Dear Char--I am delighted to find such a response to my piece about Estrich. Never having seen that truly terrifying photo of her before now, I fear I may not be able to get to sleep tonight. And, whoops!--there goes my dinner.

Regards, Burt Prelutsky

"I've always thought she looks and sounds exactly like Chewbacca the Wookie!"

Personally, her voice has always reminded me of the old Burgess Meredith version of the Penguin on the 60's Batman TV show...Wauuuughh, wauuughh, wauggghhh...

Compassionate Liberal. Right up there in the Hall of Fictions with Tolerant Liberal.

Well of course Estrich only wants left-wing females writing for the Times (or any other paper). What set her off was an article Kingsley published that was critical of feminism. The following is an excerpt from the email she sent around to all of her cronies at the start of her campaign. It couldn't be more obvious that she only wants certain females to be heard.

The article last Sunday was penned by a feminist-hater I have never heard of, nor probably have you, by the name of Charlotte Allen... her only book was about Jesus and religion written eight years ago, and as far as I can tell what she does is to edit a blog for the Independent Womens Forum which is a group of right wing women who exist to get on tv and get in newspapers attacking the likes of us. Wendy Kaminer did a wonderful piece a few years ago, pointing out how this group, which has no members, no constituency, no events, no nothing except media contact sheets-- (a lot of them turn out to be the wives of the guys you see on right wing talk shows)... was created to give these women something to put under their names so they could get into the media. Since they have no jobs, standing, professorships, etc.... they put the IWF. It certainly works with the boys at the LATimes.... (a google search produces nothing else on this woman other than co-editing the blog for the Independent Womens Forum; her most recent entry comes close to celebrating Susan Sontag's death....

Incidentally, if she is going to attack these women, she could at least refrain from lying about them. Maybe this has something to do with why she is having trouble getting her tirades published?

Here is a link to her entire email if you'd like to read it. A real doozie.

That idiot Susan who's always wrong, when she says a republican's going to lose I get excited because then I know the republicans are going to win.

reading so much free republic has burned that imagine of susan into my brain. What a hideous, nightmarish image. Even worse are all the helen thomas pictures you people post, no mercy.

Meanwhile, the LA Times readership is spiraling into the toilet.

Nah, just a pillory in a public square would do

Fine by me, as long as she's in an Iron Mask and they keep her clothers on :)

picture of Susan Estrogen here somewhere

Thank God I'm on a dial up connection right now and used the "Toggle Images" feature to turn off pictures.

The presence of free radicals is considered a primary cause of the aging process.

Has Ms. Estrogen been on Hannity's show since she lit into Kinsley? I think not. Could be she crossed Hannity's line. And why not... she's crossed everyone else's.
