There always seems to be a moment in a MoDo column where she goes overboard in her zeal to be clever while trying to make her point. Here is where she blows it today:

"....and get Americans to rip up Social Security"

See, she goes and writes a sloppy line like that and you end up smiling and shaking your head and merely scanning what's left of her column because you know, once again, that you just can't trust her. When it comes to credibility, she's her own worst enemy.

Didn't the New York Times once upon a time have careful, thoughtful columnists?
MoDo is the best they can do?

By the way, has the New York Times bothered to try to find a token conservative columnist to replace Safire?

You're exactly right. I was actually giving the article a chance, to see if she had anything interesting to say. Then I got to that childish bit of screechingly asinine hyperbole and remembered why I long ago stopped looking for nuggets of insight in her typings.

She really is a complete idiot.
