Maureen Dowd Party the Best. . .
The Washington Note — ... Maureen Dowd threw a "Star Spangled Banner" party -- so I wore a star spangled tie. My modest attempt at festive attire wasn't matched by anyone else there. ...

Missing the point
¡No Pasarán! — ... winter in the northern hemisphere, everyone should have known this was coming. Just as "hurricane season" denotes the possibility of hurricanes, winter denotes the possibility of snow, ice, and cold temperatures. One element which is missing from this current natural disaster is the now curiously quiet chorus of US media types normally ready to pounce on every shivering shiverer in order to make political points. The New York Times editorial page, silent; Maureen Dowd, silent; Paul Krugman, silent; Bob Herbert, silent. If ...

My self-referential moment about Maureen Dowd
culturekitchen - fresh dissent served daily — ... did, I thanked her and proceeded to get back to my blogging. She on the other hand did not leave until she left a "Hmmph" and a little hiss trailing behind her. I was amused because, being the blogdiva, I can respect a little attitude here and there.

But MoDo really got the last laugh on all of us who stop reading after her by-line, since we actually read stuff ...

OMG! A Palin-Sanford Ticket For 2012
The Moderate Voice — If I were South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, I would stroll down to the store, select a Hallmark card and mail it to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, saying “Thank you, thank you, thank you for getting me off Page One and the cable news networks.” Or, as Maureen Dowd in her Sunday column in The New York Times wrote: “As Alaskans settled in to enjoy holiday salmon bakes and the post-solstice thaw, their governor had a solipsistic meltdown so strange it made Sparky Sanford look like a model of stability.” Amazing, isn’t it, that ...

Dowd on Palin
Weekly Standard Blog — No, not that one. I mean former Bush pollster Matthew Dowd, who writes in today's Washington Post that, despite everything, Sarah Palin could make a serious attempt at the White House in 2012. Check it out: Looking ahead to the political landscape of the 2012 presidential election, there are certain elements to keep in mind, assuming that President Obama runs for reelection. First, Gallup polls over the past 60 years show that no president with an approval rating under 47 percent has won reelection, and no president ...
