Apropos of her last column

Dowd again, this time it's Obama:

Many people I talked to afterward found Michelle [Obama] wondrous. But others worried that her chiding was emasculating, casting her husband — under fire for lacking experience — as an undisciplined child.

This is the New York Times' darling once again pawing the earth like a bull readying herself for a full-strength charge at Barack Obama. Soon he--for having a seemingly healthy, jocular relationship with his wife--will be painted as the pillowy, novice candidate whose apparent gravitas rests on his willingness to lets his wife wear the pants. My prediction: He will be, in the Dowd narrative, the middleweight candidate between heavyweight Hillary and John Edwards the Pansy.
