(63,201 posts)3. Dowd has been working to elect Republicans since at least 2000
Doing everything in her pseudo-journalistic power to ridicule and undermine the Democratic presidential candidates, she's simply continuing the trend that has put money in her pocket.
She's worthless.

Quote from dailyhowler in that article:
"In the past decade, Dowd has relentlessly "belittled the manhood" of a long string of Democratic pols. (Needless to say, this includes "Obambi," the "diffident debutante" who reminded Dowd of Scarlett O'Hara. Al Gore was "so feminized he was practically lactating." She has made endless snide remarks about various major pols' hair. (Endlessly, John Edwards was ridiculed as "the Breck Girl." She wrote at least seven columns which revolved around Gore's bald spot.) And no fashion show ever got more play than Gore's alleged switch to earth tones, an invented theme Dowd was happy to pimp, often in the columns where she imagined Gore fussing about The Spot as he looked into a mirror."

she was loony then and she is loony now

He only wanted to be close to Bill Clinton to help himself. Bill was smart enough to not buy into the 'friendship'.

(115,673 posts)9. It's really a pretty good article, for Dowd.
Yes, she snarks a bit at the Clintons but she saves most of her digs for Trump. The gist of it is that Trump was always New York's most avid social climber but was never really accepted, and now he's probably ruined his "brand" permanently - and nobody who's anybody will want to be seen with him.
