Webercom: It's pretty obvious that MoDo hasn't read "Angler," WaPo writer's Barton Gellman's very thorough dissection of the Cheney Vice Presidency. Although Gellman is no fan of Cheney, the book clearly refutes MoDo's snarky interpretation of the relationship between Bush and Cheney.Then again, "Angler" is well written, substantive, and almost 400 pages.
Considering that MoDo's two books have been a compilation of columns that even Amazon says is pretty much worthless, ("Bushworld") and a screed about how she can't find a man, ("Are Men Necessary?") her failure to read or reference "Angler" may just be a bad case of the green eyed monster.
Dowd is the Jon Stewart of the NYT's editorial page....good for an occasional laugh (especially if you agree with her), but essentially non-substantive...and nowhere near as funny.
