I think they're both in the same pocket. Lucky for whoever is wearing those pants the Sulzbergers turned out to be as shortsighted and ignorant as the Grahams at the Washington Post.

You know, when she was briefly dating Michael Douglas, she reportedly said that Howell Raines (her personal who do I have to fuck, or at least the one who put her on the Op Ed page, as rumor would have it) forced her to write all that mean stuff. I never really bought it. She has a theory (seriously, she wrote a book about it) that she's not married because men of the caliber she deserves are scared of her awesomeness. Actual awesome women married to powerful men bring out her Heather side.

She made a rhetorical play for him - after all, he was running against Hillary - but he slapped her back because he can't stand her. This, according to the equally vile David Axelrod, who predictably considers her a good friend.

"... The Trump Organization is this mom-and-pop boutique. It’s got less than 100 people, I think, working for it, and he’s about to take the reins of a portion of the federal government that employs over 2 million people, is global, touches on every key policy in American life, and in our overseas profile and he knows very little about most of all of that and papering that over with any kind of publicity or the good publicity, is in a strategy that’s a Hail Mary. And I think he’s going to be in for a rude awakening if that’s how he’s going to approach things, what his day-to-day life might become. ..."

On the right ... Eliot Cohenhttp://www.the-american-int...Admittedly, we fled town for the Inauguration. ... the prospect of it filled me with disgust. I wanted to be far away from the pleasant city that is our national capital. Donald J. Trump has repeatedly revealed himself as a lying, crooked, narcissistic ignoramus, incapable of generous thoughts or deeds, indeed, incapable of seeing beyond himself at all. The idea of that man living in Lincoln’s house is nauseating. ...
