Wow

The Times' public editor notices that MoDo is a sexist asshole (and other problems at the Paper of Record).

MoDo defends:
"From the time I began writing about politics," Dowd said, "I have always played with gender stereotypes and mined them and twisted them to force the reader to be conscious of how differently we view the sexes." Now, she said, "you are asking me to treat Hillary differently than I've treated the male candidates all these years, with kid gloves."
Try to imagine if that were a columnist defending race-baiting in "in 28 of 44 columns since Jan. 1." Oh, I've always played with race stereotypes and mined them and twisted them to force the reader to be conscious of how differently we view the races.

Congratulations, New York Times: Your op-ed page is as sophisticated as "Mind of Mencia."
