  The Week Unpeeled Obama drama (Maureen Dowd) all week for sure amid damning and finger-pointing headlines on Benghazi and talking points, AP and an “unfettered” press, the IRS and targeting the Tea Party, among others.

• Robert Gibbs Tells Morning Joe Why He Doesn’t Read Maureen Dowd: ‘Same Column’ For ‘Last 8 Years’

  
  — Authority:
  New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd is out with her latest patented concern-trolling column about how once-favorite nephew Barack Obama is now a big disappointment to her, and isn’t living up to the stories she watches on the TV . Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs isn’t trying to hear ...

• For the birds.

  
  Althouse — Authority: 718
  The phrase "for the birds" — originally, "strictly for the birds" (I guess the strictures broke down over time) — is defined by the (unlinkable) Oxford English Dictionary to mean "trivial, worthless; appealing only to gullible people." This isnt such an old expression, according to the OED, which finds its first ...

• "The onetime messiah seems like a sad sack, trying to bounce back from a blistering array of sins that are not even his fault."

  
  Althouse — Authority: 718
  Obamas in trouble, and Maureen Dowd is trying to help . I think. But lamely describing lameness? Whats the solution? The president should try candid; wistful and petulant aren’t getting him anywhere. The Republicans who are putting partisan gain above solving the country’s problems deserve a smackdown. Oh, ...

• Maureen Dowd, "When Myths Collide in the Capital": Maureen Is the Only Times Columnist with Balls

  
  — Authority:
  Did you serve in the military? Were you part of a close-knit combat unit? I always wanted to believe that if I was ever stuck in a firefight facing impossible odds, an effort would be made to come to my relief. Conversely, I always was prepared to give my life to come to the rescue of other soldiers facing such an ...

• Maureen Dowd, "America’s Military Injustice": Does Dowd Really Give a Damn?

  
  — Authority:
  Sexual molestation? Rape? My family has been victimized, but in some respects I suppose we could be deemed "lucky." More than a decade ago, my oldest son, then 10-years-old, limped home from school. He explained that two older boys had grabbed him and a friend, and had tried, over the course of an hour, to force them ...

• Maureen Dowd, "In a Gaudy Theme Park, Jay-Z Meets J-Gatz": They Wont Meet JG Caesarea at the Cinema

  
  — Authority:
  My father-in-law, a farmer and one of the most kind-hearted persons I ever knew, died several weeks ago at the age of 94. My wife inherited a small sum of money from him, and we decided to use some of the funds to invest in Nano Retina, a tiny Israeli start-up company, which is creating an ultra small bionic retina, ...

• Now That’s Leadership

  
  Urantian Sojourn — Authority: 112
  Its as if GOP icon Ronald Reagan had, after firing the air traffic controllers, replaced them with the inmates of Ken Kesey’s Cuckoo’s Nest and Christopher Lloyd’s Dream Team.

• What Happened to Barack Obama?

  
  — Authority:
  The most annoying proclamation in modern America is the brilliant: “I don’t like Politics” The Empire is most appreciative for your benign contempt. It really helps. Six years ago, as the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns were pulling tomfoolery all over Iowa and New Hampshire- Mrs. Clinton ...

• Maureen Dowd, "Bottoms Up, Lame Duck": Obama, the Anti-Leader, Avoids Discussion of Unemployment

  
  — Authority:
  Holy cannoli, is Maureen Dowd ever pissed off at Obama. In her latest New York Times op-ed entitled "Bottoms Up, Lame Duck" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/01/opinion/dowd-bottoms-up-lame-duck.html?_r=0 ), Dowd notes Obamas irritability and arrongance while answering a question from ABC News’s Jonathan Karl ...

• Maureen Dowd, "Silver Fox’s Pink Slip": Stuck in Puissant Elephant and Donkey Droppings

  
  — Authority:
  Make no mistake about it: George W. Bush was a disaster for the United States. The Second Gulf War destroyed the equilibrium that existed between Iraq and Iran in the Middle East, setting the stage for Irans fanatic pursuit of dominion over the region. His introduction of ground forces into Afghanistan was a tragedy ...

• MoDo and the virtues of not being able to throw a punch.

  
  — Authority:
  I’ve been meaning to highlight this passage from Walter Russell Mead… One interesting thing about Ms. Dowd’s description of “hardball” political tactics is just how dainty and genteel her brass knuckle suggestions actually are. A speech, an appeal to reason: there is nothing here about lucrative ...

  Has a New York Times op-ed ever caused you nausea?

• The Naughty Flamethrower

  
  — Authority:
  Things sort themselves out without any real agreement. Anyone who’s even vaguely conservative watches Fox News – run by Roger Ailes, who had been Richard Nixon’s media advisor and seems to be still at it, making unpleasant and shifty Republican politicians seem heroic, or if that’s not possible, turning them ...

• Sleeper unawake

  
  — Authority:
  Maureen Dowd, according to Doug Mataconis, is living in Aaron Sorkin’s fantasy universe: Dowd has become enamored with the idealized New York-Washington corridor vision of politics epitomized by the movie she references in her column [The American President], and even more so by Sorkin’s classic television ...
