    Maureen Dowd New York Times

    Maureen Dowd joined New York Times in 1983 as a metropolitan reporter and in 1986 she became a correspondent in the Times Washington bureau. In 1995 she became an op-ed columnist for ‘The New York Times.

    1996 she was named by Glamour magazine as a Woman of the Year. and won the 1999 Pulitzer Prize, for distinguished commentary. She won the Damon Runyon Award for outstanding contributions to journalism (2000)

    Maureen Dowd became the first Mary Alice Davis Lectureship speaker (sponsored by the School of Journalism and the Center for American History) at The University of Texas at Austin (2005).

    In August 2014 it was announced that Dowd would become a staff writer for ‘The New York Times Magazine although her first article was published on 2nd May 2015 in the ‘Times’ about her niece Tara, who had a stroke at age 41 caused by an arterial dissection in her brain.

    Maureen Dowd Column

    Maureen’s column has been described as letters to her mother, whose friends credit as “the source, the fountain of Maureen’s humor and her Irish sensibilities and her intellectual take.” Dowd at one point said, “She is in my head in the sense that I want to inform and amuse the reader.”

    Dowd’s columns are distinguished by an acerbic, often polemical writing style and they display a critical and irreverent attitude towards powerful, mostly political. She often refers to her subjects by nicknames.

    She perceives her columns to be an exploration of politics, Hollywood, and gender-related topics and often uses popular culture to support and metaphorically enhance her political commentary.

    Her column has also been described as often being political cartoons that capture a caricatured view of the current political landscape with precision and exaggeration.

    Maureen Dowd Trump

    Maureen Dowd wrote in her column about Trump and said she was not a Trump follower and that his manners offend her. She also wrote that Trump got into office due to Congress’s inability or unwillingness to do its job.

    ‘ I am not a Trump disciple. His manners offend me and the tweeting is overdone, but I do admire his resiliency against an unrelenting and unfair press. His tweeting is annoying, but it can be an effective defense. He has 43.2 million Twitter followers. The New York Times has 3.1 million subscribers.

    Trump got into office because of Congress’s inability or unwillingness to do its job. The voters were so fed up, they turned to a reality TV star instead of the 20 politicians on the menu. (Or 20.5 if you want to count Martin O’Malley.)

    Trump delivered on his promises to shake things up with a slew of executive orders undoing much of Barack Obama’s burdensome regulations and, more importantly, started to reshape the lower courts decimated by Obama’s appointments. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court may be his most lasting legacy.

    Trump’s presidency is unorthodox, but his blustering against Kim Jong-un is the only way to deal with a bully. And since Kim will want to get back at Trump, and Kim’s rockets may be able to reach only the West Coast, we’re probably all right until he can hit a red state.’

    Maureen Dowd  and The Clintons

    Maureen Dowd called out the Clintons in her column in the New York Times where she said she had had enough of Hillary and Bill Clinton.

    “I’m looking around Scotiabank Arena, the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it’s a depressing sight. It’s two-for-the-price-of-one in half the arena. The hockey rink is half curtained off, but even with that, organizers are scrambling at the last minute to cordon off more sections behind thick black curtains, they say due to a lack of sales. I paid $177 weeks in advance. (I passed on the pricey meet-and-greet option.) On the day of the event, some unsold tickets are slashed to single digits.
