		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maureen needs to focus her talent, and she is talented…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back in the day she used to be a real columnist.  Something happened to her somewhere along the line and she turned into a harpy with virtually nothing of substance to say.  My vote is that she be put out to pasture.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;His company footed the tab for Birkitt to go to law school, a loan she has now paid back; it says it did the same for some other staffers who wanted to pursue higher education.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I believe it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever his faults, Letterman has always been the best kind of philanthropist. For many years, he kept an Indianapolis lawyer on retainer just to distribute money to various causes, and to keep it quiet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m betting that he still does, though I don’t know who he uses now.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I got nothing so let me pick on Maureen Dowd. Her article &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/07/opinion/07dowd.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;“Men Behaving Badly”&lt;/a&gt; uses tee vee and movies, Jay Leno, “Mad Men”, the “Office”, Hannibal Lecter, Craig Fergusen, to explain her point whatever it is. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess us guys especially Letterman should not be trusted around women, especially in the workplace. But some of us guys understand “Feminism” much better than Maureen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;A few years ago, I wrote that 40 years of feminism had done nothing to alter the fact that older men often see young women in staff support as sirens. For some men, it’s the very inequality of the relationship that’s alluring, the way these women revolve around them and make life easier, the way they treat Himself like the sunrise and sunset of their universe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OK fair enough but equal opportunity for both sexes means men can be nurses and women can be TV execs. It should not be defined, for example, as Carly Fiorina getting the opportunity to be a corporate criminal. Or those attractive babes who peddle Pharmaceutical drugs to doctors. That is not feminism. that is corrupt women. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maureen needs to focus her talent, and she is talented on real villains. For example Maureen bashes a woman, unjustly. She ignores women villains, especially the Corporate criminals and neo-cons, Cokie Roberts,  Fiorina, and the Death Panel woman, McConahey or whatever her name is, Mika Brezinssi, Carly Taitz and so on. Stephanie Birkitt should not be punished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt; Stephanie Birkitt, his former lover and assistant, described herself as his best friend. She was not punished but rewarded with a recurring on-air starring role — despite the fact that she wasn’t funny or charming. As usual, Letterman was living out loud on the show, showing the audience his crush. His company footed the tab for Birkitt to go to law school, a loan she has now paid back; it says it did the same for some other staffers who wanted to pursue higher education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday night, when Letterman joked that he might be the first talk-show host to be impeached, Birkitt’s name was still listed in the show credits. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Me too.  He must have inherited Martinez’s email list.  I’m surprised my name is on it with all the negative missives I sent Martinez.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chain Gang Charlie appointed one of his good ol’ boys to the circuit court.  Dude used to be counsel for the local Rethug Party.  Imagine that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
