"Fisking Dowd," says commenter Conrad, "is ungallant. It's like beating up yor baby sister."
Yeah, well, whatever. Sometimes it just can't be avoided.
As I keep saying, people these days seem to like to get their political opinions via osmosis from whatever prevailing winds blow from the comedian's stage. I don't think it's too much to imagine that at least as many politically-minded people read the New York Times for Maureen Dowd's staggeringly obtuse editorial insights as for the front-page headlines where the bias is limited to which facts can be trumpeted and which can be hidden away, depending.
So when one of her columns appears, how can someone like Stephen Green not instantly sling spidey-webs all over it?
It's well worth a read. But, as with most things of this nature, only those who already wish to see Dowd punctured and jetting flatulently around the room will enjoy it, or see it at all.
