Sally Quinn is a dinosaur left over from another epoch, another era; and her perspective on current matters is as irrelevant today as it was 35 years ago when she was the ultimate party girl.

Thanks, Sally, for looking out for the best interests of the GOP and working women and families and Down syndrome kids. Thank you for trying valiantly to protect us from Sarah Palin. We just didn't know she was so ambitious and selfish. Whew, if we dump her now and pick someone like Joe Biden, do you still think we can win this election, Sally?

Thanks, Ben, for making the Washington Post a name we can trust. To print the Democratic talking points as editorials.

Game, Set, and Match to Mr. Lord.

Jeffrey Lord's article has some fascinating history that helps peel back the lid covering the beltway and Manhattan. Existence of the "club" to which Sally Quinn and her husband, Ben Bradlee, belong became more apparent in 1972 after Richard Nixon trounced George McGovern in the presidential election. That's when film critic Pauline Kael lamented "I don't know how Richard Nixon could have won. I don't know anyone who voted for him."

I don't have the adequate vocabulary to even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this column. In all my adult life I have not read anything that so succinctly, truthfully, pointedly and unabashedly defines the national leftist media and its stranglehold on America.

Absolutely beautiful and I will email your article to many, many persons.

Best wishes to you in your endeavors,

The bet here is McCain-Palin will receive a large, and perhaps winning, percentage of the national vote based on nothing more than taking the mainstream media down. Amazingly, blowhards like Sally Quinn, Ben Bradlee and the rest of the in-the-tank-for-Obama media seem unable to fathom this "two-fer" reality.

Here's hoping they continue their baseless attacks on Sarah Palin. All they will do is make many Americans even more determined to support her.

It's what Americans do instinctively when they see a decent woman getting hammered -- for nothing more than being decent.

Great article. Thank you.

Awesome article! Policing the media... I love it! And a history lesson to boot. I had never heard of Mary Meyer. Why isn't there a movie about her? Story sounded fascinating.

Well done!

Excellent article by Mr. Lord. Unfortunately it will only be seen by those of us who care enough to see behind the mask of the elites. It won't be seen or ever referred to by the taking heads of TV. Even Bill O'Reilly went weak kneed when she graced his program to "apologize" for her treatment of Ms. Palin.
