According to the Times 'Most Emailed Articles' list, Maureen Dowd's Oct 12 Column 'To Sir, With Love' is the Times' most emailed article in the last 24 hours.
Bullshit. The upshot of duck-girl's article: 'Scooter and Karl leak Harriet Miers's missives to President Bush.' In other words, one of her idiotic "channeling" articles, in which (here) she pretends she's a fawning Harriet Miers writing George Bush. Dowd's columns of this type -- a form perfected by William Safire, who didn't do it to mock someone, but instead to say what he thought Nixon or Sharon might say if they had the opportunity -- have always been simpering awful. No one is emailing this around. No chance.
Certainly not more than the OpEd article suggesting we let infants run around in split-pants, such as the Chinese do.
The Times is padding it's "popularity" list in order to sell NYTimes Select. ('Gosh! what are we missing?').
