When Maureen goes off the rails she goes way way off. And lately she has been off the rails constantly. I fear she will never find them again

Williams’ death was a sad thing. But in all the internet mourning and remembrances, ruminations on depression, tears of a clown, etc, I felt like something was missing somehow.

And now I know what it was. We hadn’t heard from Maureen Dowd. Now the circle is complete.

Thanks, Mo. Our void has been sated.

No wonder she’s being shunted off to the “New York Times Magazine” and “giving up” one column per week.

Actually she thinks of BILL Clinton all of the time, but is repressing it in print. So Hillary becomes the stand-in.

A word I use too much, vile, is the word I’m going to use to describe Dowd’s scribblings today which I read before I came here. She mourns Robin, and and she doesn’t care for the president or Hillary, and it was a strange segue.

So when I think of Williams, I think of Kelly. And when I think of Kelly, I think of Hillary

So when I think of Robin Williams, I think of his masterful riff on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, and when I think of Mr. Rogers" Neighborhood, I think of Lady Elaine Fairchilde, and when I think of Lady Elaine Fairchilde, I think of Maureen Dowd.

When Maureen was baked out of her mind by the Wicked Brownie it made her think of Hillary Clinton.

She went off the rails because the engineer for the Maureen Express is more stoned than an adulterer in the Old Testament,

And here Maureen thought her Colorado experience was all bad. Little did she know the aftereffects would provide for a lot of paranoid fantasies.

After her little THC-acid-trip?
MoDo promptly had a gross of those candybars dropshipped to Manhattan.
Seemingly hasn’t come down yet.

Loose associative reasoning may or may not be a sign of a psychological disorder, but it is definitely another compelling reason why Dowd now needs to do something else for a living. She has become a predictable bore.

Maureen Dowd hasn’t been relevant since the '90s. The Times should do the humane thing and let her down easily.

Must be a slow news day when you report what some staff writer had to say.

Robin Williams death made her think of Hillary? Damn, that woman needs to get out more.

This is a wonderful example of a “one trick pony.”

Maureen Dowd should no longer be taken seriously as a political journalist. She has lost all credibility.
