Poor Maureen Dowd.
You know, the red-headed middle-aged NY Times columnist and sometime TV pundit who specializes in snarky, borderline nasty columns aimed at the personal habits of prominent politicians, and who for some unknown reason is considered attractive by a lot of the middle-aged men who pass themselves off as TV pundits (I guess, in a sort of bitter and sad but hard way).
Today her column focuses on why it’s hard to satirize Barack Obama, using the recent in-poor-taste New Yorker magazine cover as a focal point.
Poor Mo. She’s whining because she can’t make proper fun of the black guy. Aww.
Hey Maureen, last time I checked, there were TWO candidates for president, as well as the current “president,” whose incompetence should be providing a steady source of dark humor for years to come.
I guess it’s more fun to knock the democrats, eh Mo? (I still recall her memorable columns in 2000 criticizing Al Gore for his wardrobe choices. Yeah, real important issues.) Or maybe it’s because all these pundits just LO-OVE the crazy old white guy so much. After all, John McCain IS the straight-talk candidate, isn’t he?
