| Description | Pundit / USC Law professor Susan Estrich (who is notorious for putting Mike Dukakis in that tank) is circulating an email to, it seems, every female journalist in Southern California to rally support for her cause to get more womens' voices on the LA Times editorial page. Am excerpt, with a few of the typos removed for readability (full text after the jump):
Michael [Kinsley] is an old friend of mine from law school, and I have tried and tried to bring this issue to his attention; to suggest women (such as Arianna Huffington, with whom I often disagree, but who writes a first rate column twice a week, which the La Times doesn't carry, nor do they carry my own column, also twice a week, by the way... There are more wonderful women writers in LA than anywhere in the country; none of them are asked to write for the opinion section; Ms Magazine is based here, Elaine Lafferty finds phenomenol writers, neither she nor them is in the Times. Instead of calling Elaine for ideas, the new editors called the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, who recommended Max Boot... Max Boot?? The old boys network at work... and the paper, far from improving, keeps getting worse. A few weeks ago, I pointed out to Michael that they went looking for people to ask about their opinions on the war in Iraq: and found THIRTEEN MEN AND NO WOMEN.
