I use the word "asshole" because it's the nicest word I can think to use in this situation.

I want to scream but she was able to get a "questions still remain" about
Hillary into the title of her piece.

What f*****g questions? She was there for 11 hours.

But still our "liberal media" and republicans will still go to the "Can people
really trust Hillary?" meme.

Will be remarkable if she can somehow win if nominated.

This is the argument used by those who HATE her, that she cant win so why even try.

What these geniuses dont understand is THEY are the ones CREATING this environment

9. She's not a journalist. I don't know how she got her job at the NYT.

She does nothing but write snippy opinions about other women. I think she sees herself as an upscale Cindy Adams, former gossip columnist of the NY Post taboid.

<But then I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours. I was thirsty but couldn’t move to get water. Or even turn off the lights. I was panting and paranoid, sure that when the room-service waiter knocked and I didn’t answer, he’d call the police and have me arrested for being unable to handle my candy.

I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.>

16. How many pot brownies does Maureen Dowd have to eat before voting for her GOP candidate of choice?

Answer zero, she'll down a bottle of scotch.
