One of the more arduous tasks I faced at Gawker most mornings was coming up with new and clever ways to suggest that Post gossip dowager Cindy Adams was actually a member of the tribe of living dead. (Obviously, I failed.) In any event, it’s a good thing I’m no longer there, because I have no idea how I’d set this one up. Dropped into this morning’s column, completely without context or reason, is this gem:
