Maybe Maureen Dowd should take over national security (hey, apparently the people in charge have not been doing all that much!). According to today’s column MoDo practically predicted that there would be a terrorist attack over the holiday.

Oh to be a fly on the wall for this dinner! Maureen Dowd takes a stab at Rush Limbaugh with her poison pen (not literally, though that might have been less painful) over Limbaugh referring to President Barack Obama as a narcissist, among other things. Also, apparently this was the dinner during which a passerby asked Rush if he was dining with a hooker.

“He was going to be the kind of guy who whipped you up and then, when you were all excited, left you flat, and then, when you were deflated and exasperated and time was running out, ensorcelled you again with some sparkly fairy dust.”

Willie Geist had Maureen Dowd call in to his new show Way Too Early With Willie Geist as his “Wake Up Call” to discuss her column in today’s New York Times comparing Sarah Palin to — who else? — Hillary Clinton. Turns out MoDo has a Palin shaped hole in her heart.
