Media reports indicate a shift in Democratic enthusiasm from Hillary Clinton to Michelle Obama, with Clinton's speaking tour tickets appearing on Groupon while Obama's book tour sells out internationally. Columnist Maureen Dowd has been critical of the Clintons' continued public presence. The discussion suggests that the "Russia collusion" narrative creates a strategic dilemma for Democrats: if the 2016 election was rigged, it implies Clinton is the rightful leader, complicating the rise of new candidates.

Mainstream media figures, including Maureen Dowd, used the passing of George H.W. Bush to draw sharp contrasts with President Donald Trump. Commentators praised Bush's modesty and lack of personal pronouns in speech as a foil to Trump's perceived narcissism. Critics argued that this sudden media adoration for Bush was a passive-aggressive maneuver driven by a deep-seated dislike for the current administration.

Columnist Maureen Dowd is scrutinized for allegedly plagiarizing a paragraph from Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo blog in the New York Times. The hosts analyze the text, noting that only the pronoun "we" was changed to "the Bush crowd," likely by an editor. They highlight the irony of Dowd being the person who originally exposed Joe Biden's plagiarism in 1987.

Observations from the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) contrast the speaking styles of Rush Limbaugh and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.
