The San Francisco Gate takes a frighteningly in-depth look at New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. What do we learn about? Basically her whole life history, her aversion to therapy, and — just in time for Fashion Week — her take on personal style:

I've made a lot of fashion mistakes," she said, noting that David Letterman recently asked her why she was dressed for the prom and Don Imus told her she looked like a Charlotte Hornets cheerleader. Her problem, she explains, is that she wears mostly vintage clothes, and that means floaty dresses and beaded sweaters. Her friend the New York Times reporter Alessandra Stanley had just called to say "No Siegfried and Roy," which means no sequins.

Nothing gets us more excited than thinking about a liberal Times columnist in second-hand spangles. It's a perfect combination of all our Gray Lady fantasies!
