It's been a tough week but seeing #PresidentObamaNotBarry trending is beautiful, as I've been writing about that MoDo crap for years

Peter Daou Retweeted Karen Tumulty

The racial context is the entire point. "Barry" is intended to be derisive and belittling. #PresidentObamaNotBarry



&&&&&&&&&&&



These are the types of people defending @NYTimesDowd's anti-Hillary tirade where she calls POTUS "Barry."

Maureen Dowd Takes Racial Swipes at Obama in Wrathful Anti-Hillary Tirades

Maureen Dowd’s anti-Hillary vendetta is a grim fact of American political life. Her impotent, enraged, and deeply dishonest New York Times tirades betray a sick obsession unlike anything we’ve witnessed in modern political media. Lately, Dowd has taken to using these columns as a platform for racially-tinged attacks against President Obama.

19. I don't like Dowd because she's so often spiteful

and distasteful, and I miss almost all of her columns, but this one has to be a real low. Apparently the FBI completely exonerating HRC of all wrongdoing was a bitter pill. Hope she doesn't like the kind of attention this choking on it's so deservedly getting her. Ann Coulter can no doubt give her career advice.

[Cha]

20. Good point, Hortensis.. she couldn't handle Hillary being exonerated.. and immediately got

out her poison pen.

[BlueMTexpat]

27. Spot on!

She wouldn't get any attention at all if she didn't write mean, bitchy columns because she has no talent for anything else.

It's LONG past time for MoDo to hang up her pen (or electronic device) and join the Unmissed Columnists Retirement Home.

[Cha]

28. Way past her venomous pen's expiration date, BlueMT!

[CrowCityDem]

2. Conservatives are always butt-hurt about respecting the Presidency, until a Dem has it.

[Snarkoleptic]

4. Now they're doubly wigged out since he's had a successful and scandal-free Presidency.

n/t

[synergie]

25. Despite their very best efforts to gin one up.

[riversedge]

9. The office of the presidency when occupied by a Democrat

is nothing but sewer crap to Republicans. Shameful.

[DonCoquixote]

31. yeah, if Trump wins

Watch Dowd all of sudden write about him like he was a cross between a young Hugh Hefner and Alexander the Great.

[Night Watchman]

3. Relax with some Weed, Maureen

And this time, ffs, do it right!

[Cha]

17. Hey, Night Watchman.. more info on dowd calling President Obama, Barry.

22. Maybe she's Graduated to a More Powerful Drug

That piece she wrote about doing marijuana in Colorado read like something out of Reefer Madness!

[Cha]

23. She's got green eyed monster for real..

[The Second Stone]

5. Has anyone seen Maureen Dowd and Peggy Noonan at the same time?

Because I think that one is just a drunker version of the other.

[CherokeeDem]

10. oh... my...

I think you're right!!!

[coco77]

11. That sounds about right..

I can't tell them apart.

[SharonClark]

21. OMG love that because its true

[mcar]

6. Good

Dowd is a talentless, vindictive hack. They should give her space to Gail Collins.

[Native]

12. Yes!

[Cha]

18. Aloha, mcar.. more info on dowd calling President Obama, Barry..

7. And if he had gone by the name Barry as president

they would have taunted him for years by calling him Barack.

[JaneyVee]

8. Dowd is still tripping on edibles.

[kstewart33]

14. Dowd won the Pulitzer Prize for her nasty columns on the Clintons in the 1990s.

She's launching that gig again, but it won't work. She's been mailing her writing in for years and her column no longer has the clout that it once did.

An over-the-top cheap shot column is one pathetic attempt to begin to regain her lost lustre.

[Cha]

15. #PresidentObamaNotBarry.. Tweet from Steve Benen on this..

Thank you for this, Rivers!

[betsuni]

24. She had a huge crush on George Bush Sr. when he was president. That was weird.

Columnist jobs are wasted on the wrong people.

[NanceGreggs]

26. Dating myself here ...

... but when I was in high school back in the '60s, we circulated Slam Books - wherein we wrote snarky comments about fellow students we didn't like.

Dowd has never gotten past the Slam Book phase, nor has her mind expanded beyond its adolescent mindset and its limited appeal.

[Mike Nelson]

29. Dowd is...

...the worst of the worst. Lower than FOX, she is one of the reasons the New York Times should be considered yellow journalism. Dowd soaks in the yellow.

[DonCoquixote]

30. If dowd actually had some facts

It would not be so appalling, but this is the same woman who slammed marijuana legalization after she got sick, because, despite being warned NOT to mix wine with the edible form, she did it ANYWAY.
