Sally Quinn Said Money For Bush's 2004 Inauguration Would Be Better Spent on "Tsunami Relief;" But Celebrates Obama's Big Party, and Denies the Money Would be Better Spent Elsewhere

I don't understand how people can live such unexamined lives and never question their plainly-biased beliefs and statements.

Oh, by the way: Part of Quinn's criticism of Bush was that he had no parties and attended no parties previous to the inaugural, but now finds time for a gaudy inaugural ball:

In this administration, the idea of getting together socially with colleagues, political adversaries and even members of the president's own party seems to be regarded, as Attorney General-designate Alberto Gonzales has said of the Geneva Conventions, as "quaint" and "obsolete." Many in Washington's diplomatic and social circles have concluded that President Bush and those around him have no interest in meeting new people, exchanging ideas with those who differ with them, reaching out to the community in which they live, or, through the embassies, to the larger world.

The vapid aging socialite Sally Quinn has written on numerous occasions about her hurt feelings that no one's interested in coming to her stupid dinner parties any longer. She's even knocked Obama (and his people) for not caring about her stupid dinner parties. She resents her loss of social status and the unearned, unmerited social/political power her previous access to power-players of the 70s granted her. And she's so un-self-aware that she has no idea how much of her own petty egotism she's revealing every time she makes the same basic complaint that people ought to come to her dinner parties.
