New York Times' TV Critic: More Sex Please
Did any oof you read this column from Thursday in which Alessandra "Baby Dowd" Stanley of the New York Times laments the facts that current scandals are about corruption, the economy, etc.? The opening sentence sets the tone: "I miss the sex". http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/weekinreview/21stanley.html?_r=2&ref=weekinreview

She also goes on to call Caroline Kennedy's quest for the Senate "Blagocevichism with better manners", implying this is a quid-pro-quo between she and Obama.

Stanley was recently criticized by Media Matters for inventing a phony fight between Hil and Obama:

1. Yeah, cuz if there's one thing prime-time TV needs more of...
...it's sex.

I won't mind at all when 2/19/09 rolls around and I can't get any TV stations anymore.

3. I've already experienced that joy in a small way.
My DTV setup won't pick up Fox.

I do get three more PBS/KET stations, and for that I am grateful.

2. He's criticizing because there's NOT enough sex? What's he high on?
