sullivan going way off teh boards: Protecting Kagan's Privacy 10 May 2010 04:15 pm The NYT does its bit: She was a creature of Manhattan’s liberal, intellectual Upper West Side — a smart, witty girl who was bold enough at 13 to challenge her family’s rabbi over her bat mitzvah, cocky (or perhaps prescient) enough at 17 to pose for her high school yearbook in a judge’s robe with a gavel and a quotation from Felix Frankfurter, the Supreme Court justice. She was the razor-sharp newspaper editor and history major at Princeton who examined American socialism, and the Supreme Court clerk for a legal giant, Thurgood Marshall, who nicknamed her “Shorty.” She was the reformed teenage smoker who confessed to the occasional cigar as she fought Big Tobacco for the Clinton administration, and the literature lover who reread Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” every year. And she loves opera. Is there nothing the press won't reveal about her? Oh, yes, I forgot ... the question that we are not allowed to ask, a question that, if true, would have helped shape her worldview as profoundly as, say, her penchant for the occasional cigar. But this is not just not "fit to print." It is not "fit to ask." ------------------ I gather this is perhaps going to become an 'issue' re Kagan? 1st: Sullivan is a white man of quite a fair amount of privlage. dude has never had to be the first white in a job. never the first man in a job. kagan became the first woman head of her thing at Harvard. the first woman solicitor general of our country. Is Andrew, da gay, serously unaware that women who are still becoming the first at things do not often to do it without, for all of us even if they really only doing it for themselves, sacrificing things like hearth and home? and then... especially if they are not svelte and milf material and don't squire about with a dude, are called lesbian outloud or in whispers? that is the world of women in power. period. Andrew is a jackass at times. does he have photos? video? does he really care if she is a lesbian? the only woman I've ever heard him talk well about is Margaret Thatcher, so... just sayin'. pathetic.
