Dumber than Dowd

The box of wine showed up on her doorstep earlier than usual today, and Ann Althouse is already coughing up her soul to Maureen Dowd:But, really, the complaints you hear about Michelle Obama are not about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. They're about patriotism and racism. Is it really the case that the French would shrug it off if Bruni's lyrics were "God damn France" and a rant against the nonwhite French? The Obama campaign has to respond to the interpretation of things Michelle Obama has said - "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country" - and rumors about what she is purported to have said - "whitey" - or condoned - Jeremiah Wright's "God damn America." It makes no sense to suggest that we could just be more like the French.
