#11  "how appropriate to the entire tenor of the Washington Post that they encourage their fashion columnist to think on subjects beyond her ability to comprehend"

I don't think that applies to just their fashion "reporter," TW. ;-p

#10  "Alito has been described as a nerd. (He took up juggling, after all.)"
She doesn't even comprehend nerds, tw. I've never juggled.

#9  That was the most concentratedly unnecessary rudeness I've read in quite some time. Nipon instead of St. John? Mrs. Alito doesn't have the figure St. John designs for; wearing it would make her look like she was playing dress-up. And unlike the people the writer frequents, the wife of a Supreme Court Justice needn't try to impress anyone, and by rights dresses to please only herself and her husband (or vice versa, for Mr. Sandra Day O'Connor). What an embarrassment, and how appropriate to the entire tenor of the Washington Post that they encourage their fashion columnist to think on subjects beyond her ability to comprehend.

#8  Okay, to all: PLEASE let's not get into a long thread of personal insults, or of trying to get in the last word.

No matter how obnoxious the other guys (or I) seem to be ....

I redacted the comments here because Frank brought that other thread over here to continue the incipient fight. It didn't add anything to this thread and it was intended as another neener, neener only this time at me rather than directly at Aris.

#6  lotp, I am redacting those comments, "the best of the best of the best...with honors..."

That is obvious. But why sp[ecifically? (beside the standard disclaimer). Inquiring minds want to know.

Also, some degree of good manners won't hurt, as would be reflected for instance in: "Frank, knock it of, please!"

;-)

#2  Amazing - a completely irrelevant "reporter" digs to make herself even more irrelevant.

How do they do it?

#1  Possibly the second-most pathetic effort by Robin Givhan to be relevant to real nat'l events...Disgusting that the MSM let it go
