Bitter Dowd
From The G Spot...

"But there's another problem with the opening sentence of the Dowd column. "I'm not bitter." Oh Maureen -- who the hell do you think you're kidding? The woman positively soaks in bitterness. Marinates in it. It oozes out of her pen and pours into just about every damn word she writes. Her bitterness has utterly corroded her soul. It's turned her into a twisted freak whose chief pleasure in life seems lie in vicious, barking-mad attacks on the only people capable of ending our long national nightmare -- the Democrats. Seriously, if there is any other single person in the media who's been a more powerful enabler of Republican high crimes and misdemeanors than Modo, I don't know who it is."

1. Very nice--Dowd is abominable
I can't even read her columns unless I have an bucket nearby.

Horrible. An occasional bright spot of incidentally correct observation can't compensate for a career entirely built on trashing Democrats.

2. Mo Dowd Has Been Brutal To Bush As Well
She has done some priceless pieces on the tragic bush administration. My read on Dowd is that she is going to attack whoever is in the public eye. I think she has a great writing style but of course don't appreciate it when someone I support is a focus of that day's column.

5. She'll attack anyone to fill inches...
...but for the wrong reasons, mostly. Any rational criticism of modern politics has to indict the MSM as enabler/puppet master, and she is far too comfortable for that.

She's not a bitter person, but she plays one at her typewriter.

6. As the esteemed Bartcop says, "She hates EVERYBODY"
She was the MODEL of bitterness that Obama used.
