Item!
Atrios links to this “helpful guide” to Mickey Kaus:
Kaus is not about consistent viewpoints, penetrative analysis, or dissecting facts. He isn’t even about partisan hackery. He writes about fashion. Who’s in? Arnold’s in! Who wore the ugly dress to the Democratic debate? Kerry did! How naughty should columnists try to sound when purveying snark? Very naughty!
I don’t know that I’ve ever read Kaus, but I’ll be damned if that isn’t the PERFECT description of Maureen Dowd.
