Maureen D. & Irish Mist

May 22, 2011 by PaulM Posted in Culture, History, Lowell 2 Comments

I don’t think of NYTimes columnist Maureen Dowd as a sentimental person, at least not from her opinion pieces, but in her latest op-ed column she gets a little misty in between her wise-gal lines as she writes about the Irish embrace of both Queen Elizabeth II and President Obama. Read the column here, and get the NYT if you want more.

For a more matterr-of-fact take on President Obama’s planned visit to the ancestral Sod in Moneygall, Ireland – read Kevin Cullen in today’s Boston Globe here: http://www.boston.com/news/world/europe/articles/2011/05/22/irish_village_eagerly_awaits_obama_visit/

Time to reprise the campaign hit “There’s No One As irish As Barack Obama”
