1. Modo: useless as ever. n/t

[joeycola]

3. she is stirring up crap--its her agenda.

[Orsino]

6. And not even stirring it up.

She's reduced to making it up these days.

[joeycola]

12. You are spot on==she made up this fiction.

[marlakay]

2. I think its because his work is done with Bush senior

How could they give an award to Bill for the work he is doing now without also praising Bush at his side? And I don't think any Bush no matter what great work now could hope to get anything like that.

For Bill to win in the future he would have to separate himself from Bush.

4. How does the Times allow made up shit to be published week after week

under the excuse that its MoDo's column? Its disgraceful.

[marshall]

16. They certainly give her more latitude than Dan Rather got

CBS dumped him so fast it made our heads spin.

[Cha]

20. Why did the NYT allow the shit that judy miller

put out? Or any of the crap that comes out of there?

Mediawhores are divisive.

[rvablue]

37. And given their financial woes, why waste the hundreds of thousands of $$$

they probably pay her.

What is the point of dishing out a nice salary to a columnist who plagarizes bloggers and many times a year writes imaginary conversations and passes it off as political insight.

She's an idiot and an attention seeker.....a very sad, very pathetic, and way, way, way overpaid one at that.

Clinton must chuckle every time he sees "what he thinks" in her column. The woman is downright obsessed and it is very, very telling......:eyes:

5. I don't think it's Clinton she's slamming.

MoDo is at it again... :puke: Once in awhile she's pretty good. Mostly -- like today -- she's full of snarky crap.

[Cha]

21. Who is she slamming?

Sorry, I haven't read it yet..if I even do.

[Beacool]

27. She's slamming Obama by way of "Bill" and "W"'s fictitious conversation.

She's basically saying that Obama didn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, that Bill is jealous and angry that he didn't get it and that W is a doofus. A trifeca for vitriolic MoDo by slamming all three presidents at once.

7. What a moron

Her and Michelle Bachmann have a lot in common.

[eShirl]

8. I think she has it BAD for Bubba. n/t

[thefairone]

9. Her last column before this one was about Bill Clinton, too

Regarding infidelity.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Oh, screw you, Maureen Dowd. . .

I severely doubt that Bill Clinton cares two shits about you or what you think.

:freak:

[asjr]

11. What I found faulty with her column

is that it further keeps the Nobel Peace prize in the news. I realize her piece was satirical but it gives more time for Obama bashers to criticize. I replied to the column but they have never put me in their editor's selections. So I will not hold my breath. She writes this way to garner attention.

[liberalmuse]

13. Modo slamming the Clintons???

Shocking!!!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. Whenever I hear her speak I wonder why she doesn't use more "like" and "Whaateveer" in her articles.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. I. CANNOT. STAND. THIS. WOMAN. PERIOD!!!!!

[Jennicut]

17. This woman is a nasty piece of work, period.

[lunatica]

18. She's still obsessed with the Clenis

It's hard to get over such a crush. She probably feels slighted since she's the only woman alive Bill didn't make a pass at. That's my problem with him too. What did I do wrong?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

19. Maureen Dowd must be jealous that the Clintons are more interesting than she is

[watercolors]

22. She is a useless bag of hot air!

Not much better than Anne Coulter.

[hatrack]

23. And you know what, MoDo? Bill Clinton STILL isn't going to ask you for a date!!!!

What a useless vacuum-bag of a hominid.

[Beacool]

24. She' actually slamming three presidents at once.

She's using "Bill" and "W"'s alter egos to express what she doesn't have the guts to say using her own voice.

She's deriding all three.

;(

[dionysus]

30. no worries Bea, don't let that scorned harpy bother you.

:hi:

[Beacool]

36. Banky ALL for me!!!!

:woohoo:


I'm not sharing!!!!

:mad:




:hug:

25. The most bored woman on earth

[msanthrope]

26. Alright Maureen, put down the Clenis and back away, slowly.

At some point, MoDo is going to have to forgive President Clinton for not lusting after her, and herself, for caring so goddamn much.

[dionysus]

29. modo has an obession with bill. those rumours might be true after all...

:shrug:

[ensho]

31. maybe she drinks, or, something

her sober written articles usually are spot on

but sometimes they are wacky

I'm still reading her

[Jakes Progress]

32. We need to ask Bill

to just cop a feel of the shrew next time she's near him. It's what she wants, and it would spare us her columns of patent jealousy.

[BootinUp]

33. I am so not surprised she would choose to

create another opportunity to criticize the Clintons. So boring.

[joeycola]

34. and she has resorted to making up dialogue!! what a hoot.

[LaydeeBug]

35. LayDeeBug: Maureen Dowd must be jealous that she wasn't Monica. nt

[bluestateguy]

38. Typical Georgetown Cocktail Party nonsene

from Mo Dowd, obsessed with the Clintons.
