But What To Do With The Extra Time? Exercise?

 

Looks like I’m not the only one who noticed Maureen Dowd’s absurd lede in today’s NYT (see the previous post).  23/6, the oft-satiric news Web site started by the masterminds behind HuffPo, has created a new feature called “Dowd: Distilled”, which aims to condense her Wednesday column into 38 words.  It makes for a breezy read in addition to being somewhat amusing, which is more than I can say for her column.  The first installment is listed below:

Charming, glib guy

no-nonsense, driven girl

Hill and Bill

precocious boy wonder

filigreed narrative

The Terminator

Clinton dysfunction.

second-fiddle to a superstar pol

White House
