This just occurred to me: Maureen Dowd may be the Betty McCollum of columnists:
As I sat above the Hoover Dam under the broiling sun, I was getting jittery.
There was Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona, speaking at the dedication of a bridge linking Arizona and Nevada 890 feet above the Colorado River.
As the politicians droned on and my Irish skin turned toasty brown, I worried that Governor Brewer might make a citizen’s arrest and I would have to run for my life across the desert. She has, after all, declared open season on anyone with a suspicious skin tone in her state.
The Irish never turn “toasty brown”.
And the only “suspicious skin tone” this country should open a season on is that waxy, corpse-like newsroom pallor.
Kidding. I kid.
