Maureen Dowd: fiction writer?
Do you get this? A supposed opinion piece in the NY Time by MD is really a short bit of fiction that contains a conspiratorial meeting between H. Clinton and McCain. They toss back vodka and congratulate themselves on have done down Obama. Georgia was part of the plot, it turns out, since Bill convinced Putin to go for it.

Now, for sheer Hillary hatred MD gets top marks with, for example,

It would have been better to put this language in the platform: “A woman who wildly mismanages and bankrupts a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar campaign operation, and then blames sexism in society, will dampen the dreams of our daughters.”

So now she’s run out of opinons in which she can invest her ire, so she’s trying fiction?

2. Stay tuned for tv series
"Gossip Girl"unfortunately is a hit, and won't be needing MoDo

3. MoDo lives in a parallel universe to the parallel universe
MoDo's been doing imaginary conversations for at least the past decade. Below is MoDo Roomba, which I constructed once I finally realized that the typical Dowd column followed not the traditional outline format but the cleaning algorithm of the Roomba vacuum cleaner.

4. Is it acceptable to refer to a woman as a "dick"?
If so, than Maureen Dowd is a dick.:P

5. When will someone grab her and slap her silly?
She is as much in a bubble, if not more, than Bush. She writes crap and it's supposed to have the gravitas of the New York Freaking Times behind it. When will someone knock this idiot to the curb and tell her she knows nothing? Because it's obvious now that reasoning and words can't get through her drunken haze.

7. That's called satire.
Don't hurt yourself looking it up.
