He seems to like Democrats more than the other guys, but he's an equal opportunity critic when it comes to newspaper writing. Also, pretty inside baseball a lot of the time.
And I've never understood how a stand-up comic became a serious, albeit witty, media critic.
Last time I looked, he was slamming Gail Collins for making fun of small towns in North Carolina. Or was it Indiana? Or Pennsylvania.
But making fun is what Collins is supposed to do. She's not exactly hilarious, just satisfyingly wry.
South Dakota wants its turn. It wants to have Chelsea visit its community colleges and refuse to answer questions about Monica Lewinsky. It wants to have Bill demonstrate his humility by visiting Badger and Peever and Ferney and Tea while Hillary and Barack show up for a state party fund-raiser that would, for the first time ever, actually raise some funds. “Montana had a huge dinner a while back, and there were 6,500 people for an event that usually got 400,” said Hauffe wistfully. “It just hasn’t rained in South Dakota.”
There’s no reason this can’t go on for a while longer. Hillary — who’s taken to mentioning her Web site address as often as the star of an infomercial — seems prepared, if necessary, to pay with her own money for the privilege of making 10 speeches a day, sleeping four hours a night and answering the same questions over and over again. Barack looks so tired that he seems ready to topple, but if you want to be the most powerful elected official on the planet, you ought to be able to outlast a 60-year-old woman.
