More quotes by Maureen Dowd
Women have become so obsessed with not withering, they've forgotten that there are infinite ways to be beautiful.
Maureen Dowd
The Clintons want to do big worthy things, but they also want to squeeze money from rich people wherever they live on planet Earth, insatiably gobbling up cash for politics and charity and themselves from the same incestuous swirl.
Maureen Dowd
Even when conservatives have all the marbles, they still act as if they're under siege. Now that they are under siege, it is no time for them to act as if they're losing their marbles.
Maureen Dowd
The Republicans, with their crazed Reagan fixation, are a last-gasp party, living posthumously, fighting battles on sex, race, immigration and public education long ago won by the other side. They're trying to roll back the clock, but time is passing them by.
Maureen Dowd
The idea of American exceptionalism doesn't extend to Americans being exceptional.
Maureen Dowd
It takes a lot of adrenaline and fear to make me actually write.
Maureen Dowd
President Bush was once asked which Presidential speech he admired most. He replied that it was the one Teddy Roosevelt had in his pocket that had helped cushion the blow of a would-be assassin's bullet.
Maureen Dowd
The Obamas, especially Michelle, have radiated the sense that Americans do not appreciate what they sacrifice by living in a gilded cage. They've forgotten Rule No. 1 of politics: No one sheds tears for anyone lucky enough to live at the White House.
Maureen Dowd
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
Maureen Dowd
Personally, I've decided to stop evolving.
Maureen Dowd
Reagan didn't socialize with the press. He spent his evenings with Nancy, watching TV with dinner trays. But he knew that to transcend, you can't condescend.
Maureen Dowd
Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.
Maureen Dowd
Journalism, spooked by rumors of its own obsolescence, has stopped believing in itself. Groans of doom alternate with panicked happy talk.
Maureen Dowd
Good and evil are not like the Redskins and the Cowboys.
Maureen Dowd
My eating habits were so bad for many years that I didn't actually know the intricacies of making a salad.
Maureen Dowd
The insane have achieved political respectability while the sane act too good for it all. The irrational celebrate while the rational act bored and above-it-all.
Maureen Dowd
We are riveted by the soap operas of public lives. We admire the famous most for what makes them infamous: it reassures us that they are not better and no happier than all the people with their noses pressed hard against the glass.
Maureen Dowd
I think Hillary Clinton's a very clever politician but she would be too easy to stereotype the way John Kerry was.
Maureen Dowd
When I need to work up my nerve to write a tough column, I try to think of myself as Emma Peel in a black leather catsuit.
Maureen Dowd
As blue chips turn into penny stocks, Wall Street seems less like a symbol of America's macho capitalism and more like that famous Jane Austen character Mrs. Bennet, a flibbertigibbet always anxious about getting richer and her 'poor nerves.'
