On the Opinion Page: March 12, 2008
12Mar08
In which The Gay Recluse scores selected opinion pieces in The Times.
Marueen Dowd/Ways of the Wayward
The Short Version: Elliot, Geraldine — yikes — problems!
In her words: “It makes you wonder how sharp Eliot Spitzer’s pencil was on the state’s fiscal discipline.”
Score: B (Blurry)
Dowd starts out making fun of Spitzer in a way that’s already a bit fatigued but nevertheless amusing, and uses the idea of Hillary-the-bystander (during the Bill/Monica) scandal to discuss the idiotic remarks made by Geraldine Ferraro. (Yes, our heart was broken!) If this seems a bit unfocused, that’s because it is.
