Ha..Ha. Did she get paid to write this?

[Senator Pardek]

Any move to limit abortion rights is an attack on you -- whether or not you believe in abortion. The fact that Clarence Thomas is sitting on the Supreme Court today is an attack on you. - Nora Ephron

[okie01]

Is this the same Ephron who used to appear as the consumer reporter on That Was The Week That Was?

If so, she had bigger problems than a bad Lilt job...

[jackbill]

Every eight-hour day there were theoretically 48,000 words that weren't being typed because I didn't have a desk.

And for that, we should be eternally grateful.

[William McKinley]

She sounds bitter that JFK boinked the gal who couldn't type instead of her.

[Consort]

"What?"

Maybe the most important word in her life. Suppose Marilyn has said "What?".

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" On the other hand, perhaps it's simply because J.F.K. somehow sensed that discretion was not my middle name "

Nora was married, at one time, to Carl Bernstein-who cheated on her, when she was pregnant. After the divorce,she wrote the book ,Heartburn, which chronicled Carl's adultery,became a best seller and was made into a movie,starring Meryl Streep.But, I doubt Nora would have broken the Democrat's code of Omerta, when it comes to their cheating,sleazy,lying Presidents.

[KellyAdmirer]

What she doesn't realize is that he actually yelled "Why don't you come along" and that she missed her only chance to realize her sordid dreams....

[gcruse]

Typing was not a skill that anyone seemed to need,
 and it certainly wasn't necessary for interns like me

The GAO took a survey some years back to see how
many secretaries in Washington DC actually had
clerical skills and how many were there just to get
a man.

It turned out that 68% of secretaries could
actually touch type; the rest of them
were hunt 'n peckers.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I thought the article was funny. Then I read the quote. It completely ruined it!

[Senator Pardek]

Coward.

[Cathryn Crawford]

Ahhh. I had the impression you had forgotten about that.

I'm no coward. I just remember the uncle and the brother comments.

[Cathryn Crawford]

FOFLOL...that's kinda the impression I got on the second read.

[liberallarry]

...Democrat's code of Omerta, when it comes to their cheating,sleazy,lying Presidents.

Give me a break. You can't really believe that sexual "indiscretion" is solely a Democratic failing. No one can be that silly.

[Charles Henrickson]

Nora's a Wellesley girl, you know:

[Palladin]

No--no....the Repulicans' only vice is gambling. And writing books about virtue.
