“This column checks all the wrong boxes,” writes the Bangor Daily News Editorial Board.

A Maine newspaper criticized it. New York Post Earlier this week, he called it “the worst Maine travel piece of the year” to publish a “fun” travel column.

Realtors can set up an entire campsite on the average donkey.

Adams also wrote that Mainers considered flannel formal attire, “there just isn’t enough fabric on NYC’s Seventh Street to cover any behinds.”

The Bangor Daily News The editorial board responded with the headline “The worst Maine travel piece of the year has arrived.” New York PostColumn: “Truly horrible action against the Pine Tree State and the people here.

“This column checks all the wrong boxes: Adams judges other people’s bodies and fashion, makes valid mistakes, and uses the word Maine,” wrote the newspaper’s editorial board.

When the board asked Adams to coin the phrase “downcoast” and mistakenly state that President George W. Bush was from there, he said, “You really lost us when you didn’t stop criticizing the width of people’s hips.” Seriously,” the board wrote.

“Ignoring the fact that Adams was not the only tourist in Maine at the time, and ignoring the fact that some of those derriere and clothing may have been imported like hers, it is truly puzzling to see anyone think this is an accurate opinion of a state or people. ” wrote the editorial board. “Who cares what other people look like or wear? It is shame piled on stigma.”

“Adams concludes her point by saying that she is returning to New York and civilization,” the editorial board wrote. “We hope you enjoy the city. Where we come from, civilization means respecting people’s appearance instead of taking it for granted.
