More quotes by 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
I think Hillary Clinton's a very clever politician but she would be too easy to stereotype the way John Kerry was.
Maureen Dowd
IT is an astonishing thing that historians will look back and puzzle over, that in the 21st century, American women were such hunted creatures. Even as Republicans try to wrestle women into chastity belts, the Vatican is trying to muzzle American nuns.
Maureen Dowd
Good and evil are not like the Redskins and the Cowboys.
Maureen Dowd
Perpetual optimism is annoying. It is a sign that you are not paying attention.
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.

Celebrity distorts democracy by giving the rich, beautiful, and famous more authority than they deserve.
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.

For two centuries, the South has feared a takeover by blacks or the feds. In Obama, they have both.
Maureen Dowd
The idea of American exceptionalism doesn't extend to Americans being exceptional.
Maureen Dowd
Settling is about not embracing what is best for you and accepting what you really don't want. When you settle, you accept less than you deserve. Settling becomes a habit and a way of life, but it doesn't have to be. According to Maureen Dowd, The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for

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

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
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
I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me.
Maureen Dowd
It is men's worst fear, personally and professionally, that women will pin the sin on them.
