Real Time: Maureen Dowd. Too stoned?
Is this woman high or what? Not that she isn't intelligent, but could her reactions be more delayed?

21. She has incredible stage fright when it comes to TV....
Admitted it on one of her book tour shows... she may very well be doped up to endure it.

2. I'm wondering more if they are going to discuss anything
that isn't reinforcing a falacious media image of Kerry. They obviously get their opinions not by observing, but by repeating reichwing talking points.

10. But now they are talking about how bad Scrub is.
They better get with the program. These are the assholes that will blame the American public for re-electing an incompetent administration, while they were complicit in the process.

5. It's like those Christiane Amanpour remotes from Afghanistan
where we waited 10 seconds to hear her answer because of the delay...

7. MoDo does terrible interviews.
Her writing is often clever (sometimes too clever), but she's hopelessly impressed with herself. I think she seems stoned because she stalls for time while she figures out something ever so amusingly snarky (or snarkily amusing) to say.

12. You're talking about a current "Real Time",
aren't you?B-)

Cause I saw her about a month ago on there and I know exactly what you mean..I didn't want to mention it..but I thought she was being a little slowish and I'm pretty slow motion myself.

14. Yep, tonight's episode.
I forget the question, but her response was, "What was the question?"

She just seems slightly fried. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Personally, I'd like some myself.

13. I've seen her in a few shows and she always seems stoned.
I think she's trying to project an image? Or, maybe she's stoned. :shrug:

16. What is it with the outfit?
It is close to Halloween? Or, did her mother make her a nice Irish girl outfit, she couldn't refuse to wear?

17. Maybe she and Friedman had too many daqueries.

Or maybe today they just said, screw the liquer and did bong hits.

Although if she gets high, I want to see a legalization column in the NY times.

It can do that to a lot of people.

23. Oh, you mean Dorothy Pucker?
Maybe she was just distracted while contemplating the wonderfulness of herself
