The Dauphin of the NYT getting to, ahem, know The Queen of All Iraq? Sure sounds like it!
From Editor & Publisher (via FireDogLake), commenting on an upcoming Vanity Fair piece by Seth Mnookin on L'Affaire Miller:
Elsewhere, Mnookin pulls no punches in stating that over the years Miller "had built a reputation for sleeping with her sources," had dated one of Sulzberger's best friends, Steve Ratner, "and had even, for a time, shared a vacation home with Sulzberger," whatever that means.
Wow. Of course, if you're an on-the-make publisher, and you're looking to establish good relations with the party that's either officially in power and/or actually possesses power -- and that party has been, for nearly thirty years, the Republican Party -- it makes political, if not moral, sense to establish, ahem, "good relations" with Judith Miller, a person whose record as GOP zampolit goes back at least two decades, if not longer.
