NOT THE TIMES AGAIN!

Dowd is a gifted writer with a trenchant wit, though her talent is largely squandered: She seldom expresses a constructive thought. As I put it in an earlier column, she is mainly a standup comic specializing in insults -- Don Rickles with an exceptionally high language quotient.

The disgusting and puerile Maureen Dowd gets her ass torn, but good.
