Good old Andrea. Just when you start to think that The Post's hard-hitting harpy might be going soft, she finds a new straw man to shred:

It's time to let the truth be known: "The Gates"—that manically promoted, ludicrously expensive sculpture project now infesting Central Park—is the artistic equivalent of a yard that's been strewn with stained toilet paper by juvenile delinquents on Halloween.

She also notes that, "Christo and Jeanne-Claude claim that the hue of the weirdly pleated cloth is 'saffron.' But, as any American junior-high-school kid will tell you, the precise shade is 'vomit orange.'"

Nice work, Andrea, but we woulda gone with 'Guantánamo orange.'
