Everything Old is New Again

Of course, it is all Bill Clinton's fault.

It takes a lot of nerve for the Clinton-hating Washington Post, which peddled Ken Starr's and the Scaifettes' smears for years, calling it "news," to publish this garbage. The paper hasn't changed its tune twenty years later.

The reason the paper, indeed the entire Beltway corp of "journalists," hated the Clintons is for the stupidest and most petty of reasons. It is because the Clintons, especially Hillary Clinton, wouldn't kiss the ass of the queen Beltway whore herself, Sally Quinn, whose only claim to fame was the fact she slept her way to the top.

You can read my bile about Quinn and company from this oldie but goodie from 2008.

Yesterday I Posted a YouTube

clip of the old CBS Morning News with Hughes Rudd and Sally Quinn. Well, CBS has an hour of this show, so it must be about complete:

Sally Quinn evidently was sick during the initial broadcast, but she didn't get any better as time went on.

When Uploading the Previous Video,

I came across these video excerpts of the CBS Morning News, apparently the debut episode with Hughes Rudd and Sally Quinn. Quinn was a freaking disaster, a complete airhead, and she didn't last long on the job. She was as bad as I remember.

Quinn went back to the Washington Post and later married her shack-up, editor Ben Bradlee.

One can see an interview clip of Dan Rather with Pat Buchanan, a clip of Heywood Hale Broun talking about Saratoga, and since this broadcast was in August of 1973, no doubt he was following Secretariat and his entourage. Secretariat, as you may recall, lost the Whitney Stakes because he had come down with a fever.

Society Nonsense

Beltway Slut-in-Chief Sally Quinn ponders what church the Obamas will attend in Washington. And no, I am not going to make any crack about Louis Farrakhan or Jeremiah Wright holding prayer breakfasts in the White House.

We will have to wait and see whether the Obamas get the seal of approval from Quinn, or whether Michelle, like Hillary Clinton before her, does something to piss her off.

So far, in the eyes of the Beltway Mob, the Obamas have passed muster. They enrolled their daughters at Sidwell Friends, the same school Chelsea Clinton attended. Before reading the article I suspected their reasoning is similar to the Clintons' reasoning that the media won't be able to freely access the school and the girls will get some privacy.

I thought about Michelle Obama's rather obvious status-seeking, but the security argument was the real reason. The article mentions it:

Lelyveld declined to elaborate on the reasons, but it is believed that Sidwell's experience with handling the security and privacy of the children of government leaders played a role. President Richard Nixon's daughter Tricia went to Sidwell. Vice President Al Gore's son, Albert Gore III, graduated from there. Three granddaughters of Vice President-elect Joe Biden currently attend the school: Maisy, 8; Finnegan, 10; and Naomi, 14.

The daughters also like Biden's grandkids, students at the school, and that was a factor.

Gene Lyons

finds himself agreeing with the troublemaker William A. Donohue of the Catholic League over the "wafergate" nonsense.

Lyons especially agreed with Donohue's statements regarding the Beltway Slut, who Gene Lyons tactifully calls the "successful Monica Lewinsky," more polite than my nickname for her, but an insult to the former White House intern. Donohue didn't like her remarks about taking communion at Tim Russert's funeral service a few weeks ago.

Lyons critiques the blogger who made a big goddamned deal out of the stolen wafer at the University of Central Florida, which the thief returned. When Donohue rightly criticized this blogger, the dumb shit "progressives" in the blogosphere, many of whom are anti-Catholic bigots, went into action by defending this guy. It was stupid to behold. These "progressives" or "militant atheists" became exactly what they criticize others of being.

Here is the original piece. This is an example of a different point of view of Myers' retaliation, which was not just disrespectful but dumb besides.

The wafer incident was all about respect.

There is a Reason

the Beltway media are often called--at least by yours truly--Beltway whores. Case in point is the queen of the Georgetown cocktail circuit, Sally Quinn, who could be termed a slut because the only reason anybody has ever heard of her is she fucked her boss, Ben Bradlee, and married him.

