Are women necessary? Not with Ava around
Maureen Dowd
The Mormons even baptized Anne Frank. It took Ernest Michel, then chairman of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, three years to get Mormons to agree to stop proxy-baptizing Holocaust victims.

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
I feel like I owe it to the readers to try to pull back the veil and give them the honest version of what's going on. But it's not more fun. If Obama, as he does sometimes already, gets a little snippy with me about something I've written, you're thinking, 'Oh God, the president of the United States is already annoyed with me.'
Maureen Dowd
Women have become so obsessed with not withering, they've forgotten that there are infinite ways to be beautiful.
Maureen Dowd
Digital platforms are worthless without content. They're shiny sacks with bells and whistles, but without content, they're empty sacks. It is not about pixels versus print. It is not about how you're reading. It is about what you're reading.
Maureen Dowd
Good and evil are not like the Redskins and the Cowboys.
Maureen Dowd
It is men's worst fear, personally and professionally, that women will pin the sin on them.
Maureen Dowd
