Axelrod: ‘Patronizing and Disrespectful’ Obama Chewed Out Maureen Dowd

The Daily Beast reports:

President Obama despises Maureen Dowd—absolutely loathes the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist. He’s annoyed by Mitt Romney. And the president’s messaging guru and top gun, David Axelrod, has little regard for Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s erstwhile chief strategist.

Those are a few of the gossipy take-aways from Believer: My Forty Years in Politics, Axelrod’s hotly-anticipated (by political junkies) memoir that goes on sale today.

We suspect that Barack Obama has many people he likes less than Maureen Dowd.
