2 questions about today's SCABROUGH: Sally QUINN, John GIBSON

[UTUSN]

Through the dawn doze, there was Sally QUINN yammering her judgments on the SPITZER deal. Excuse me, but wasn't she BRADLEE's mistress before she thinks she assumed the role of pillar of society? Or was she being featured as an inside insight into the emptiness of (somebody else's) marriage vows?

And they played a COLBERT clip that seemed to be saying John GIBSON was being cancelled at Faux. I WISH, but I've Googled and don't find any such cancellation, although there was a 2006 item predicting it for 2006, which didn't happen. GIBSON is one I've never stomached to monitor, so I was surprised to see his circus listed as "Big Story with GIBSON *and* Somebody-else." Isn't a split billing a demotion? When did that happen? But mostly, was it just a COLBERT bit, not a fact, about the cancellation?

Sally Quinn Gets Hers

by Mac MacArthur

June 18, 2002 -- Washington (APJP) -- Yesterday morning, the always-entertaining Media Whores Online reported the news about the de facto demotion of the Washington Post's resident hypocrite courtesan, Sally Quinn: ....



But the Post should go further. It's about time that Ms. Ride-along-on-your-husband's-rep was booted out of the Washington Post -- and booted out of the Beltway, for that matter.

Of all the repulsive personalities in the District, Quinn -- a graceless, self-appointed grande dame of nothingness -- takes the cake. Her putative reign as a dilettante non-journalist should have been squashed the moment she sat her ass on Ben Bradlee's lap. Quinn deserves nothing but the worst.

In that case, let's hope People magazine interviews her. They should --mostly about her slovenly appearance and bed-head hair, but also about how the snobby Mistress Quinn made a habit of pillorying Hillary and Bill Clinton (and helped drive then-young Chelsea Clinton to a couch) as she strutted her snide stuff at the Post. ....



Come to think of it, she DOES belong in the sports section -- as a pinup girl for washed-up predatory pundettes before they become hateful hags more at home on 14th Street than in Georgetown.

1. "predatory pundettes" sounds slight obscene, but otherwise

I agree with the sentiments expressed.

2. so you think Gibson's Big Story was not cancelled? I don't believe Colbert

would have talked about it if he was not sure... Tucker's cancellation was not official at first either...
