I don't even have the energy to mock this person anymore.

i still want to toss her salad with the intensity of a million suns.

I'd like to cut the elastic on the back of her head and watch her face fall to her knees.

Sounds to me this chick (that's right, I said CHICK) needs to write for the Huffington Post...she'd fit real nice in with that crowd.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Please, please do! If you must knock Paul Krugman, fairness dictates that you kick Dowd's ass at least to the moon.

@the cajun boy: Well, as an Irish Catholic, I'm sure she'd be into that.

@ Pareene: The Obama fag-calling has been just a brief respite from her incessant, tedious, knee-jerk trashing of Hillary. But I'm sure something in tonight's coverage will remind her of her raison d'etre, so I'm guessing you'll like her column better tomorrow.

I don't read her anymore because all of her columns can be summarized as follows:

1. Hillary Clinton is an emasculating harpy with a smooth, Ken doll-like patch where her genitalia should be.

2. Barack Obama is a pansy with a vagina.

3. I hate men.

@the cajun boy: Ok, wait...your desire has the intensity, or the tossing would. The destinction is important, because quite frankly I don't think Superman could survive a tossing of that magnitutde.

@TheManator: wha? That crowd?

@lawyergay: I agree on 1 and 2, but I have to say that I think she actually panders to men; She tries to play the hot tom-boy to the nerdy, liberal boys of the press. I bet she has no women friends.

@Helman: So should it be "I love/hate men" or "I hate people"?

She was on TV one recent Sunday morning, and a friend visiting from Peru, who'd never seen nor heard of her before, asked, "Who's the Botox addict?"

Just read her columns in the Gossip Girl voice and you'll love them. Trust.

@Helman: I consider Krugman more dangerous than Dowd, because he attempts to imbue his ridiculous economic opinions with the sheen of academia and wonkery. Whereas with Dowd, everyone knows she's a fucking joke.

@Bell County: How about just "I love straight men"?

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Just fukcing insult her for me, will you? Jesus.

@Helman: I would wager good money that her vagina smells distinctly of burnt hair and week-old milk.

@Helman:
100% right on the pandering to men, though it used to be more blatant when she was a serial-dater of high profile male journo's.

She has claimed to be friends with Michiko Kakutani and one of the other Times women - maybe Alex Witchel.

@meerkat: Smails just will not be pandered to, though.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: I never thought I would applaud such a remark, yet applaud I do.

she looks like the detective from law and order with bad (awful) hair

@Bell County:
Well, apparently not by Maureen Dowd. However, I think he'd happily be the panderee of - hmm, Scarlett Johanssen, just to pull a name out of the air?

@Bell County: Nor will I suffer gerrymandering.

@meerkat: I want to save her from Ryan Reynolds so, so badly.

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
Not even if Jenna were the gerrymanderer?

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
You know what, I think she NEEDS your help. If you start showing up at her parents' door, and on sets where she's working, with little drawings of the two of you....

@meerkat: Which Jenna?

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
The little porker who's about to tie the knot at the ranch.

How many Jenna's are you juggling?

@meerkat: I'm more of a Barbara guy. Jenna's not great looking, I just think she's sweet.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Barbara the Younger, that is.

@meerkat: Bush, Fisher, Jameson (I assume).

If there was a Wicker Man in Manhattan, and it had to be burned with somebody inside it to save the rotting soul of big media, who would be the sacrifice?

@TheHonJudgeSmails:
I'm certainly glad you clarified that.

@Nard38: I'm obviously not up on my (or his) Jenna's.

@PickleTitsTurner:
Here's a twofer - Rupert Murdoch, representing traditional media; and JA, representing new media.

fuck her. fuck her. fuck her.

Perhaps Kinsley and Safire meant "You should stop doing humor columns because you don't do it as well as Molly Ivins," but they were too gentlemanly to spell it out?

Oh Pareene, you won my heart with this today.

Fake news? What is it with calling what people like Stewart and Colbert do fake news? Doesn't anyone know the word satire anymore?

@Helman: This sounds right on to me. I would add that she seems like the type who not only has no female friends, but is really proud of that, and talks about it all the time, and at least claims that this is entirely due to her rejection of women and "their stupid shit." I take this mostly from the impressions I formed in reading that terrifying anti-feminist manifesto she wrote a few years back on the topics of femininity, intelligence, and dating.

she thinks she's fucking marilyn monroe. on with Chris Wallace a month ago, all slurring and purring and tossing her head and batting her eyes. No, honey. No No No. You are not, will not, cannot ever be a sex pot, thinking man's or otherwise. Why you are not a drag queen favorite is beyond me.

although I agree with the stupid women shit. Women drive me crazy. I hate shopping, hate shoes, hate dark chocolate, and when I pull up to the "boys club", it's in my running shoes at a7 minute mile pace (for thirteen plus miles). Not in a fucking Mercedes Daddy or ex hubby bought for me--orone I bought for myself, but lease.
Most women make me want to vomit, and it is because of their substantial amount of stupid shit. Sorry. Sex and the City, Oprah, More Magazine and Real Simple are proof of all of the above.

Not to mention all those: "Women and Money" books. Act dumb and girly, stay out of the classrooms and grad schools--otherwise suck it up and learn your shit like the men have done. And that means addition, subtraction, percentages, balancing your checkbook and managing your portfolio. And not spending all your fucking money on dark chocolate, Italian shoes, and fancy cars that depreciate in value 25 grand the second you drive it off the lot.

@lizzybennett: I know very few women of the type you describe. In fact, the women you describe I see only on TV.

@Helman:
oh, sweetie. go work for Conde Nast. Or lsten to "OPrah and Friends". They call in.

@Helman:
I'd invite you to Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws, but this year I'm not going.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: Attempts to imbue his opinions with academia and wonkery? I thought his opinions, rather, were grounded in academic research and expert judgment or, as you call it, wonkery.

Didn't you call him a hack, before? "Hack" means a person is incompetent. You're not qualified to pronounce on his competence, prima facie. Let's compare biographies:

Krugman:

PhD in economics, MIT
Formerly tenured professor, MIT
Tenured professor, Princeton
Clark medal for distinguished young economist

Smails:

B.A. Earned A- in Economics 1001, spring term, 1999.

You may abhor his politics, but the "hack", "ridiculous", and (implied) "charlatan" line of attack is sapless.

@Zorica: the clarence thomas of women, quite

since when is liking dark chocolate a sign of a silly woman?

@Doolittle:
since it's used to sell a fucking car, and in the same category as gossip magazines and Italian shoes.
Besides, get real. DARK chocolate? Show me a woman who won't eat Rush Limbaugh's dick dripping with ANY kind of chocolate and I'll show you a man in drag. And even then...

Just to be the dissenting voice, I'd like to say that I wholeheartedly support Maureen Dowd's entire career based entirely on the supporting role it played in "The Rural Juror" episode of 30 Rock.

Obviously Jenna is Jenna Maroney! Now that's one hot threesome!

@lizzybennett: wow. say hello to Mr. Darcy for me.

@TheLorax: Kristol has a PhD too. Your point?

Today's faggy Obama simile is that he is a butterfly that has had its wings ripped off.

This primary campaign has gone on too long if we have devolved to insect metaphors. Couldn't Hillary at least be a praying mantis?

@Mo MoDo: In what, editorial-writing? Accusations of incompetence in the field of expertise (economics in this case) are toothless if leveled by a person unqualified to exercise judgment in that field. What don't you understand about that? What's your fucking point?