A real feminist heroine, that woman.

When she tried to strike out on her own away from the Washington Post in the early 1970s, she struck out. CBS, in its infinite stupidity to try and compete with NBC's Today Show and Barbara Walters, hired Quinn to co-host its morning program with the late Hughes Rudd. The result was a disaster, a complete and total disaster. Quinn wrote a book about the experience, We're Going to Make You a Star, which was actually funny and well-written. After the television flop, she went back to the Post, married editor Ben Bradlee, and busied herself with her hostessing skills.

Because she is jealous of the Clintons, she is tickled to death Hillary is all but out of the Democratic contest for president. She gives her worthless two cents' worth what Hillary should do now:

"And I think that what she needs to do now -- and I know this sounds really strange, but -- if I were Hillary Clinton, I would go off to a retreat somewhere. ... A silent retreat. And I would stay there, I would take a sabbatical and stay there for three months, and not talk, and meditate, and think, and try to figure out who I really was and what I really wanted. I'm serious.

"I think that this is a tortured person who has run and run and run and gone for it and gone for it, and it's power, and it's this and it's that, 'I've got to be there.' There's never a moment where you see her relaxing, where you see her really stopping to smell the roses, stopping to say, 'Who am I and what is it that I want?'

"Maybe what she really needs is a wonderful, loving relationship with somebody instead of just going after power and being this ambitious person that I think she thinks she oughta be."

Maybe YOU should get lost, you stupid slut.

Her bitter bile is rooted in the simple fact Hillary Clinton, new to Washington in 1993, refused kiss Quinn's ass:

Actually, it could be said that Sally Quinn has been floundering around for the last couple of decades, when she failed first as a journalist, then as a novelist, before emerging as a hostess in a Washington society that even she admits is in its death throes. Which brings us to a central question: Who appointed Quinn as the mouthpiece for the permanent Washington establishment, if there is such an animal? A peek into Quinn's motives reveals a hidden political agenda and the venom of a hostess scorned, and ultimately, an aging semi-journalist propped up by a cadre of media buddies, carping at the Clintons because they wouldn't kiss her ring.

And:

According to society sources, Sally invited Hillary to a luncheon when the Clintons came to town in 1993. Sally stocked her guest list with her best buddies and prepared to usher the first lady into the capital's social whirl. Apparently, Hillary didn't accept. Miffed, Sally wrote a catty piece in the Post about Mrs. Clinton. Hillary made sure that Quinn rarely made it into the White House dinners or social events.

In return, Sally started talking trash about Hillary to her buddies, and her animus became a staple of the social scene. "There's just something about her that pisses people off," Quinn is quoted as saying in a New Yorker article about Hillary.

The link is now dead, but here is an article mentioning the Salon piece.


Nothing but a stinking, envious failure. But she is loved by the Beltway mob, and, as trivial as it is in the grand scheme of world events, THIS is why the media ganged up on the Clintons, printed lies about them and the bogus "scandals," and cheered on the impeachment of Bill Clinton. THIS, not sexism, is why the media went after Hillary Clinton in her campaign for president. This is also why they went after Al Gore when he ran for president in 2000, since he was Bill Clinton's VP. The media couldn't run Bill Clinton out of town, so "victories" over Al Gore and Hillary Clinton can be seen as payback for the Clintons not kissing Sally Quinn's slutty ass.

This moron gave her worthless two cents' worth here. She can't resist mentioning and trashing the Clintons in talking about Jeremiah Wright. What a sickening hypocrite she is talking about Monica Lewinsky when she fucked her own boss and married him, and now this hypocrite paints herself as some kind of expert on religion:




She's had PILES of cosmetic surgery, for she is at least 67 years old. She's probably gearing up to grab the next sugar daddy who comes along after 87-year-old Ben calls it quits and goes to that newsroom in the sky. It's embarrassing to see a woman so worried about aging. Yeah, I sound like a sexist, but I don't give a shit when it comes to people like her.
