One salutary by-product of all the hate and vitriol spilling out of the right is that Maureen Dowd appears to have woken up to the fact that there are more important things than Maureen Dowd. She actually wrote a reasonably good column today, in which she deals seriously with a serious subject-the racial animus behind the anti-Obama movement in this country. And I understand, from other sources, that this is her second reasonably good column in a row. It’s a shame that it’s taken a rebirth of what we thought was a bygone brand of American racism to bring Dowd to at least temporarily address real issues, but we have to take what we can get these days.
