New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd must have woken up on the far-left side of the bed Tuesday given the number of prominent conservatives she chose to abuse in her article published Wednesday.

In "Daisy Chain of Cheneys", Dowd went after former Vice President Dick Cheney, his two daughters Liz and Mary, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, former Vice President Dan Quayle, Rush Limbaugh, the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, and OF COURSE George W. Bush.

This was really quite a venom-dripping hatefest even for Dowd (h/t Jennifer Rubin):

"Yes, it’s a star of David."

Interesting. Perhaps she converted?

Something is DEEPLY wrong with American journalism when it turns a blind eye to government, and begins to focus on the private individuals.
If we had an honest press, and a balanced entertainment media complex, Obama’s approval rating would be in the high thirties. Instead of reporting on Obama’s epic fail with respect to Russian support of Iranian sanctions, they're too busy talking about Rush Limbaugh's bid to buy an NFL franchise, or the daughters of a former VP. In the big scheme of things, which of those topics is more pressing and relevant for the American people?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have noticed that lately. We, the people, are the target for the wrath of the press. And they seem to go after all private citizens, not just former politicians.

Although I wonder if their lashing out at Americans is because of an angry response to Americans turning more and more of them off?

It’s a 6-pointer alright. She’s not Jewish...Kirk Douglas was though. Maybe it’s something that was given to her...or knowing Hollywood-types maybe it was just a design they liked and it was full of diamonds, so what the hell...

[BertWheeler]

In Maureen Dowd’s article, she referred to “right wing dictators”... Would someone give me an example of ONE (1) right wing dictator because I’m stumped.

That's the whole crew of haters over at MSNBC.

Both images looked fine to me. That and a quick search on Google.

This destruction of private individuals is nothing more than a game to hide the real communists agenda. Keep Americans off balance while they trash America. This rotten little rat Dowd will be pitched under the RAT bus when she will soon become ineffective.

Hey, wait a minute. Dowd made some great points in the article (excerpts):

"... the Cheneys have led the charge against Obama, painting him as a wishy-washy loser who has turned America to mush." [no effort necessary]

" ... presenting the president as a callow, wobbly, golf-playing appeaser whose foreign policy will “make us weaker.”

"The “Keep America Safe” mission statement says that “the current administration too often seems uncertain, wishful, irresolute, and unwilling to stand up for America, our allies and our interests.”"

Okay, since she really doesn't believe any of this, here's a statement by CZJ:

Concerning the picture on the left...After a few drinks one might ask....”How much, and are you clean?”

[PLD]

Does anyone ever read what this cow writes except when the stuff is put up here..I think she is a has been and we should just let her die a natural death instead of giving her an inch of publicity..We all know she is a commie alone with the rest of the fools in Washington so let her go..The people she is trying to reach does not know how to read anyway..

"New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd must have woken up on the far-left side of the alone in bed, again, Tuesday given the number of prominent conservatives she chose to abuse in her article published Wednesday.

There... fixed it!

“Concerning the picture on the left.”

Look at those feet! Gotta be at least men’s size 13 double A! Dick Morris might like her!

“Maureen Dowd attacks Dick. . .”

Now, I don’t want to see that. Well, perhaps I do, just a peek.

[calex59]

She had to be temporarily insane to marry Mike Douglas when she could have had me. Hard to believe eh?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Maureen Dowd Attacks Dick

Whenever she has the rare opportunity, I’m sure...

[Loyal Buckeye]

Maureen needs a man.
