Not even "the alternative is the abyss" gives MoDo a moral compass. She can have all of the abyss.

[font size=5]The Mystery of Being Maureen Dowd[/font]
Lloyd GROVE
.... Former top Obama aide David Axelrod revealed in his 2015 memoir Believer that when Dowd interviewed the then-senator aboard his 2008 campaign plane, “Obama proceeded to blister her for a previous column she had written. No one got under Barack’s skin more than Maureen… He was patronizing and disrespectful…
“After that awkward encounter,” Axelrod continued, “she seemed to take particular delight in psychoanalyzing Barack and belittling him in print, which only deepened his contempt… ‘Why are you friends with her?’ he would demand after Maureen sent one of her acid darts his way.” ....
With Trump—like Bush 43, Quayle and Palin—“you’d think that if somehow you fell into clover and you’re on your party’s ticket, you would get a tutor and study 12 hours a day. But they never do. Palin didn’t know where Iraq was, and Dubya didn’t know about Medicare, and Trump doesn’t know anything. If you get rewarded for a lack of something, you don’t think of fixing it, and it would never have occurred to any of them to think about (their) worthiness (for the job).” ....
She added: “There is plenty to reproach Trump for, and I do. But that doesn’t mean that Hillary is above reproach. I think it’s really bad for democracy—this idea that she should get a pass, that no one should say anything critical about her because [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the alternative is ‘the abyss[/FONT],’ as she said at a fundraiser. I don’t think that’s a healthy attitude.” ....
