Dowd ANTI-admirer here, but she was quoting HER TRUMPIST BROTHER. Hortensis Nov 2020 #69

Oh yeah we all owe her a big fat apology. Voltaire2 Nov 2020 #73

So because she was just quoting someone Dem4Life1102 Nov 2020 #75

It's the reader's responsibility to understand, and NYT readers Hortensis Nov 2020 #78

She published it under her byline Dem4Life1102 Nov 2020 #79

:) Responsibility means those who have it can't give it away. Hortensis Nov 2020 #82

Yet she gave away her column space Dem4Life1102 Nov 2020 #84

Her brother Kevin wrote it. Raftergirl Nov 2020 #5

She's having a champagne cocktail while he bemoans Democrat elitism? nolabear Nov 2020 #45

Yes, it should not have been published by nyt... Meowmee Nov 2020 #112

It is her wingnut brother who wrote it. N/t Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #9

If she let him write this knowing he is a wingnut standingtall Nov 2020 #62

The OP didn't allege she was vicariously responsible Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #63

That piece is written by her Trumper brother Kevin BeyondGeography Nov 2020 #10

Im not understanding how anybody thinks she should be defending standingtall Nov 2020 #64

Hot off the gasbag's own press sects desk. This mahina Nov 2020 #11

It's not hers, it's her brother's. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #23

Every Thanksgiving she does this. Biophilic Nov 2020 #34

It's her Trumpazoid brother Kevin's piece, not hers. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #16

Thanks for the correction. I deleted my post. Eyeball_Kid Nov 2020 #20

Maybe she let him have her space to make him look stupid. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #24

One would think the OP would edit, wouldn't one? cwydro Nov 2020 #37

One would think. And one would also think people would read the piece itself The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #43

One would think this pointless defense of her column kcr Nov 2020 #88

No one is defending it, or at least I'm not. cwydro Nov 2020 #91

There is a difference between correcting factual misstatements Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #94

It also matters how you correct kcr Nov 2020 #96

The OP (to which these posts are responding) Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #101

Again, I'm not protesting correction. kcr Nov 2020 #106

No trick at all. Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #108

Unfortunately, too many people around here have a knee jerk reaction Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #99

As if all these correctors kcr Nov 2020 #100

No one is pretending it doesn't matter - we are correcting a misstatement of fact by the OP Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #102

It's been literally said in this thread. Multiple times. kcr Nov 2020 #104

That is a DIFFERENT discussion that those of us correcting the post are engaging in. Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #110

Is she the one Bartcop used to call Dragon-lady? n/t gay texan Nov 2020 #15

He used to say "Maureen Dowd hates everybody. Today it's _______." Gidney N Cloyd Nov 2020 #19

Once again, it's her brother's piece, not hers. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #27

People jump to conclusions really quickly around here. cwydro Nov 2020 #33

People don't f&cking READ THE LINKED ITEM before opining! The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #38

I know. cwydro Nov 2020 #47

But she still published it Dem4Life1102 Nov 2020 #76

That's a different issue. The point is that the piece was represented as being BY her The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #77

Ok that's fair Dem4Life1102 Nov 2020 #80

But it really isn't a different issue. kcr Nov 2020 #98

Yieks! Since she didn't write it, you want the times to fire her? jimfields33 Nov 2020 #29

*sigh* ONCE MORE: She didn't write it. Her brother wrote it. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #41

Thread title is a wee bit misleading, then Martin Eden Nov 2020 #52

Be that as it may, it's always a good idea to read the actual piece The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2020 #53

Maybe she's auditioning for wife #4 since it's time for a trade-in. Vinca Nov 2020 #81

It would be her brother who is auditioning for that role. Ms. Toad Nov 2020 #86

So she didn't go to her Trump-loving family's Thanksgiving frazzled Nov 2020 #83

Thank you. You said it best. cwydro Nov 2020 #87

It's always kind of obvious that when frazzled Nov 2020 #95
