More quotes by Maureen Dowd

Maureen Dowd
I don't understand men. I don't even understand what I don't understand about men.
Maureen Dowd
A friendship between reporter and source lasts only until it is profitable for one to betray the other.
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
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
It takes a lot of adrenaline and fear to make me actually write.
Maureen Dowd
Personally, I've decided to stop evolving.
Maureen Dowd
I think even the Hollywood money people are saying they've got to get the party back from the Clinton wing. They can't, you know, keep nominating these Northeast liberals. They have to look for people who can win.
Maureen Dowd
The idea of American exceptionalism doesn't extend to Americans being exceptional.
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 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
Women are affected by lunar tides only once a month men have raging hormones every day.
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.
