I often suggest you check out Maureen Dowd's column for the sheer entertainment value of its incredibly lame writing, cheap political shots at 'Wolfie', 'W', and 'Rummy', and overall mindboggling ineptness. As one of the nation's top three hundred thousand opinion shapers, though, my credibility requires me to give praise when praise is due, and today's column is remarkable for two reasons.
One, she manages to stay completely away from the Bush administration, and improves vastly as a result. On the rare occasions that Dowd's column is not devoted to slamming conservatives, she become much more readable, and occasionally even meanders near the area of 'having a point'. The second amazing thing is that she has the nerve to admit that maybe Lawrence Summers wasn't totally off the mark, in response to this study. One suspects she doesn't mean it, but still...
Most likely, this rare moment of warmth and good cheer is another side effect of my continued elation at reaching the Sweet Sixteen and being spared of facing Wake Forest. Now might be a good time to ask me for any big favors you've been storing up...
