Who's Dowdy?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010
In her decade on the New York Times op-ed page, Maureen Dowd has reinvented the newspaper column as a twice-weekly roast of the powers that be. On tour for her new book Are Men Necessary?, Dowd tells Brian Lehrer that "humor is a fantastic way to get across to the truth, in a way that is alluring to readers." Plus: Bob Hennelly from the NJ lobbyist train, and the history of Johnny Cash's album, "At Folsom Prison."
