Talk about closing the door that was opened for you, Sally Quinn of the Washington Post attacks Governor palin, then pretends that this is “not about politics”, saying she has not been properly vetted and should not run for office with children at home.

Here’s how SALLY got here job:

Newspaper journalism

Quinn began as a reporter for the Washington Post with very little experience: reportedly called by Ben Bradlee after a report of her pajama party in celebration of the election to congress of Barry Goldwater, Jr., the job interview included the following exchange.

“Can you show me something you’ve written?” asked Managing Editor Benjamin Bradlee. “I’ve never written anything,” admitted Quinn. Pause. “Well,” said Bradlee, “nobody’s perfect.” ^{[2] [1]}

However, she soon demonstrated, as a reporter for the Style section, a talent for drawing out the subjects of her interviews and profiles. [3] Henry Kissinger said, “[Post reporter] Maxine Cheshire makes you want to commit murder. Sally Quinn makes you want to commit suicide.” A notable incident of her career was her claim that Zbigniew Brzezinski, then the National Security Adviser, jokingly opened his fly in front of a reporter, a claim that the Post retracted the following day. ^{[4] [2]}

This woman was give a break and becamea Washington insider and social snob, often speaking of things she does notknow in that arrogant, “I amk better than you” way.

Taking Communion

In June 2008, the [5] Catholic League issued a press release highly critical of Quinn for taking [6] communion at the funeral mass for journalist [7] Tim Russert.^{[8] [9]} In an On Faith blog posting on the Washington Post website, Quinn — who is not a [9] Catholic — wrote that she was “determined to take [communion] for Tim, [10] transubstantiation notwithstanding” and that she “had a slightly nauseated sensation” after taking it.^{[11] [10]} Catholic League president [12] Bill Donohue responded that “Quinn’s statement not only reeks of narcissism, it shows a profound disrespect for Catholics and the beliefs they hold dear.” Since the incident, Quinn’s judgment as moderator of On Faith has come under question by media commentators^{[13] [11][14] [12]} including columnist [15] Ramesh Ponnuru, who wrote that “if [Quinn] does not understand the affront she gave then perhaps regularly blogging about religion for a major news outlet is not the right job for her.”^{[16] [13]}
