A stopped clock is right twice a day. Dowd gets nothing from me but my contempt.

That column almost makes me want to forgive MoDo. Doesn't quite get there.

She jumped the shark a long time ago. This doesn't do her any credit, either.

Bravo!

John, I can't say anything because I'm getting alot of hurt from these sweet people. It's really strong. This is not helpful.

OK, fine, you want to elect McShrub, I've also said that's fine by me. Actually, that's my prefered outcome. I have such a dim view of the American people I have always said that's what they deserve. I doesn't matter to me but I like my friends so I've been there for that.

And 911 was an inside job. Mossad did it. Cheney wasn't involved with that but knew and he was hugely impressed and he's trying to do other small time false flags after that like the nuke missiles here and shooting up and murdering other US troops to start an Iran war and in Georgia with that.

With Hill and Bill, don't rule anything out. They are the epitome of naked ambition and will do whatever they have to do to promote themselves -- the rest of us be damned.
Unfortunately, MoDo is right on.

I couldn't read past "finger Hillary...." My mind wandered for a second and I threw up in my mouth a little....
Cold chills and shivers....but yes, a great column and so very, sadly, true....

i don't trust the Clintons at all, but i also don't trust MoDo. she uses a supposed attack on the Clintons to take GOP swipes at Obama..."buyer's remorse" and shit like that

I love AmericaBlog and have supported Obama for President since his speech at the 2004 convention, and I loathed Hillary's campaign against Obama and sometimes loathed her.
However, I'm extremely glad that media sexism was mentioned in the platform, as I think demeaning half the population and 3/5's of our Democratic base needs to stop last century. I disagree with the mention being tied in with Hillary's loss, if that indeed is how it was written.
Even with the tie-in, I would be glad it's there.

John- I love you, but what an inane post. We all know that Maureen Dowd is among the most powerful communicators of the bogus campaign "narratives" that inevitably distort our elections. This post is exactly the sort of the thing that helps validate the destruction she wreaks. The fact that she occasionally sasses Hillary Clinton doesn't warrant even tepid praise.

I always like reading Maureen Dowd's articles.
I'm with Dowd on that whole leaking of campaign memos crap! I think the Clinton campaign should be severely punished for that obvious blindside to Obama. You don't see losing Republicans leaking their campaign memos after their losses. Its outrageous, and the Clintons should pay a price for trying to hurt our party's candidate before the general election!

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Dowd is a horrible person who writes crazy columns that lower the discourse in the country. She writes about what she "assumes" people think and what she "imagines" what politicians "might be" thinking or doing. This is not helpful. For someone who is a supposed left-wing hero, she spends an inordinate amount of ink slandering people like Clinton (both Bill and Hillary), Al Gore, and even Barack Obama. Her innuendos and imaginary stories don't help Democrats or thinking people.
Don't we deserve better than a woman who's idea of witty and insightful is to call compare Obama and Hillary to Bambi and Godzilla? Those are the kind of comparisons small children come up with, and shouldn't come from a NY Times Columnist.

our party's being held hostage by old feminists with dried up eggs who don't care that McCain wants to appoint judges like Scalia and Roberts

I wish MoDo would start on McCain! Her fabulous pieces on Bush during his first term, were a real trip! I couldn't wait for the next one! She seemed to get tired of him and went back to writing about the Clintons! Oh well! we do have Frank Rioh!

This ridiculously sharp and on-point blog (of which I am an avid follower) takes a lengthy stride backward every time it highlights the writing of Maureen Dowd. Her sophomoric prattle is entertaining enough when searching for a smug laugh. More often than not, she blathers on at length regarding topics that do anything BUT raise the level of public discourse . . . all the while, going on for paragraphs at a time without offering anything new.
There was a time when I really enjoyed MoDo's columns - it was a decade ago, I was a teenager, and nothing in the world seemed all too serious.

MoDo's column is ridiculous. Let's not forget that she's gotta fill her slot even when she has nothing but bullshit to pimp.

From tonight's "Hardball" I learned that in 1992, Jerry Brown's supporters wanted HIS name put in nomination at the Democratic convention, and who should oppose it but the Clintons. Obviously it all depends on whose ox is being gored.

God, I love that woman (Dowd, not Clinton)...
All I know is that Obama has been more than nice (well, actually he's been a spineless wuss when it comes to Clinton and this convention) and yet it probably won't end up changing any of Clinton's most loyal supporters' minds anyway (especially those goofy PUMA kooks).
