Sally Quinn has no regrets
Sally Quinn's column got the axe over her idiotic column, but she has no regrets.
Sally Quinn, whose first novel was titled “Regrets Only,” doesn’t have any second thoughts about writing of her “dysfunctional family” drama in The Washington Post last week.
“I have absolutely no regrets at all,” Quinn told POLITICO.
While Quinn isn’t sorry about writing it, others — from family members to online critics to the paper’s top editor — are.
Quinn said Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli told her that if he’d seen it first, he wouldn’t have run the column explaining the “dueling weddings” of her son and stepson’s daughter and squabbles among family members. And now Brauchli has decided “The Party” — her irregularly appearing print column launched in November — is over.
But Quinn says she’s glad, because it was never intended to be a permanent column but, rather, to focus on holiday entertaining and “generosity of spirit” — the sort of spiritually inspired get-together that would also work in “On Faith,” the WashingtonPost.com site she co-moderates with Newsweek Editor Jon Meacham.
OK, sure. I'm sure nobody will miss it.
who gives a shit about this insignifi**** woman? She's gone, just like the morning turd I flushed this morning.
Maybe I should send a column to the Washington Post
But first decide whether it should be doric or corinthian
And I bet the postage would be a bitch.

Go with the Corinthian, YS - they never go out of style!
Send it to the post with the freight charges collect.

Since I have never heard of her except in some posts on C&L about her, I doubt I'll ever think of her again.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Au contraire, I suspect one or two parakeets, or mynah birds in particular, are going to miss the updates on the WA DC social scene, as dictated by Ms. Quinn.
I hope this doesn't diminish her social status. Those cocktail parties just won't be the same...

Because of her age and marital status, Ms. Quinn will not be able to find as many editors willing to give her the opportunity to inflict her journalism upon us again as she did when when encountered Mr. Bradlee early in her career.
Update: My twitter is abuzz with boomers outraged that I left "ageist"
out of my comment heading when I clearly included age discrimination in the text. I apologize if I prematurely spoiled any Depends.

like booking competing family weddings on the same day?
Her brood is just the Beverly Hillbillies
To the palin's L'il Abner.
She'd have to do some social climbing
Just to reach the status of the Spucklers.

THAT is the type of column that gets one booted from the WashPost ed board? but the constant stream of neocon/neolib/corporatist schlong sucking gets a pass...
The constant stream of neocon/neolib/corporatist schlong sucking doesn't get one a pass, it gets that "journalist" a raise!
ya can't have a social page goin off topic.
to recognize the role of protocol being strictly adhered to. The fate of nations can be altered due to improper protocol of things like wedding schedules. Just ask someone who has been enforcing this; like Sally Quinn.

Oh wait, let me check the actual logs instead of the GOP's executive summary . .
She writes columns like a drunken, spoiled, under-achieving flyboy? Glad I don't read her drivel.
If I had a brain I'd be dangerous.
Good bye and good riddance to a pus filled boil on our political commentary.

She'll just land a gig at NRO- joining such luminaries of journalism as Katherine Jean Lopez and Jonah Goldberg.

Is an ugly SOB with a smile like Mr. Ed.
First time I've seen a pic of him - I jumped in my chair a little.
about dueling weddings but constantly runs columns by non scientists, lying about climate change. Plus, this idiot gets chastised for writing about family drama but Washington Post stands behind her when she said that Obama would fail because he didn't show proper obeisance to the Villagers. Yeah, well pardon me if I don't take his new found "ethics" to heart and start reading WaPo again...
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
no ethics, no morals, and no conscious.
I agree with the person who said Sally is a hillbilly. That SHE is the social maven of DC is hysterical -- she might as well live in rural Mississippi.
And ANY parent who doesn't go to his/her child's wedding is SCUM. End of story. Oh, I know it's different, being that Sally is so high-class. hahahahahaha
Sally, honey -- retire to Mississippi. You will be welcome there. You aren't around civilized people.
