Elizabeth Edwards' Harshest Critics: Are They Sorry Now?
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyOn the day Elizabeth Edwards died, Time magazine's Mark Halperin eulogized her on "Hardball with Chris Matthews" as "one of the most public and valiant cancer survivors" he had ever known, an advocate who had used her spotlight to champion issues dear to her, including health care and gay rights. Movingly, Halperin described Edwards as an "incredible testament" to strength and courage and a mother who had worked to keep her family's life as normal as possible during the last days of her illness. In fact, unless you were one of the millions who read "Game Change," the '08 presidential campaign ...
Christopher Hitchens to Undergo Chemotherapy for Esophageal Cancer
By David Knowles - AOL NewsAuthor, commentator and Vanity Fair columnist Christopher Hitchens announced Wednesday that he will soon undergo treatment for cancer. In a post on Vanity Fair's website, Hitchens wrote the following: I have been advised by my physician that I must undergo a course of chemotherapy on my esophagus. This advice seems persuasive to me. I regret having had to cancel so many engagements at such short notice. Hitchens, 61, was touring the country to promote his new book, "Hitch-22: A Memoir." Known for his hard living and quick wit, Hitchens largely gave up smoking in 2008, The Washington Post ...
Washington Post Kills Sally Quinn's Column in Print Edition
By Annie Groer - Politics Daily"The Party" is over. The weekly Washington Post column on gracious entertaining that Sally Quinn wrote from late November until Feb. 19 has been axed from the paper's Style section.

Ben Bradlee: A Legend After 'All the President's Men'
By Donna Trussell - Politics Daily"Nothing's riding on this except the, uh, First Amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press, and maybe the future of the country." That sentence was uttered by actor Jason Robards playing Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee in what is arguably the best performance of his career in "All the President's Men," one of the 100 greatest films of all time, according to the American Film Institute. Oh, the glory days of newspapers! What with Quinn Bradlee, son of Bradlee and columnist Sally Quinn, in the news (as reported by my Politics Daily colleague Annie Groer here and here) and last ...
Will Sally Quinn Uncouple Those Dueling Weddings?
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyIs Sally Quinn about to blink? Will she relent and reschedule her son's April 10 Washington wedding -- only recently shifted from October when it was learned his fiancee is pregnant -- so it no longer conflicts with the long-planned Napa Valley nuptials of husband Ben Bradlee's firstborn grandchild? Smart money says she will. Or should. On Friday, Feb. 26. In The Washington Post. In "The Party," a weekly column Sally Quinn has written since Thanksgiving as a way to reclaim a coveted perch in the Style Section. Her essays tell us how to behave in polite society, and often feature prominent ...
The Parable of the Trophy Wife
By Bonnie Goldstein - Politics DailyThis is a true story. Once upon a time, in the last century, there was a great, nearly stately institution that served the public nobly, at times even heroically. Though not as glamorous as Hollywood or royal as Versailles, the city in which the institution did business possessed elements of each. In a time akin to Camelot, when these near movie stars mingled with presidents, one particularly handsome and charming figure captured hearts and minds with his dash and verve. He was a man's man, of course, and the women he serially married were beautiful and clever. His oldest son and heir to ...
