Interestingly, a white woman married to a Democrat governor can get a meaningless job in Academia here in NC. Just ask Mary Easley. Whoops, not now, but there she was, for a while, knocking down $180K for wearing designer suits to NCSU staff meetings.
This WP woman was the one who made the horrible comments about Katherine Harris and the John Roberts family.
