Thanks Joan. I started the tag after @leeladaou and I read that despicable column and decided to speak up about it.

It's been a tough week but seeing #PresidentObamaNotBarry trending is beautiful, as I've been writing about that MoDo crap for years

The racial context is the entire point. "Barry" is intended to be derisive and belittling. #PresidentObamaNotBarry
&&&&&&&&&&&
These are the types of people defending @NYTimesDowd's anti-Hillary tirade where she calls POTUS "Barry."

(58,785 posts)and distasteful, and I miss almost all of her columns, but this one has to be a real low. Apparently the FBI completely exonerating HRC of all wrongdoing was a bitter pill. Hope she doesn't like the kind of attention this choking on it's so deservedly getting her. Ann Coulter can no doubt give her career advice.

(15,369 posts)She wouldn't get any attention at all if she didn't write mean, bitchy columns because she has no talent for anything else.
It's LONG past time for MoDo to hang up her pen (or electronic device) and join the Unmissed Columnists Retirement Home.

(6,551 posts)She's launching that gig again, but it won't work. She's been mailing her writing in for years and her column no longer has the clout that it once did.
An over-the-top cheap shot column is one pathetic attempt to begin to regain her lost lustre.

NanceGreggs
(27,815 posts)... but when I was in high school back in the '60s, we circulated Slam Books - wherein we wrote snarky comments about fellow students we didn't like.
Dowd has never gotten past the Slam Book phase, nor has her mind expanded beyond its adolescent mindset and its limited appeal.
Mike Nelson
(9,956 posts)...the worst of the worst. Lower than FOX, she is one of the reasons the New York Times should be considered yellow journalism. Dowd soaks in the yellow.
DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)It would not be so appalling, but this is the same woman who slammed marijuana legalization after she got sick, because, despite being warned NOT to mix wine with the edible form, she did it ANYWAY.
