OK, let's speculate about Maureen Dowd's column in the NYT this Sunday.

What are the odds that MoDo won't seize on Obama's tan suit as an oh-so-tortured metaphor for a presidency she never misses a chance to kick to the curb? I say 100-1 it's going to happen; she's probably polishing the final version as I sit here at my keyboard. Any doubters out there?

than reading a Maureen Dowd column. Self-castration, stopping a motorboat propeller with your tongue, something.

If I don't read it, it didn't happen.

After last week's desecration of the Gettysburg Address to trash Obama's golfing, I don't think MoDo has any more shame than she has journalistic talent.

Her snarkiness has escalated in vain hopes by her it covers her inability to analyze ANYTHING with any depth is gone gone gone.

Admittedly I used to enjoy it when she impaled Bush and Cheney, but it seems now that she is taking her disappointment in the President personally as opposed to philosophically. I think she felt snubbed by no personal dinner invitation by him or some such nonsense. Her columns are just acid, not clever, and make no worthy observations.

Now Gail Collins? Fablulous.

Noticed they announced they moved Maureen to the magazine. Don't know if she will still have her column in the paper. Hope her personality does not impact the magazine.

She's probably got the whole thing written. Another slam on "Obambi". I will never forget her attacks on Gore.

Who wants to bet she'll bring Gore into it too?
