20. MoDo is obsessed with the Clintons.

She particularly seems to hate Hillary with a passion. The NY grapevine always wondered if MoDo had a thing for Bill and he didn't look her way. We all know that Michael Douglas dropped her like a hot potato once he met Catherine. Dowd is a bitter and nasty woman.

Dowd's animus for the Clintons goes back decades and in that time, she's never shied away from peddling conservative lies about Hillary. In 2008, Clark Hoyt, then the public editor of the Times, noted the volume of Dowd's "gender-laden assault on Clinton" which was the focus of "28 of 44 columns" written before June of that year.

Yep, that's how I remember her columns of that period. Week after week of vile and putrid pap directed at Hillary.

Yet nowhere does she mention the product of the Clinton Foundation's efforts, like the fact that "5 million people" and "500,000 children" around the world now "have access to low cost, high quality AIDS treatments." That is insignificant compared to Dowd's disgust for having to "read the words Ira Magaziner again."

The above is IMO the greatest achievement of the foundation. Millions of people are alive today thanks to its efforts in getting pharmaceutical companies to lower the price of ARVs (From $600 to $60 per person).

Thanks for the link.
