Almost 66-year-old Gail Collins, who I check in on every now and again, is still working what little she has:

All of us, regardless of political persuasion, have a stake in trying to keep the Republican presidential fight going through the winter. These are tough times. (“Sesame Street” just announced it’s adding a poverty-stricken Muppet.) We need diversion.

Plus, it doesn’t look as if there’s going to be a professional basketball season. And I cannot really figure out that many ways to mention that Romney once drove to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car.
...
But maybe there’s another reality TV host we can get into the race. Jeff Probst, the guy from “Survivor,” might be good. On the show, whenever a team loses a competition, he always says something like: “Kaluha Tribe, I’ve got nothing for you.” It’s sort of a signature. Think how useful that would be for a president. (“Future Social Security recipients, I’ve got nothing for you.”)

Can somebody please tell that lady she's not very funny, and hush her up already? It's all jokes and sillies to her, but to those people honestly struggling with nothing to count on in the future, survival really isn't a game Gail.

Do you really not get that?
Don't care? Hoping to get the female Dave Barry's slot?

I honestly don't get her appeal, nor why she continues to peddle this offensive schtick. At least, she seems to have very few imitators in that liberal niche...
