-
Eyeing the tigress competition, Seipp notes the snapshot of Pamela from Atlas Shrugs committing borderline frottage with global communicator Glenn Reynolds, and offers a comment that some would consider catty, others would call a light jest.
Nips Ahoy!: James Wolcott Wolcott, James, 1952- 2009

Fox News: “As Cathy Seipp lay dying, her nemesis took his parting shot on the web.”
-
The rest of the line I criticized from Seipp makes three distinct claims, drawn from Schweizer's book.

Schweizer has tried to reformulate his argument against Franken -- tacitly conceding he was wrong to say Franken has hired only one minority in his career, Schweizer now says Franken didn't hire enough minorities -- and Seipp might be tempted to do the same in defense of her piece.
