My cat is more self-aware than Maureen Dowd. My cat also runs into walls. Make of that what you will.

Hiding behind fake IDs is an American tradition, and I wonder why MoDo did not mention that. Not only Superman, but Tom Jefferson would spread all sorts of malicious rumors under an alias or behind a front and then sanctimoniusly deny it to the face of John Adams. Abe Lincoln was challenged to a dual for libeling a political opponent under a pseudonym (his wife Mary was probably the actual author). Even the Federalist Papers were penned behind a cover called "Publius."

But slander from deep cover is quite a bit different from the Federalist Papers. One problem is, it advances no argument. The First Amendment has always been subject to mission creep, and the creeps always hide behind the mission.

@Tremonius: The authors were perhaps dual, but the duel never came off anyway, maybe because the homonym was subbed.

As someone who pseudonymously blogs about Maureen Dowd, I feel personally responsible for her desire to become a waitress to drunken militiamen. It's my one small contribution to society.

Ho'Kay. So how do we know MoDo's name is really Maureen Dowd and not some nom de plume?

Anyone who's making Ricky Martin references in the summer of 2009 and trying to pass it off as clever should have retired five years ago. Sorry, Maureen, your shtick was stale when your hair color *didn't* come out of a bottle under the sink.

"If you’re written about in a nasty way, it looms much larger for you than for anyone else."

No Maureen. Intarnetz insults only loom large for people who take themselves too seriously, or have nothing else to think about besides what flaw a bunch of people they don't know are making fun of today.

Christ, half the effing internet needs to get over itself already.

@partypants: True dat. I've received enough hate mail over the years to realize that the only criticism that matters is the stuff you insist on caring about.

And I'd say it's more like three-quarters of the internet, but people have a lot of unwanted free time this year.

She kinda resembles Priscilla Presley circa the Naked Gun.

@Conchie Birdie: Lucky you: the last time I saw MoDo on The Daily Show, she reminded me of the Cryptkeeper.

@Conchie Birdie: let's hope MoDo doesn't achieve the Presley animatronic-cheekbone-implant-Jack... Nicholson's-Joker-Smile-Yet-Somehow-Froz... Look, though.

I'm going to go lie down now.

The only thing Maureen Dowd should be writing is her name on her unemployment checks.

Not that I like to stoop to Dowd's level, but really it should be pointed out that a lady whose face is Botoxed into eerie immobility should avoid accusing anyone of "wearing a mask."
