Oh Simon
From Simon Dumenco's current Media Guy column:
"Did you catch the recent New York Times article about the rehabilitation of the word "slut"? Pulitzer Prize-winning D.C.-based Op-Ed columnist Maureen Dowd did. She wrote a whole column about it and helpfully rounded things out by doing some original reporting. Specifically, she interviewed her "23-year-old assistant, Ashley," "my classy 26-year-old girlfriend," "one 24-year-old Washington reporter," and "one 25-year-old writer in D.C." Thanks for reaching out, Mo.
You know, I was going to write a column this week that would consist of my interviewing my boyfriend, my cats and my toaster-oven about what they thought of Maureen Dowd's Times piece about a Times piece-but instead I'm turning it into a screenplay for a Lifetime miniseries."
***
Apparently Simon does not realize that this is a REALLY GOOD IDEA. I'd especially like to hear what the toaster oven has to say.
I love Simon. *nods*
