not because they were Democrats but because they weren't
Washington DC elite...she thought they were common, no pedigree....how dare they go where they clearly didn't belong (Dowd in't exactly descended from royalty but she is the ultimate social climber)...she loved Bush I...didn't care for Bush II..pretty sure she wasn't much of an Obama fan...had more to do with color than ideology..Dowd's columns are a reflection of her...vindictive snarky grievances...she needs to go away and she can take Andrea Mitchell with her...I sometimes think Andrea and Maureen are the same person...
