Is Maureen Dowd doing more damage than Fox News? |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 07:27 AM by Cyrano
NY Times columnist, Maureen Dowd is doing everything she can to crush Hillary. Although I am not a Hillary supporter, I don't like seeing any of our candidates targeted for destruction by a widely read columnist who is not a known conservative.
When Fox attacks Hillary, it's expected. When Dowd does it on a routine basis, you've got to wonder wtf is wrong with this woman? And since there are many people who read her column, but don't pay much attention to progressive sites like DU, it allows Dowd to have some degree of impact. How much, I'm not sure, but she has a lot of readers.
For years, Dowd was a fairly decent, somewhat humorous columnist who didn't seem to have an axe to grind. More often than not, her columns were about one Republican idiot or another.
But now, she's turned her verbal venom on Hillary with a vengeance. Why? What does she have against her? She never says what her real beefs are. Rather, she throws out snarky comments each and every chance she gets. If Obama or Edwards gets the nomination, is she going to turn her guns in their direction? Who knows?
On edit: Please, please don't turn this into a bash Hillary thread. It's about Dowd.

1. Maybe she doesn't like Hillary or maybe she has her reasons. |

7. I wouldn't worry about Dowd. She's lost a lot of readership. |
|
She's paper thin and off the wall.

8. Dowd ,, Matthews have thrown their creibilty out the window. |
|
They especially Matthews did the same overzealous love swoon over GWB. No disrespect for Obama. MSNBC did the same for GWB. Everyday I thank that Network for the trouble the country is in. They cheeleaded him into office They cheeleaded us into war.
Think about this as you join their swoon.

Outside of the small world of New York Times junkies and her beltway cocktail weenie eating friends, no one even knows who this shrew is. Her columns have never had any substance, but the Times likes her just fine. She's television poison...why you rarely see her on the tube and she can't even get a book on her own damn paper's best seller's list.
She's a pest. As Bartcop has long said about Mo Do..."she hates everyone".

Wow. Cocktail weenies. Do they still exist? Or am I living in a parallel universe? Maybe I'm having a flashback. Whatever.
