    How is it that Maureen Dowd is a columnist for the nation's paper of record and not for, say, Us Weekly? I get more insightful commentary from those airhead hosts of Access Hollywood than I get from Dowd's self-indulgent spew.

    I'm starting to think the party crashers were sent by Senator Inhofe and Sarah Palin to cause a media storm and distract us from Copenhagen and health care.

    This kind of underlying racism is what I grew up with in the Southern Midwest. It wasn't all n-words and Confederate flags. Instead, it was this insidious combination of low expectations "Wow! That black kid from down the street has really done well for himself." , and a distrust of successful minorities, a la the Obama hatred "Okay, okay we get it. You're smart. Can you just quit rubbing it in our faces?" .

    I suppose, in some ways, this genteel discrimination is progress. (No violence is a great start.) But, paired with extreme defensiveness "My neighbor is black! It was just a joke. Get a sense of humor." it's so frustrating, because it's not like the person is racist. They're just "not PC."

    @midwestdesigner: I feel like that kind of racism is the worst kind. It's like undermining to 1000th degree. I so prefer a person who'll call me a nigger to my face and spout the hateful crazy to a person who sits across from me at a dinner party and gives me left-handed compliments.

    It seems people feel more comfortable calling out the nutters than they do the people at dinner parties who think/say the same fucked up shit eloquently.

    ETA: I don't think it's progress of any sort because people are less willing to attack that kind of racism full on.

    It's probably not a good idea to hire Will Ferrell's character in Austin Powers 2 as social secretary. The White House needs someone who won't give in just because she can't stand being asked the same question three times.

    Dowd is the worst. Practically everything she writes makes me seethe, which is why I just stopped reading her. However sometimes rage-making quotes pop up in other places. grrr. It just points out everything that is wrong with the mainstream media that this village idiot is employed by one of the most respected newspapers in the US.

    Rush Limbaugh reminds me so much of John Wayne Gacy. I can't look at him without thinking that his house is full of clown accessories and stashed victims. #maureendowd

    "Now Limbaugh calls Obama the "man-child president."

    The 48-year-old Obama is skinny and getting skinnier, but there’s nothing childish about him. He more or less raised himself and came to terms with his Oedipal demons on his own, and he radiates a hard-won maturity.

    W., on the other hand, was like a kid who knew that Daddy’s friends would take care of him; he was always running off to the gym or going biking, leaving the governing to his regents, Cheney and Rummy, or incompetents like Brownie."

    Thank you Ms. Dowd. It's like Rush is seeing another version of reality. #maureendowd

    We may not be able to say anything about the addiction itself, but the scoring drugs from your maid just makes me think of a fifteen year old yuppie douche getting pot from the maid. It does seem immature, because frankly, if you want to do drugs, get a dealer like the rest of us. #maureendowd

    Hey Maureen - if you want to snark on this guy, there's an abundance of character flaws to choose from. Laughing at someone's battle with addiction is not only insensitive, it's lazy writing. #maureendowd
