Maureen Dowd just can't help herself. [View all]

she can't write a single fucking Op-Ed without some type of swipe at Obama.

I gotta ask---what planet does she fucking live on?

Today's piece:

"The billion-dollar Republican campaign should be sweeping the floor with the deflated President Obama after four years of 8 percent-plus unemployment".

"Even if voters are inclined to fire the incumbent, they need reassurance about what the replacement would do".
