I read this column by Sally Quinn in utter disbelief. This old, irrelevant, deluded fool thinks that she and the other Georgetown socialites hold the key to helping create a successful presidential administration. The arrogance and insularity are pretty remarkable even by Village standards.
What's amazing to me is that Sally Quinn's main claim to fame and her road to professional advancement was that she fucked Ben Bradlee while he was married to someone else. (In a wonderful twist, she writes the Post's "On Faith" blog.) You would think someone with that on her resume would be a bit more circumspect, but she was a particularly vicious critic of the Clintons.
Ah well, as Winston Churchill should have said, some are born to greatness, others have it thrust into them.*
*Line actually stolen from a National Lampoon piece about Margaret Trudeau from many years ago and then mingled in my mind with the equally wonderful "Wit and Wisdom of Winston Churchill" by Michael O'Donoghue -- representative line -- "eat it raw, fuzznuts!"
