What did you think of Maureen Dowd on The Daily Show?

[coloradodem2005]

I thought her bit about Dick Cheney being like Darth Vader was funny, but the bit about Bush being Luke Skywalker could not be further from the truth.

[Worst Username Ever]

1. DEAD SEXY

And what a smart woman.

[coloradodem2005]

3. She is hot.

Quite hot I must say.

[sniffa]

13. heLL yeah!!

is she a naturaL red head? i Like firebush.

[progressivebydesign]

37. funny how guys fall for the tight sweater, sweeping hair..

.. and don't look too closely at the face. Ah.. such are American men.

[Worst Username Ever]

40. Nah

Even though I am 27, for her age, she is hot.

[fizzana]

2. I thought she was incredibly lame

considering she seems to have a biting tongue when she writes.

[CatWoman]

39. agreed

she seemed pretty loopy, or drugged too.

I can't understand this "hotness" thing,

I suppose most men find anything with a slit between its legs as hot.

[sldavis]

42. absolutely

I thought her comments were pretty flat, which surprised me based on her op-ed writing. She didn't seem comfortable.

[Gruenemann]

43. Maybe she is better at

expressing herself through writing, not talking.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

4. Reminded me of Emo Phillips

:shrug:

[Fenris]

5. She wasn't terrible.

However, I still cannot for the life of me understand how she got a column in the Times or a Pulitzer.

[Scairp]

47. She was terrible

I think she's an idiot. Why in God's name they pay her to write shite that is worse than stuff I wrote my first year in college, I'll never understand.

[MissB]

6. I think she didn't get a chance to wrap up the Luke Skywalker comparison

I think she meant to say he went over to the dark side (with Darth) instead of being the good guy like the classic Luke.

[TrustingDog]

7. I was expecting her to be a vile medusa by what I hear here...

but I really liked her sense and humour and find her an interesting character.

so what's the big hate-on for her about by some here? Just asking, nothing else.

[Hamlette]

14. She was brutal to Gore

trashing him weekly in her column during the election. She was also dreadful to Clinton and seems to never miss an opportunity to mention Monica.

[NightOwwl]

8. Let me put it this way. She would try to steal your husband/boyfriend

out from under you without a second thought. What can I say? I'm a woman. I know these things.

[Mika]

11. HUH? Steal? ROTFL

what?

Maybe you didn't notice.. It takes two to tango.

[NightOwwl]

17. The guy has to be a willing accomplice. But it wouldn't

keep her from trying. :smoke:

[TrustingDog]

12. ? why would I worry about That?

when Bush is trouncing around the planet like a madcow?...

Here Maureen, have my hubby - but just keep slagging Bush - that's okey dokey by me - :)

[ProfessorPlum]

45. she won't keep slagging the GOP, though

she'll stop the next time a GOP hate-fax comes through and repeat those false lies to mock Kerry and Edwards just the way she repeats all the GOPs false lies. She absolutely cannot be trusted in her position to do anything that might lift up the human condition.

[madrchsod]

15. i agree

she`s kind`a sleazzy and has that hilton lounge lizard thing going for her..just interesting enough to talk to before popping the question..my room or your`s?

[Mika]

18. That speaks more to the husband/boyfriend

Sleaze, meet sleaze.

[NightOwwl]

20. That's exactly what I meant!

Did you notice how far she stuck out her chest during the interview? Poor Jon, I thought he might get poked in the nose.

[progressivebydesign]

35. OMG... that is what I got from watching her with Jon...

.. she was SOOO into him! It was funny to watch. But then, what woman wouldn't be?

[terrya]

9. She always comes off like she's bored out of her mind when I see her.

Like she has something much better to do.

[GR]

10. It Was A Funny Exchange....She's Shy I Think....

but Stewart drew her out, if you know what I mean. She's ultimately, in the final analysis, a shrewish woman, who cannot be trusted....

But it was still a funny exchange...

Hotter than I thought....I was used to seeing Bartcop's image of her...thought she looked like Henry Hyde below the neck...Guess not...

