Well it appears that the out of character MoDo article on the Obamination’s funding was phoney.
No wonder I couldn’t find it on the internet last night before I crawled off to bed:
The Maureen Dowd internet fundraising story may have been faked. It wasn’t on the NY Times web site for Jun 29th.
This page is from Obama’s site, but it confirms this story was not by Maureen Dowd.
Thanks to PhillyGuy1 for this reply and to the others who spotted the fake column and pinged us.

It will be interesting to see if Dowd investigates the source. Or if she silently condones the identity fraud of her name being used.
Odd, isn’t it? I’ve followed the various trackbacks and it’s still not easy to discover where the piece originated.
It seemed like a spoof at first reading- but it doesn’t have enough obvious satire to be a joke.
Hard to know just what to make of this one- but that’s SOP in this election cycle.
