Be Grateful For Times Select

Maureen Dowd embarassed herself again today with a column comparing Tony Blair and Tony Soprano. Did you know they both have the same first name? And that's just the beginning of the comparative fun! It seems that neither the Prime Minister nor David Chase live up to Dowd's lofty but unintelligble standards.

Dowd ends the piece with quote from Leon Wieseltier, one even more worthless than the contents of his sentencing letter to Judge Walton. (Something about mostacolli.) Another meal written off, another column phoned in.

Fortunately, Dowd's column is only online via TimesSelect, but you can get a distate of it here, via Editor & Publisher.
