[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the joke of the article that gene Weingarten is a total fusspot about food? [/quote] This! That is the whole point--that he had thought of himself as being sophisticated but is actually immature, misinformed, and whiny. It's satire.[/quote] Satire punctures someone else's pretensions. [b]If you think Weingarten is actually aware of what an ass he is -- seriously, not as a joking defense mechanism -- you are not familiar with his work. [/b] "I'm going to say something racist, but it's a joke so you can't get mad or I'll accuse you of being thin-skinned and humorless" is not the impenetrable defense he thinks it is. [/quote] I've been reading his stuff for 30+ years, and he is absolutely aware of what an ass he is![/quote]
