DESCRIPTION:
Dowd joined the Times in 1983 as a metropolitan reporter and eventually became an op-ed writer for the newspaper in 1995. In 1999, she was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for her series of columns on the Monica Lewinsky scandal in the Clinton administration. During the 1970s and the early 1980s, she worked for Time magazine and The Washington Star, where she covered news as well as sports and wrote feature articles. Maureen Dow
The Obamas. Dowd, the red-haired siren of snark, hasheld her place. The Bushes. She has been in their heads as long as they have been on our minds. It has to be said: The Dowd abides."The Washington Post. Presidents come and go, but journalists tend to stick around. And she dissects its main characters with poison in her pen and poetic punch in her deliveryDowd surely captures the theater of our politics better than anyone else: The Clintons. She's the establishment's resident shrink."New York Times Book Review"Maureen Dowd bakes a cookie with razor blades for the trick-or-treating nominees in The Year of Voting Dangerously."Sloane Crosley, bestselling author of I Was Told There'd Be Cake
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERNOW WITH A NEW PREFACE AND POST-ELECTION COLUMNS From the preeminent political columnist of our time, Maureen Dowd's most incendiary takes and takedowns on the bizarre and fascinating election of 2016.Trapped between two candidates with the highest recorded unfavorables, Americans were plunged into The Year of Voting Dangerously. If America is on the escalator to hell, then THE YEAR OF VOTING DANGEROUSLY is the perfect guide for this surreal, insane ride.. She was with the real estate mogul when he shyly approached his first Presidential rope line in 1999, and she won a Pulitzer prize that same year for her penetrating columns on the Clinton impeachment follies. Dowd has covered Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton since the '90s. In the perilous and shocking 2016 campaign, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd traced the psychologies and pathologies in one of the nastiest and most significant battles of the sexes ever. Like her bestsellers, Bushworld and Are Men Necessary?, THE YEAR OF VOTING DANGEROUSLY features Dowd's trademark cockta
Prematurely published, but still a great read. A nice (although premature) look at the 2016 Presidential race through the very sharp pen of Maureen Dowd. Since the last column in the book is from July 31, 2016 and this book was published 5 weeks later, I'm not sure why they didn't wait until after Election Day to publish (or even wait until after the Inaugural), so that this would be a compr. "Save your money." according to R. Stewart. After listening to Maureen Down on NPR, I was excited to read this book. After reading it, I think it was just OK. I enjoyed reading her columns and her impressions of the election as it unfolded. I even liked some of the going back in time columns she included to help the reader gain perspective of who these candidates were and where they came . Ken said Fun, Fascinating - and Disturbing. The perfect accompaniment to the Hillary & Donald Show. Ms. Dowd is an equal-opportunity critic, dishing on both candidates, going back to when the White House was occupied by Richard M. Nixon. Alternately fun, fascinating, and disturbing. I'm only a third through the book, but I've gotta tell you, a write-in vote is looking more and more appeal
