It's gotta be a slow news day when
Mayor de Blasio eating pizza with knife and fork deserves a whole
column from Maureen Dowd in today's New York Times.
As did Ms. Dowd, my wife and I also
howled at Jon Stewart's takeout on the mayor's gustatory gaffe (to
pizza purists, anyway). He was in Staten Island, after all,
fingers-first country. But a whole column, Mo? Maybe it was just
“let's give Chris Christie a break day.”
OK, full confession: sometimes we, too,
start a slice with knife and fork to spare the roofs of our mouths
from being scorched. But then its full-fold-fingers mode right down
to the crust, as long as that's not too thick.
Politicians have always tried to win ethnic votes by publicly tasting their favorite foods. It's a
lot easier to appeal for votes with sticky fingers than sticky
issues.
Now let's get back to real meaty news:
SCANDALS.
