Could Sally Quinn be any more painful?

This woman is unbearable. Sally Quinn is the self-anointed authority on D.C. society, such as it is. She's really just famous for being Sally Quinn. Her tripe is regularly printed in the Washington Post. Earlier this week I saw her on one of the news shows talking about the important issue of the day: Where the Obama girls were going to school.

Today, Quinn takes her painfulness to a new level of absurdity in an Post op-ed:

Along with the speculation on what kind of puppy Sasha and Malia will choose, where the kids will go to school (it's Sidwell Friends), and, oh yes, who will be appointed to the White House staff and the Cabinet, the matter of where the Obamas will choose to worship is drawing a lot of interest in Washington and elsewhere.

Really? Maybe in Sally Quinn's weird little world, it matters. But no one else cares. I know a lot of people in D.C. and no one has ever mentioned Obama's choice of church. Clearly, I don't know the "right" people. Because people I know are worried about mundane issues like the economy, the war, global warming...

Quinn's op-ed gets worse. Yes, she has the audacity to make a recommendation of a church for the Obama family. She is insufferable.

The Washington Post compounded the problem by printing Quinn's pablum. It's pathetic. But, this guarantees Quinn another round of t.v. appearances to talk about this most important issue.

D.C.'s reputation is bad enough. Sally Quinn, with an assist from the Washington Post, just makes it worse.
