I'll admit I don't read her columns on purpose and today I stumbled on to it by accident from a link on Real Clear Politics. Here column is all about
how Obama is cool.
There’s no doubt the cat is cool. It’s easy to imagine the wild reception many parts of the world would give a President Obama as he loped down the stairs of Air Force One in his aviator glasses, the chic and chiseled Michelle on his arm.
The imagery of the 2008 race is all about cool and hot.
Obama is cool in a good way. He continues to look to the stars as the Clintons drag him down to the gutter, even when Hillary suggests he should scamper out of the kitchen since he’s so obviously sensitive to heat.
The article goes on to quote some hip-hop artist to further illustrate how Obama is cool. Is this what passes for intellectual discourse at the NYT?
Yes. Yes it is.
MoDo is laughable. Her constant reminders that she's "with-it" are cringinly embarassing.
ReplyDeleteAnd her wanting journalistic credit for tagging the first presidential candidate hip-hop moment is only about 16 yrs. too late. She conveniently forgets N.W.A. "Cop Killer"/George Bush/Dan Quayle dust-up in '92.
Ripping her articles to shreds is just too easy. Can we pick on someone else next time, KT?
