But, fair or not, what I heard was an unspoken word in the air: You lie, boy! Ann Althouse thinks that Maureen Dowd is flagging her own insanity with that statement.
I'm reminded of this column by Jonah Goldberg, responding to assertions that the Lord of the Rings movies were racist:One is tempted to ask who is the real racist here? On the one hand we have people — like me — who see horrific, flesh-eating, dull-witted creatures with jagged feral teeth, venomous mouths, pointed devilish ears, and reptilian skin, and say, "Cool, Orcs!" On the other hand we have people, like Mr. Yatt, who see the same repugnant creatures and righteously exclaim "black people!" Maybe he should spend less time vetting movies for signs of racism and more time vetting himself... Labels: crazy people, Maureen Dowd, racism
