In more cultured circles, Maureen Dowd is known as the Pulitzer Prize–winning author and columnist for the New York Times, who was once named woman of the year by Glamour and is regarded as one of the most influential left-leaning journalists in the country.

On Twitter, she’s just another superparanoid stoner with a keyboard.

Dowd’s half-baked odyssey began when she flew to Denver to immerse herself in some of the local culture. No, not hitting the slopes or visiting the rifle range. She had designs on getting high. You know, for one of her columns.

So she went down to the local pot shop and bought a THC-laced candy bar. She took a nibble, waited, then made a real rookie mistake: “When nothing happened, nibbled some more,” she wrote. Famous last words.

She looks as wizened as the 5th grade nun who made my life a living hell in 1965. What a homely broad. She has amazingly big feet as well.

Iirc the story is that dating her was just an acting gig for him. She was being pretty scathing about Clinton over Lewinksy at the time, so they sic’d Douglas on her to encourage her to back off.

Her scathing commentary stopped almost immediately. Once the scandal abated he dumped her for CZJ.

My nomination for best Twitter response ...

"I really want to get high with Maureen Dowd." - said no one ever.

Don’t hate me for revealing this, but Rush Limbaugh has said, in his early years in New York, he dated this half wit.....I think it was only one date, though.....Rush is a pretty smart guy...... ;-)

She was pals with Sue Mengers, the Hollywood agent, who was the biggest pothead in the history of the world. In fact, she wrote a column about Mengers’ smoking. Who is she kidding?
