Shorter Maureen Dowd...

For those of you who had trouble interpreting MoDo's column in the Times, here's a translation (sorry, I don't link to the Times-pay-for-me crap).

And here's the essence of MoDo (Michael) speaking to Fredo (Judy):

"Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever." [The Godfather, 1972]
