Maureen Dowd has weighed in on Gov. Mike Easley's fist bump.
In a piece published today, the caustic New York Times columnist writes about Michelle Obama's role in her husband's presidential campaign:
She’s going to take her big microphone on "The View" as a co-host next week, when she will no doubt try to put her remark about her belated pride in her country in context. And she clearly scored a pre-emptive hit both with her chic style — Vogue’s André Leon Talley declared in The Times the dawn of "a black Camelot" — and with her playful fist pump that now has older white guys, like North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley, awkwardly trying to do it with Obama.

Re: Dowd: Easley 'awkward'
Our discourse will be much better off once Dowd is put to pasture. To me, she represents the worst of the DC in-crowd mentality, where appearances and other trivial stuff are given more importance than substantive policy.
