Why is Sally Quinn considered so powerful by our media people?
About the only thing that I can recall she has done in her life is sleep her way to the top.Yet there she is pontificating about what a slut Monica was and what a sleaze bag Clinton was and so on and so forth.The media people fall all over themselves to be invited to her parties and she gushes about eating pasta with the Cheneys.

Is this the kind of independent Press that we need?

5. Sure
She's married to Ben Bradlee.

She hosts these "oh-so" parties.

Been a while since I lived in DC though, so I'm sure it's passe.

4. I have it on good authority from two sources in the WaPo newsroom...
... that Quinn is universally detested by the staff, who mock her prima-donna persona, lack of journalistic talent, and her schmoozing with and kowtowing to a coterie of biddies and socialite leeches who consider DC "their" city.
