Not bad, not bad.

Certainly, Judith Regan is, hands down, the most successful editor in the book business; not only has she sold millions of pallets of books, but she's put a decided spin on the culture, too (she almost single-handedly moved RUSH LIMBAUGH and HOWARD STERN off of the radio and out into the mass market, but she isn't just RUSH and HOWARD; her oeuvre includes O.J. prosecutor Christopher Darden, Gen-Xer Douglas Coupland, Oprah novelist Wally Lamb, and diet-category-killer The Zone).
She is said to be responsible for a king's ransom of the HarperCollins bottom line (as much as 25 percent, I have heard); and Murdoch has given her an imprint, ReganBooks, along with her own Fox talk show, "This Evening With Judith Regan."
I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy Regan does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have near heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms.
The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"
Monica-bashing book editor Judith Regan doesn't feel your pain -- or anyone else's, for that matter. She feels her own pain! And therein lies the secret to her blazing success.

This story, which was published a few years ago, was quite long, and I didn't copy the whole thing. Many other interesting things about Judith Regan if you want to check it out.
Not bad, not bad.
Judith Regan is a great dame. I totally admire her for the publishing empire she has built.
It is hard to believe that the same person served as an editor both to Rush and to Stern.
Are you saying this is the picture of her? It doesn't look like the pictures I've seen of her. Perhaps she just looks different in this picture, but I will say, she is a good looking woman.
Unfortunately, it seems the dirtbag is going to be on radio until his current contract runs out. Then, finally, he's off into Sirius oblivion.
That's one of several that popped up on Google. I wouldn't swear on a stack of Bibles that it is actually her, but Google seldom lets me down.
Yeah, that's her... it's just an older photo, before she started the "eat like Oprah" plan.
By the way, Judith Regan and Michael Woolf used to be friends, but had a falling out. Vanity Fair has a long article on Judith Regan this month.
Would you happen to have the link?
Not sure I buy this.
Don't like Bill Clinton -- don't want to have sex with him.
Like Rush Limbaugh -- don't want to have sex with him.
Like President Bush -- don't want to have sex with him (we're both married, after all, but I admit getting that little smile on my face whenever I see the brush-clearing picture!)
Try the brush-clearing picture as wallpaper...
What is it with women and brush clearing?
My wife claims she loves it when I take off my shirt and fire up a chainsaw.
Says it's something about the sweat and the sawdust.
I think it's just a ploy...
If I take off shirt, my chainsaw would be placed back in it's holster. Timber........
There's a long and basically unfriendly article on Regan in the current Vanity Fair.
Not on line, unfortunately.
The article is hilarious, thanks! Definitely sounds like a female landshark whose path you should stay out of.:)
Can you give a summary?
