Thought Process Flowchart: Maureen Dowd

Maureen has finally been explained—by Maureen Dowd. The explanation came in response to a column by the Times’ public editor Clark Hoyt in which he said that Dowd’s writing about Hillary Clinton was “loaded with language painting her as a 50-foot woman with a suffocating embrace,” and compared her coverage with that of Chris Matthews, Mike Barnicle, Tucker Carlson and William Kristol (what a fun dinner that would be).

But Modo fired right back, explaining that she’s forcing “the reader to be conscious of how differently we view the sexes.” Which always seems to work out like this: Maureen likes Republican tough guys, helps them get elected, and then about a year into tough guy Republican’s administration, Maureen realizes the election wasn’t about which guy she’d rather have sexual intercourse with.

In other words, Maureen has some kind of issue with her father. And it’s working itself out, twice a week, year after year, in the pages of the New York Times. So what’s Maureen thinking when she puts together one of her advanced gender studies seminars columns?
