Another time I’ll show how I figured this out by reason and logic, but for the moment suffice it to say that there is no “Maureen Dowd.” She has as much existence as Betty Crocker or Aunt Jemima. “Maureen Dowd” is an extended practical joke the NY Times editorial staff is playing on its readers.

By the way, the actress they get to play her on Sunday talk shows does a good job of combining undoubted intelligence with utter ditziness. But in reality, the newspaper of record wouldn’t give this much valuable space to this caricature of the “woman writer.”

She is an embarrassment to us liberals. No doubt she is no conservative but I would trade her gladly to Team Red to get Charles Krauthammer or Suzanne Fields, in a heartbeat. Actually, many liberals would gladly pay conservatives to take her, a la The Ransom of Red Chief. Many thanks, SD, for the link!

Actually, she is neither Liberal nor Conservative. She is just stupid.

Look at the site I linked to. She isn’t very popular in the lefty blogosphere either.

Someone out there will argue that Maureen Dowd isn’t liberal?

That person needs meds. Urgently.
