Debating Maureen Dowd: Because it’s been a while

New Yorker film critic David Denby dumps on snark — his new book is called Snark: It’s Mean, its Personal, and it’s Ruining our Conversation — and chooses NYT columnist Maureen Dowd as an example of all that’s amiss. Charlie Rose rises to her defence. The debate resembles one I once had many years ago with Colleague Feschuk, although Denby and Rose leave out the armpit farts.
