Sally Quinn founded the On Faith section of The Washington Post, and shes shown a repeated pattern of loathing conservative Christians, especially Sarah Palin.
In Saturdays , she went there again, trashing Sarah Palin as selfishly ruining our political culture, insisting she recommends a long long silent retreat for her. Rather typically, Quinn was cooing over a feminist Buddhist lecturer named Tara Brach:
Brach quotes the spiritual teacher Swami Satchidananda as saying that the difference between illness and wellness is the I in illness and the We in wellness.
What has been happening in politics in Washington lately is symptomatic of an Illness. Too many people are thinking of themselves and not of others...
Sarah Palin just called upon Congress to impeach President Obama. She says Washington is "broken. Yet she, perhaps more than anyone in our political culture, is representative of the I llness in our countrys culture. She is the epitome of self-centeredness. I suggest a long, long silent retreat for her.
This is just the latest insults in a long string. Consider a few choice examples:
September 3, 2008: Quinn insists Palin can't be a mom and vice president: "Here I am, supposedly part of you know, the -- what one would call the liberal elite media. That's what we've been all -- the critics of Sarah Palin have been called. And yet, taking the position that a woman with five children, including one with special needs, and a daughter who is a 17-year-old child who is pregnant and about to have a baby, probably has got to rethink her priorities. It seems to me that there is a tipping point, and I think that she's crossed the tipping point. I believe that it's going to be very difficult for her...I think this is -- this is too much."
July 8, 2009: On MSNBC, Quinn picks up this attack again: "Well, clearly, she has not put her family first...And these children have, it seems publicly, to have been exploited by her in a, I think, really unfortunate way." When challenged, Quinn was happy to elaborate: "Well, you know, she brings them all to the convention, including Trig, the baby. She brings the pregnant daughter with the boyfriend who clearly didn't want to be there. She then travels around with the children, using them as sort of photo ops...she brings the children up when she needs them to shore up her own image."
November 2009: When Palin's first book comes out and describes both her faith and her harsh treatment at the hands of media types like Katie Couric, Quinn went on a long rant about what God wanted for Palin, which ended this way:
Certainly Palin could say that God planned for her to publish a book that would be a huge, bestseller, go on Oprah, and make an enormous amount of money. Why would God choose her? Why would God look at the suffering around the world of so many millions and say, Sarah, I'm going to give you all of this.
Perhaps God wants more out of Sarah Palin.
You would think that God would ask of her to live her life as an example to others of a compassionate loving, caring person. One of the most powerful examples of God's love in the Bible is that of forgiveness. Turning the other cheek. But Palin's book is a screed against everyone who ever done her wrong.
Barack Baratheon will not be mocked!
Sarah can do whatever she puts her mind too!
But...but...but we’ve had a bunch of articles here over the past month where Sally’s comrades proclaimed Sarah Palin DOA! Which is it? LOL! The creeps are scared to death of Sarah. Keep it up Sarah! You’re in their empty skulls.
Well, first she had to whore herself out to the married Ben Bradlee, destroy the silly bastard's marriage before she could attain the pinnacle of her career.
Oh yeah. It's also my reply to the arch insinuation, "you have trouble with strong women, don't you?" "Of course not - you like Sarah Palin too?" Blood vessels burst.
“Smirky McJerkface.”
I’m Trademarking that phrase, but all Freepers are welcome to use it!
Sally Quinn is jealous of Palin. Didn’t Sally Quinn have rough time getting her husband to marry her?
If you want to read the biography of a complete hypocrite, here ya go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Quinn
To paraphrase Mal Reynolds from Firefly:
"Why are you still talking, Sally?"
Sarah will be living rent free in Sally's head for a long, long time.
That’s a perfect cartoon to describe the phony left.
Flak is getting heavier. Sounds like she’s over the target.
Its amazing the conservatives are supposed to go away but leftist are never supposed to do that.
"Can you show me something you've written?" asked Managing Editor Benjamin Bradlee. "I've never written anything," admitted Quinn. Pause. "Well," said [Little Ben, from the region of Ben Bradlee's belt buckle], "nobody's perfect."
Quinn is a guttersnipe, upwardly mobile trailer trash and all-around Beltway loose woman.
Sounds like war on one woman in particular
Poor Sally....her biggest *exposure* is of other outlets (primarily conservative) writing about what she says about Sarah.
Yawn.
Gee Sally, if you were an actual journalist, you too, would be asking the same questions of Obama and his crew.
**Perhaps God wants more out of Sarah Palin.***
Sally, you’re right. I bet God does want more out of this woman - to be President of the United States.
Kudos to the Mighty Quinn for pointing this out to your readers.
‘Long, long, silent retreat”
Run silent, run deep, USS Sarahcuda
Barbara Wawa did the same.
