Former Washington Post Doyenne, Now Owner of Amateur Webzine Slate, Sally Quinn Confesses to Being Diligent Occultist, and Having Placed Three Hexes on People That Killed Them

Me? I wouldn't brag about this.

I guess democracy dies in dementia.

The first, cast in 1969, was spurred by old-fashioned jealousy. Some exotic beauty at a Halloween party inspired lust in Quinn’s beau at the time—and then killed herself just days after Sally cast her spell.

Her second victim was Clay Felker, the longtime editor of New York magazine who oversaw a brutal profile of Quinn in 1973, just before her catastrophic debut on the CBS Morning News. Quinn hexed Felker not long after flaming out at CBS and returning to Washington. “Some time afterward, Rupert Murdoch bought New York magazine in a hostile takeover, and Felker was out,” she writes. “Clay never recovered professionally. Worse, he got cancer, which ultimately caused his death.”

Target number three: a shady psychic who, the autumn after Quinn Bradlee was born, ran afoul of Sally’s maternal instincts. The woman dropped dead before year’s end.

What a charming crone.

And speaking of haggard old brokedown crones spitting out impotent Gypsie curses -- Keith Olbermann.