[UdoKier]

16. She's a kinda strange cookie, but she was entertaining.

She has a unique way of looking at the BFEE. She's not a Bush hater, but she trashes them a lot, too.

[Cat Atomic]

19. I was surprised by her demeanor. She seemed very soft spoken

and she had a kind of dry wit. Might just be camera shy, I suppose. My roommate said she wants to steal Dowd's hair. *shrug*

[otohara]

21. A Bit Odd

like her columns...

[jpgray]

22. MoDo is a semi-talented airhead

Sorry, but she is. She can write an effective editorial piece, but her pieces regularly say things of no fucking importance whatsoever. She's the standard bearer of 'personality insight' as political reportage. Blech.

[realFedUp]

23. This is your brain on drugs

Ok, that was a mo blow....

[JI7]

24. much more open in writing, very shy in person

she comes across as pretty shy . seems the type where she is much more open about things in writing. but many writers are that way.

[K-W]

25. Im deeply in love with her now, so hot.

But she just doesnt have the chops to play politics in this day and age. She is fine when the media is doing its job, of parsing things, but now she just allows herself to be manipulated.

[Aristus]

26. I admit to being charmed somewhat by the coquetteish act.

And I like redheads. Of all my girlfriends and sex partners, I never had a redhead. Something about them.

OTOH, I don't like 'undecided' columnists. Bash B*sh or bash Kerry, but don't give B*sh a light thump and claim to be nonpartisan.

[K-W]

27. Theres nothing wrong with being undecided.

There is something wrong with being undecided by policy. Having a false sense of journalistic objectivism that plays right into the manipulative right's hands. Sometimes being partisan is being objective.

[ProfessorPlum]

28. DON'T BE FOOLED

MoDo is one of the worst of the media whores. Just because she is making some $ off of Bush's bad rep right now doesn't mean she isn't a horrible, shallow Heather. See The Daily Howler for many examples of her perfidy.

What she has done in the past to the Clintons and to Gore must never be forgotten. She is a main purveyor of all kinds of incorrect slanderous rumors about Democrats. Hillary's "gift registry". Gore's "love story", "inventing the internet", "love canal". The Clintons' stealing from Air Force One and trashing the white house. MoDo was in a unique position to bring light to the truth on all of those lies, and instead she decided to get bitchy about Gore's beard.

Thanks for nothing, you shallow, know-nothing presstitute.

[Gloria]

29. She's using her eyeliner better than what I saw on Booknotes...

that dark line on the bottom lashes made her look like a ghoul.
Somebody took her aside and "naturalized" her.......

[JJinSF]

30. Going to see her soon

She's going to be doing a lecture and Q&A here in SF soon. Got my tickets today. Now to think of what questions to ask her.

[goddess40]

31. Don't trust her

Mostly I don't trust her but I did like it when she said Cheney was "barking mad."

[Generator]

32. First time I ever saw her was trashing Edwards speech

that was at the DNC. I instinctively don't like her. One of those types that has never suffered a day in her life. It's a game to her. It's all fun fun fun!

[K-W]

33. Yep its all just a joke she and safire can rib each other about.

She is completely useless.

[progressivebydesign]

34. She couldn't look Jon in the eye.. I think she has the hots for him.

She looked tres uncomfortable.. but she's a writer, not an enterainer, so I didn't expect her to do too well. But she was SOOOO flirty with Jon, it was a hoot! She couldn't even look him in the eye. Is he THAT cute up close?

I liked what she said, but she looked horrified about being on tv., and will be mortified when she sees herself.

[K-W]

36. I bet she acts like that around all men of power.

Or perhaps even all men.

[frank frankly]

38. ask trumad. i think they are dating.

[trumad]

44. Fantasies of a threesome with Mo and Sue Schmidt.

[thebigidea]

41. horrified at the thought of Dowd & Friedman sippin' daiquiris

enjoy it while it lasts, ya callous fucks.

[theboss]

46. Missed it....

But she has written anything interesting in about 8 years. Her "Sex in the City" routine has grown really stale.

[allalone]

48. yikes

she's kind of old for that sex kitten routine she was pulling. Her stories were kind of interesting, but she herself is dull. Maybe she should stick to writing.
