Maureen Dowd: Quite Illogical

Did Maureen Dowd write Sunday's NYT column before or after she stumbled home from last night's WH Correspondents' Dinner?

THE FINAL FRONTIER
"I dreamed that Spock saved our planet, The Daily Planet of journalism.... When I began covering his long-shot bid for the White House and he began referring to stories he had read in The Times, that Mr. Obama’s supple mind was nourished by news and books. You knew he would never inspire alarm as W. did, that if Condi walked too far away or his notes blew off the lectern, he’d be utterly lost."

"Once, during his campaign trip to Europe, Mr. Obama told me that he had briefly sold subscriptions to The New York Times when he was at Columbia University to help pay for school, but confessed he wasn’t very good at it.... Commanding his own unwieldy starship of blended species, with Cheney, Limbaugh and other pitiless Borg aliens firing phasers from all sides, Mr. Obama has certainly invoked Mr. Spock’s Vulcan philosophy of 'Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.' And he even recruited some impulsive Rahmulen muscle for his Utopia."
