I think this is it, but I defer to more learned FReepers.

Michael Douglas dated Mo Dowd during the Clinton impeachment saga in order to influence her writing and make her more sympathetic to Clinton, Inc. After all, she writes for the “failing New York Times.” It was more influential then than now.

After the issue died down, he dumped her and took to dating CJZ. Married her.

Afterwards, Mo became morose, drowned her sorrows in whiskey, and likely lamented what could have been.

So we remind her every time she writes her bullsh!t.

I think it goes back to Michael Douglas:

“The gossip was so breathless that a writer for London’s Observer speculated that her relationship with the Clinton pal was prompting Dowd to go easy on the man then facing impeachment. After one of Dowd’s columns about Bush (”The Boy Emperor picked up the morning paper and, stunned, dropped his Juicy Juice box with the little straw attached. ‘Oh, man,’ he wailed, ‘North Korea’s got nukes. . . . Get me Condi! . . . And a peanut butter and jelly sandwich’ “), Rush Limbaugh accused her of being “mean, despicable, childish and immature.” Then Limbaugh added: “It’s obvious Maureen Dowd hasn’t gotten over her breakup with Michael Douglas, who she thinks is a real American president. . . . He blew it by running off with Catherine Zeta-Jones, leaving Maureen Dowd in the lurch.”” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/04/AR2005110401996_pf.html
