Maureen Dowd keeps calm and carries on

Thanks, Maureen, for fighting the good fight against our incompetent president.

I enjoyed your letter to 45 in today's New York Times.

For anyone who missed it, here's a link:

Here are a few of her quips:

Instead, you dragged that motley skeleton crew into the White House and let them create a feuding, leaking, belligerent, conspiratorial, sycophantic atmosphere. Instead of a smooth, classy operator like James Baker, you have a Manichaean anarchist in Steve Bannon.
You knew the Republicans were full of hot air. They haven’t had to pass anything in a long time, and they have no aptitude for governing. To paraphrase an old Barney Frank line, asking the Republicans to govern is like asking Frank to judge the Miss America contest — “If your heart’s not in it, you don’t do a very good job.”
...It took W. years to smash everything. You’re way ahead of schedule.
