Don’t forget Sally Quinn, the DC doyenne and lib hostess, married to WashPost former editor and her then married boss, Ben Bradlee, whom she landed.
**And so, Ben landed Sally, soon followed by his divorce from then-wife Toni. Although perhaps apocryphal, the story goes like this: she was looking for a job and walked into the Washington Post one day to apply for a party reporter position. He was smitten. She told him one salient detail; she had never written a story before.“Nobody’s perfect,” he barked.**

Her latest article is so patronizing and insulting:
Palin’s Peculiar Family Values
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/sally_quinn/2009/07/palins_peculiar_family_values.html
Her WashPost column is called “On Faith.” Funny .. she’s not religious, never has been mentioned in any way with faith in God.
And as if she’s the paragon of virtue and morality.

“As a Washington Post writer, she helped set the standard for tough profiles in the Post’s Style section in the 1970s. She also married her boss, Ben Bradlee, then the Post’s executive editor.
Quinn and Bradlee hosted boozy, elegant dinner parties at their Georgetown home; Quinn wrote novels and a book about being a hostess. She picked a fight with Hillary Rodham Clinton when the latter was First Lady and deemed the Clintons not fit for the Washington social scene.
But she never found religion.
“I’ve been an atheist all my life,” she says. “Jon convinced me not to use that word. He said I was defining myself negatively.
“So I don’t call myself anything,” she says. “A seeker, perhaps.”
Quinn was casting about for her next move when she sought guidance from a higher authority.
“I had been interested for a couple of years in religion and how it affects policy,” she says. “I was thinking of writing a book about religion in Washington.”
Why not religion online? “I described my idea to Don Graham,” Quinn says. “He thought it was a great idea.”
She then told Graham: “I don’t know anything about religion.”
****
She just put her finger in the wind, and decided it had cachet and currency .. it’s just a means to her self-invested ends and a way to keep her face and ego out there.

If any of you saw Sally’s disingenuous and condescending take on Sarah’s resignation with Laura Ingraham on BOR’s show, it’s easy to get big picture of the libs’ purposeful convergence of attacks on their enemies, she being one of their biggest. Of course, Cheney’s also on the front burner as well.
The Bradlee’s have a special needs son, who contributes for The Daily Beast.
He was born with Velo-Cardio-Facial syndrome, which is characterized by cleft palate, heart abnormalities, learning disabilities, and over 180 other clinical findings.
Among other reasons, she’s also focusing on this to presume to dictate to Palin what she should be doing due to Trig and her family situations, and inferring she’s a bad mother if she doesn’t.

From Newsbusters:
“Appearing on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, Washington Post writer and founder of the paper’s On Faith blog, Sally Quinn, exclaimed of Sarah Palin: “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.
Even anchor David Shuster, who on Wednesday declared that Palin had “no future” politically, questioned Quinn’s accusation: “Sally, the use of the word ‘exploited’ is pretty strong. Give us some specific examples that you think qualifies for that?” 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.”
Quinn even seemed to blame Palin for defending her family against David Letterman’s attacks: “It just seemed to me that the David Letterman situation where she whipped that up into a huge scene, bringing in her other daughter Willow and making a big – a big to-do about it when she could have just let it go.”

The game is on .. and from all liberal sides. These people are truly evil and shameless.
Good finds, STARWISE. Thanks.
Yes it is. I suggest we fight back. As hard as if maybe our country was in danger.
Once upon a time, it was said that Jews were evil and anything could be said about them and done to them. Now its conservative Americans.
I don't feel like seeking their favor or approval.
The msm/dbm can't get a solid thing wrong of consequence with Palin so they cry baby about every little tiny detail they can make up like going after a bunch of made up misdeeds that have little if anything to do with Sarah's values. Just shows how desperate the queen of the drive-bys truly is.
Quinn doesn’t know anything about anything. Her only qualification is stealing another woman’s husband.
