How Maureen Dowd Writes A Column (FLOWCHART)

People have had a lot to say about Maureen Dowd in the past few weeks. Karl Rove called her a "bitter, twisted, deranged columnist," which is seriously rough considering the inherent offensiveness of the word "columnist." Elizabeth Edwards took Dowd on for attacking the personal nature of her book, saying her kids already know about all the hardships the family has endured because of the Internet and that Dowd "wrote an editorial where she clearly does not understand this." Even our own Jason Linkins took her to task for one of her "unique" choices.

We here in the comedy section thought the world deserved a look at how Maureen pens her polemics, and how she negotiates the world of gender politics.

I detect fear, insecurity and jealousy. Maureen is great.

Molly Ivins was great.

Arianna Huffington is great.

Dowd is not.

She's smart and has said good stuff. And she's so smart, she's often overly impressed with herself and says a lot of flippant, smug, self-presumptuous horses**t. Some journalists become whores to celebrity.

Before you all "in the comedy section" decide what to do, maybe you ought to actually put together a comedy section. This is painfully unfunny.

If you don't like her, don't read her.

I don't and I don't

Dowd with her stupid, gender-based attacks on Al Gore helped give us the Bush years.

She is out of her mind.

Is there some sort of decision flow here? Or is everything of equal value?

[gnomic]

Way too complex! Dowd has a cyclomatic complexity of 1 (look it up)

[ZipZipZip]

DUMB

VERY ...

you forgot the arrow going to the part where she plagiarizes entire paragraphs from bloggers.

Perhaps that would lead back to "I'm sassy."
