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
Zingers should glow with intelligence as well as drip with contempt.
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.

Journalism, spooked by rumors of its own obsolescence, has stopped believing in itself. Groans of doom alternate with panicked happy talk.
Maureen Dowd
For two centuries, the South has feared a takeover by blacks or the feds. In Obama, they have both.
Maureen Dowd
Perpetual optimism is annoying. It is a sign that you are not paying attention.
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 are affected by lunar tides only once a month men have raging hormones every day.
Maureen Dowd
The idea of American exceptionalism doesn't extend to Americans being exceptional.
Maureen Dowd
If wit is the most sophisticated form of humor, pranks are the most juvenile.
Maureen Dowd
Are women necessary? Not with Ava around
Maureen Dowd
Washington is a place where people have always been suspect of style and overt sexuality. Too much preening signals that you're not up late studying cap-and-trade agreements.
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.
