I am tempted to get petty and vulgur about merging the last two letters of Sally QUINN. But the result is effete and obscure, so I will resist.

Nobody puts Sally Quinn in the corner. Nobody.

Honestly, do you think Quinn heard about Rogers leaving and immediately had her first orgasm since the Ford administration?

Until very, very recently, I was completely unaware of the existence of Sally Quinn. Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss.

Sally Quinn, the first thing that comes to my mind is…..what a dick.

Why should I give a shit about Desiree Rogers resigning? A fucking Social Secretary? Now THERE’s an important position.

Don’t tell me; she must be African American. Her and Van Jones departing after governing while Black is too much for some folks.

How does Quinn have time to Twitter in between forcing hookers to take blood tests?

I’ve said it before, but seriously, if I was Obama, I’d just say “fuck this, I quit”.

Does anyone know who the fuck was the social secretary for any other presidents? Does anyone care?

The lame press spent way too much time in today’s presser asking Gibbsy about Obama’s smoking, and Drudge is trying to imply he’s a drunk.

I hope that every single one of these sorry excuse for a journalist (I’m looking at you Tapper, Chip, Chuckie T, Major) get fired fired fired.

David Shuster should do all the news, on every channel and in every paper, with maybe some help from Jonathon Alter, who I like, because he’s the only one that has any fucking sense.

Sorry for the f words, but I’m reached my bullshit threshold for the day.

FTW. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be absent while my laptop dries off. I should know better. Do not read B-J while drinking diet coke. I made it past T-Bogg @3 and thought I was safe.

What’s the acceptable euphemism for “cunt”?

Because I really want to call Sally Quinn a cunt; she is, in fact, one of the cuntiest cunts whoever cunted a cuntacious cunt.

Even supercunts, who rule the Cuntiskistan and cunt cuntly all over the cunting world, take a cunted look at cunty Sally and say “Now THAT’s a CUNT!!”

But I realize that term is sexist.

So what can I call Sally Quinn that has the same opprobrium and disgust as “cunt”?

My reply, via Twitter:

Ms. Quinn, you are as obsessed with who’s in and who’s out as a particularly vapid middle schooler. Please grow up.

She’s just mad that she doesn’t look as good as Desiree.

Sally, black don’t crack—you do.

Two things:

– To be honest, it would have been disappointing if Quinn had not said anything
– I like the labyrinthian background of her twitter page, an allusion to the Village?

How about calling her a giant inflatable beaver full of hot air?

Th giant inflatable beavers amused me; Sally Quinn does not.

And to think that, once upon a time, I had some respect for Ben Bradlee.

Sally Quinn isn’t fit to be Desiree Rogers’ cleaning girl. If she were to come here to Chicago, she might learn some manners for once in her pathetic life.

@Prattlehorn:

I think AhabTRuler is right—why not go the Santorum route (so to speak) and re-brand the c-word as a “Quinn”?

I dunno about you, but I had to slap that woman back a bit. Any broad who made due to the ease that a rich man had getting her into the sack needs to kept in check for crap like that.

And, oddly, this is the second place I’ve heard the meme that Obama is a drunk. In the HuffPo comments of all places, some twatensquatch was trying to tie his health problems to binge drinking. For the dude who was toasting at the governer’s ball with water. jackasses all of them.

@Alex S.:

I will always remember watching Charlie Rose in 1998 (or thereabouts) in which Quinn and Bob Woodward explained that the Clinton’s big mistake was failing to accept dinner invitations from Sally Quinn. I remember being completely floored at this complaint. The Clintons were certainly not faultless, but to complain that they didn’t hang out with them was so high school. I couldn’t believe it. They were completely oblivious as to how petty that made them look.

Although not a huge Clinton fan, I remember yelling at the TV, “Why the fuck do they need to hang out with you losers. They went to fucking Yale Law School. They have a whole rolodex full of interesting people to have dinner. Why would they waste perfectly good Saturday night hanging out with you worthless turds.” It was years later that I learned that Quinn raised the same complaint about Carter and now, as we know, she has said as much about the Obamas.

Comrade Mary - March 1, 2010 | 8:17 pm · Link

Oddly enough, Ed Whelan at the NRO gives that “moderate drinking” statement the proper context.

The Drudge Report is currently highlighting the last sentence of a Guardian article that asserts that President Obama’s doctors “recommended ‘moderation of alcohol intake’” — an assertion that would lead the reader to believe that his doctors regard his drinking as excessive. But the actual recommendation from the released medical report is quite different:

Continue smoking cessation efforts, a daily exercise program, healthy diet, moderation in alcohol intake, periodic dental care, and remain up-to-date with recommended immunizations.

In other words, Obama’s doctors are recommending that he continue his moderate drinking.

@Kris:

Desiree is also a PhD. She could probably kick Quinn’s ass in most conversations.

Silver - March 1, 2010 | 8:37 pm · Link

Of course Sally Quinn wanted the social secretary fired. Did you know there’s been at least 2 niggers (not the cleaning/serving kind) at most White House events since the end of January 09? The horror…

ruemara - March 1, 2010 | 8:54 pm · Link

I wonder how long until she leaves the twitters or at least makes it all private. It’s not like people will resist the urge to convey to ms. quim how worthless she really is.

The sniping back at her is kind of satisfying, though.

@Citizen Alan:

How is it possible that a home-wrecking tramp could ever rise to such a level of social importance?!?

Ego. Here’s a bit from a 2005 interview.

I understand that the president needs eight or nine hours of sleep, I do, too. I want him to be well-rested but that doesn’t mean that he can’t stop by a reception and then go home. They say it is unseemly to be partying when we’re at war and I’m not saying the president should be out partying, but it is important for him to get other perspectives and for people to get to know his.

Appropriately enough, tonight and over the next few weeks, some PBS stations are featuring an American Experience documentary on Dolley Madison, who set the standard for the White House social scene.

The Village often gets compared to the courtiers from Dangerous Liaisons….

Or even better, the French film, Ridicule.

Ridicule is a 1996 French film set in the 18th century at the decadent court of Versailles, where social status can rise and fall based on one’s ability to mete out witty insults and avoid ridicule oneself. The story critiques the social injustices of late 18th century France, in showing the corruption and callousness of the aristocrats.
