer prize winning columnist Maureen Dowd,
captured in a candid moment


(Dowd --- as you may have noticed from the Constitution's Viewpoints page,
                             which sometimes uses her columns --- enjoys tongue-in-cheek writing. The
                             day before George W. Bush's inauguration last month, the Constitution
                             published a column where she made up quotes from an inaugural planner
                             about how the Bush campaign wanted a return-to-the-Confederacy theme for
                             the festivities. It was intended to be funny. Some readers took it seriously. I
                             had to tell them it was a joke, just not a very good one.)

He was never a father to his first son with his first wife; he is just a sperm donor.

That reminds me of Liv and Steve Tyler - we always hear about Liv referred to as Steve's daughter. But what is little known is that she was raised by Todd Rundgren and her mother. Steve was MIA.

My prediction: we are going to see some very, VERY nasty Bush columns over the coming weeks. La Dowd has some sort of weird transference where she blames George Bush for Michael Douglas's dumping of her.

Note also the post#6 by Pokey78, which indicates that my comment that she was looking to queen it over everyone at her high school reunion was fairly close to the mark. HA!

I really, REALLY hope some overworked, mistreated mail room kid at the New York Times is printing these threads and leaving them on her desk.

As I said, I have no mercy when it coms to Dowd.

That's part of her problem but let me reach for the more obvious (not to Mo) reason:

Ms Dowd has a crush on GW himself!

Yes, little Mo, like most 'dowdy' gals in high school who wrote scornful articles for the school paper about 'lunk-headed' jocks like W, probably prayed every night that one of them would ask her out or even deign to speak to her. Trust me, I quit journalism because of these hypocrites (I hung out with the jocks dontcha know).

She excoriated the i42 in lieu of Mr. Douglas on matters of sex, but is has always been the 'jocks' that have turned-on but eluded the Dowdy one. She can never admit such 'improper' thoughts to herself, ergo her perennial PMS-like state.

Also, IMHO she also longs for non-squishy father/authority figures like Rummy and Cheney who represent the REAL MEN she has probably never attracted.

Schadenfreude never felt so good!

Indeed he was a jock. He played baseball and basketball. Cheerleading ws done at Andover, which had an all-male student body. He was not a sissy cheerleader.

No more sissy talk about a guy who uses a chainsaw!! Go to your room!

I agree with your theory. Perhaps W needs to invite her to dinner and turn on the charm, and perhaps introduce her to a nice widower or single guy in his circle of friends.

I am really mean, aren't I?

Marc Racicot was just on Fox, and I am once again struck by how many of the men in this administration are both pleasant and attractive. Surely we could find one for Mo! It would be our duty as patriotic Americans.

Speaking as an unmarried (but now very attached) male, I would suggest that Ms. Dowd would have as easy a time finding a date, as I would in having success panning for gold in my shower. The mystery is not why Michael Douglas left her. The mystery is how he could tolerate her in the first place.

Oh, and if Ms. Dowd is reading this, to rub salt in the wound: I rather delighted that it is a British woman who stole Mo's thunder.

Regards, Ivan

Actually, I think Michael Douglas was sent to woo her by Clinton, so that her columns would become less critical (they were very scathing on Clinton during the Monica scandal). Once Clinton escaped being thrown out of office, Douglas dumped her. I believe that part of her vendetta against Bush is that she thinks if she is really, REALLY mean to President Bush, Michael will come back.

That falls in the fat chance category, methinks.

LOL! I'm afraid that if she got W in a room alone she might whip out her thong, before being shown the door in degradation and humiliation...I like it!

And yes, you are mean. It comes easy when we red-blooded American gals have to defend our heroes from the likes of 'women' like Maureen.
