The question which must be asked is whether Maureen Dowd is really necessary..... She even managed to combine politics and gender in her November 5 column: "I've said it before and I'll say it again," she began. "Men are simply not biologically suited to hold higher office. The Bush administration has proved that once and for all," she continued, before firing darts at former Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown, President Bush and the "Mean Girls cabal headed by Dick Cheney, Rummy and the Rummy aide Douglas Feith." "Are Men Necessary?" (the title is a twist on E.B. White and James Thurber's 1929 work, "Is Sex Necessary?") starts with a question of genetics, Dowd told CNN. "There's a body of evidence now that the Y chromosome is rotting at such a fast rate that it will go out of business in about 100,000 years," she said on "American Morning." "So now that women don't need men to reproduce and refinance, the question is, will we keep you around? And the answer is," she added puckishly, "you know we need you in the way we need ice cream, you'll be more ornamental." (A Times book reviewer has noted that other research indicates the Y chromosome has stabilized.) cnn.com
