Shorter Sally Quinn

Take a look at this WaPo column by D.C.'s best known homewrecker/Grande Dame and bottom-line it for me in three sentences or less. (Here's Josh Marshall's stab at it.)

Bearing in mind, of course, who Sally Quinn actually is:

Actually, it could be said that Sally Quinn has been floundering around for the last couple of decades, when she failed first as a journalist, then as a novelist, before emerging as a hostess in a Washington society that even she admits is in its death throes. Which brings us to a central question: Who appointed Quinn as the mouthpiece for the permanent Washington establishment, if there is such an animal? A peek into Quinn's motives reveals a hidden political agenda and the venom of a hostess scorned, and ultimately, an aging semi-journalist propped up by a cadre of media buddies, carping at the Clintons because they wouldn't kiss her ring.

From what I've read of her, Michelle Obama doesn't seem like a woman who takes any guff. Maybe if she finds herself living in D.C. one day, she'll pat old lady Quinn on the head and put her out to pasture along with David Broder.
