Maureen Dowd has COMPLETELY lost it......

[dennis4868]

Her latest editorial.....http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/10/opinion/10dowd.html?_r=1&ref=opinion

Andrew Sullivan (a Republican) response.....http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/11/the-big-lie-ii.html

It's like Dowd just finnished watching FOX News for 48 straight hours and then wrote her editorial. The editorial was full of lies and simply followed the narrative the media is pushing on us. Andrew Sullivan has a way about himself of putting people in their place WITH THE FACTS!

1. I think she is related to tweedy...

[cyr330]

2. I haven't read her since Clinton was in the WH.

Her whorish editorials were so pro-Repig during the 90's. You would have thought she was going to fucking bust a gut simply b/c Clinton got a goddamned blow job.

[Nedsdag]

3. She never had it. n/t

[TwilightGardener]

4. Wow, outright lies--it's like someone stole her identity and wrote

a Freepy article with it. NYT should fire her. This is pure crap.

[madinmaryland]

5. Uhmm. Isn't she writing it from the POV of her puke brother?

"My Mom used to say, “When you’re blue, wear red.” America took that advice on Election Day, and you can color Kevin happy. My conservative brother celebrated by doing his year-end political letter early. Here is his tour d’horizon:"

:shrug:

[TwilightGardener]

11. Yeahh...I think she was just airing that point of view, mostly. Via literary device.

I think she just wanted to get it out there without having to refute it.

[Beaverhausen]

16. apparently no one else bothered to read that paragraph.

[anAustralianobserver]

20. That tricked me too - I think it was meant to - I thought she'd become a Tea Pod person!

(thanks to whoever here coined the term Tea Pod people)

[RBInMaine]

6. Obama raised WHAT taxes? You FUCKING SCUMBITCH LIAR ! PISS ON YOUR FACE !

[Imajika]

7. Sullivan is hardly a Republican...

He considers himself a sane libertarian/conservative, which means he isn't currently a Republican.

Andrew backed and has been extremely supportive of the President.

Saying that, his response here is excellent.

9. I tuned her out when she tried to destroy Gore during election 2000 n/t

[AlinPA]

10. She sounds like Ann Coulter or Limbaugh. Absolutely no difference. nt

[5X]

12. Can not a one of you read?

She is relating the letter of her conservative brother.

[impik]

18. Yea, but she's doing nothing to address the stupidity of it

[dennis4868]

22. I bet she doesn't even have a brother...

she is afraid to be the author of this crap but wants to get it out after watching FOX News for 48 straight hours....

[Trajan]

30. Look Dennis ...

Your original post is the 'crap' ....

It is clear from reading the WHOLE story that this editorial is written from the perspective of her BROTHER ....

You have a mommy and a daddy, dennis ? .... You have a brother or sister ?

You cannot imagine in your wildest dreams that Maureen Dowd MAY have a brother ? ...

Yet, you are creative enough to place her in front of a fucking television, watching a specific channel, for the outrageously long time of 48 straight hours ??? .... Trust me: Your accusation is far more ridiculous than a writer having a brother .....

Cmon .... I am pretty sure we know WTF the problem is here .... and it isn't Maureen Dowd OR her brother ....

You need to cop to the stupidity of one single person, and deliver an apology on this thread ...

You are extremely wrong, and you should unburden your ego of this error ...

[dennis4868]

35. Even if she does have a brother who is actually saying this crap....

who really gives a shit....does the NY Times
Trust me, she is speaking through a fake brother.....and you may be the only person on DU to defend this lady who is responsible for bringing down Al Gore back in 2000.

[Lord Magus]

29. She should have, you know. Pointed out that he's wrong.

And an idiot.

[FrenchieCat]

13. She never had it!

[Supersedeas]

36. Yep, same ole, same ole when the meds start and stop talking

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. Did she ever have it? She's an overrated hack who writes like some bitchy high school paper

columnist.

[Beaverhausen]

15. It's her brother's letter- read the first paragraph

[dennis4868]

23. I don't believe that for a second....

she is speaking through a made up person (a "brother") because she cannot admit she watches FOX News....

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. That's what I interpreted as well. But I still think she's a terrible writer. nt

[karynnj]

17. Most of it is written by her conservative brother

I think she does this every year.

The column is beyond useless other than as a summary of Fox News.

[sledgehammer]

19. self-delete n/t

[JamesA1102]

21. She lost it 10 years ago

when she and Frank Rich started lying about Al Gore.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. I believe that is attributed to her brother.

I've read alot of her columns, and I often disagree with her, but I've never seen her express anything remotely resemling the sentiments expressed there. But maybe she's been posing as someone else and she's now revealing her true identity. :shrug:

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

26. I don't understand why so many so-called liberals and Democrats like this woman!

Her writings about Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards and other Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, were incredibly disgusting!!!

[Mid_FL_voter]

27. Just like Palin

She is simply trying to make money. Period. The end.

[zulchzulu]

28. Someone I know in NYC who has run into her says she's a loud,skanky, angry drunk

I believe my friend.

[bluedigger]

31. Literary device FAIL.

By not refuting, she endorses.

[Jennicut]

32. The lady lost it YEARS ago when she put down Al Gore. She has been nuts since the 90's.

Maybe longer, who knows. She is a total jealous loser.

[rufus dog]

33. I don't read her stuff

But as long as she stays off TV in the short skirts I am happy. For the same reason I don't go to the beach in a speedo, first off it is wrong, secondly it ain't a pretty sight.

[Beacool]

34. I thought that she was using a literary device until the column sort of compliments Hillary.

No way that MoDo would ever say anything nice about the Clintons. Her brother Kevin must have really written it.

I see that obnoxiousness must be a family trait.
