NY Times Columnist Maureen Dowd’s columns have lost of their sheen.

From FishbowlNY.

It’s not just us! Per Jon Friedman today:

Once, every column from my favorite Washington pundit — who skewered pompous, corrupt and incompetent public servants — was a gem. Oh sure, Dowd can still sparkle frequently — just not every time out, like before.

 

Actually, we sort of think she’s only really begun to “sparkle” again since mid-June, but okay. However, here’s where we part ways. Friedman thinks Dowd’s Achilles heel is her (and everyone else’s) inability to make fun of Obama.

 

Dowd is sharp when she writes about how others view Obama, but less successful when he is her target. She, like many others, hasn’t yet been able to locate Obama’s funny bone.

 

The liberal media is calculating that the Democrats have their best chance in years to capture the White House and are protecting Obama as if he was the Messiah or even a Saint that is immune from criticism of any kind.  That strategy could backfire in November as voters realize they haven’t been given the straight scoop on the candidates.
