There is an editorial in the Wapo by Sally Quinn, who is clearly in a neck and neck contest with Cokie Roberts for the title of Ms Insufferable. Honestly, I can't decide who is more annoying, but currently Sally Quinn is in the lead, most likely because I just read her editorial. However, it is possible when I hear Cokie's dulcet tones emanating from my radio, I might change my mind. Sally is pontificating about which church the Obama's should attend. Her choice is the National Cathedral for reasons I won't go into. And even though I am sure it is a swell church, because I am petty and childish, I hope they go elsewhere. But then again maybe the poisonous Quinn will then turn on them and write horrible untrue things about them, like she did with the Clintons. I don't remember the exact quote, but during the impeachment hearings, she wrote that Ken "The Pornographer" Starr was much more her kind of people because his children went to the right schools and his wife knew other DC power wives. Enough said.

Ahhh Google is a wonderful thing. Out of curiosity I googled Quinn + Starr and found this article written in '98 about Bill Clinton. Read it if you have a strong stomach. The outrage! The disappointment! The scandal! Even at the time it was pretty unbelievable reading, but now after enduring eight years of the Bush Criminal Cartel, it is even more startling. OK the guy lied about sex, but he didn't lie about going to WAR!!! for god's sake. Some of the same ghastly names - Lieberman, Andrea Mitchell, Doris Kearns Goodwin, and even Cokie is quoted. It would be a quaint period piece, in the realm of wasn't that interesting that the Beltway crowd was so obsessed, but given what the Bush administration has done to the country, you wonder where was the outrage about the ruination of America at home and abroad.
