Clark Hoyt responds to the good Archbishop with a tone of WASPy condescension; 'tut tut now, my good man, what's all the fuss about?' tone which attempts to cover a multidude of errors. I will point them out. First he attempts to play the victim for Paul Vitello and Maureen Dowd. They never meant to insult the Archbishop, they are merely doing their jobs. Paul Vitello's mention of the Archbishop's...

The Independent reviews the latest book by Juliet Barker Conquest: The English Kingdom of France . The article begins with a reminder of Juliet Barker's previous Brontë work: The books that first brought Juliet Barker renown were moving studies of the Brontës' lives and letters, and an immense life of Wordsworth. Her reinvention as a medievalist with her last book, Agincourt, seemed extraordinary,...

Traditional publishing is in a lot of trouble. Why? They just can't get their heads around media consumers. In the good ol' days, no one cared about readers. If you were the only game in town, you were the only place for advertisers to blow their money before blowing cocaine. Then Al Gore invented Teh Internets and messed up the model by giving Joe Average the power to look at LOLcats instead of Maureen...

We're agnostic when it comes to NYT Columnist Maureen Dowd Once-in-awhile, she hits a triple, or even less often, a homerun, but, more, it a case of spraying out seeing-eye-singles, and, an occasional ground-rule double. The other day, however, she had her claws out , and sharpened, taking on the Grand Poohbar of Dittoheads, The Cheeseburger That Sweats ( h/t Barry Crimmins ) himself, Rush Limbaugh....

If quality and ethics were a factor in media personnel decisions, Maureen Dowd would have been demoted or fired some time ago. Christian Lowe details the new-told lie: "Yes, the president's Oct. 29 trip to...

Because intelligence is obviously not one of the requirements. Gail Collins demonstrates that today (although Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and, yes, Paul Krugman may well do so on other days. YMMV). How? Just check out this opening paragraph. In Ohio, citizens marched to the polls on Tuesday and voted to...

The one thing I love about liberal columnists is how they complain about people spewing invective as they spew invective. Such was deliciously the case in New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd's offering Wednesday when she went after Rush Limbaugh: Years ago, when I dubbed Dubya “The Boy Emperor,” Limbaugh spewed a stream of personal invective about me that embarrassed even my mother,...

IT just fascinates me the way in which very rich Republican candidates play the political game. First, there’s billionaire Michael Bloomberg who just won a third term as New York mayor this week. A Republican until 2007 when he switched to “unaffiliated” and succeeded in changing the term-limits law so he could stay in office came close to losing in a tight race. When all the bills...

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd's unfounded criticism of the Roman Catholic Church is both indefensible and reprehensible (" 'Bish' Bash Bull!," Nov. 4). Her mean-spirited hostility recalls the popular aphorism: "Anti-Catholicism is the anti...

In the annals of sexual politics and odd couples, none could ever match the possibilities of mating Maureen Dowd and Rush Limbaugh, a power pairing that would have made Mary Matalin and James Carville look like America's Sweethearts. The image comes to mind from Dowd's column today, recounting a four-hour dinner at Manhattan's 21 Club back when she was "a reportette" and El Rushbo's puss...

Maureen Dowd : “Rush Limbaugh is more than ever the face of the Republican Party. He’s also the mouth.” And the asshole. Not to mention that horrid, suspiciously shapeless thing called the ‘pancreas’. Limbaugh is right that Democrats tend to dither too much. But the tactics of Limbaugh, Palin, Cheney & Fille are more cynical: They spin certainty, ignoring their side’s...
