When Hillary Clinton Killed Feminism

[Divernan]

34. MoDo criticized Clintons when criticizing them wasn't cool!

I have on the whole enjoyed her work. She's acerbic and she pokes fun at politicians on both sides of the aisle. But, hey, she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1999:

Maureen Dowd of The New York Times
For her fresh and insightful columns on the impact of President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky.

And Fox News/Washington Times hate her!

Ms. Dowd provided what many thought was the coup de grace against Ms. Miller when she wrote that column about her then-colleague at The New York Times, excoriating Ms. Miller for her coverage of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction WMD) leading up to the Iraq war.

Ms. Miller, you see, had done the unthinkable. She reported what her investigation found on the issue, which also happened to be what the Bush administration and scores of other governments had also determined: Saddam was pursuing a WMD program and an untold number of those weapons were developed and undeclared.

As her fellow liberal colleagues piled on Ms. Miller, Ms. Dowd’s column, dripping in ridicule and moral authority, condemned the reporter for being a “stenographer” for the Bush administration.

Ms. Dowd complained Ms. Miller’s work “fit too perfectly” with what the White House had been asserting about WMD. In other words, Ms. Dowd accused Ms. Miller of being too close to her subject, essentially of colluding with others, of selling out to make someone happy or to further a shared agenda.

And from Wikipedia:
Dowd became a columnist on The New York Times Op-Ed page in 1995,[2][3] replacing Anna Quindlen,[7] who left to become a full-time novelist.[11] Dowd was named a Woman of the Year by Glamour magazine in 1996,[3] and won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize, for distinguished commentary.[2] She won The Damon Runyon Award for outstanding contributions to journalism in 2000,[12] and became the first Mary Alice Davis Lectureship speaker (sponsored by the School of Journalism and the Center for American History) at The University of Texas at Austin in 2005.[13] In 2010, Dowd was ranked #43 on The Daily Telegraph's list of the 100 most influential liberals in America; in 2007, she was ranked #37 on the same list.[14]
