Sally Quinn imagines herself the doyenne of D.C. Society (kinda like being queen of the Villagers), such as it is. Today, for Mothers Day, Quinn wrote an "essay" for the Post about Michelle Obama's arms. Not kidding. It's a creepy column and such a painful read. But, it's painfully obvious that Quinn's primary reason for writing the "essay" was so she could include this paragraph:
Recently, Teresa Heinz Kerry had a very small ladies' lunch for Michelle Obama and her mother. The first lady was open, friendly, funny, accessible and totally authentic. She talked easily and answered personal questions without hesitation, even joked about all of the commotion about her arms. She was the first first lady I have ever met who did not seem at all wary. She had such a sense of confidence that you were going to like her, and especially that she was going to like you, that it was disarming (if you'll pardon the pun). Her mother was equally friendly, open, cozy and dear, the grandmother to die for. They left in time for Mrs. Robinson to pick up the girls at school.Note that it was a "very small" lunch. And who actually uses the term "ladies' lunch." How 1950s. But, guess who was there? Essayist Sally Quinn. And, the Washington Post gave her a column so she could let us know just how plugged in she is. How pathetic and embarrassing.
