No Mo' MoDo?
How our heart skipped to read that Maureen Dowd was "herewith resigning as a member of the liberal media elite." Finally! She must have finally run out of soggy pop culture references to cross with political spin! Well, actually, she ran out of them a long time ago.... And it turns out she's not even really resigning , she's just phoning it in again: "For the right price, I can be had, too." See other columnists' versions of this joke here , here , and here . How lazy is this joke?We made it . Though, really, what bothers us about Maureen's column isn't that it's unoriginal, it's that it's true. The NYT has been paying her price for years.
