Sally Quinn, The Washington Post journalist and Editor in Chief of On Faith, let NowThis News into her DC crib to show us everything we wish we could have in our own homes. A pool, a tennis court and a lot of Warhols are just a few of the awesome features in the house that Abraham Lincoln’s son once owned.

Journalist? OMG grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

1. Hey, she 'mixed it myself'... n/t

2. That's what she said the painter told her. That it was called that, and that he mixed it himself.

sort of proving the OP's point to be sure.

3. The house that insider DC establishment journalism built...

Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee... rewarded well for a lifetime of stenography for the 1%.

It's no wonder the establishment press always seems to back the wrong team in on class issues like "free trade" deals and "entitlement reform".

I don't see how people who live like this can manage a news organization that is not biased toward the interests of the wealthy.

5. The home's previous owner, Vicki Bagley, despised Sally Quinn so much that she

doubled the price when she learned that Quinn was obsessed with buying that particular house. Quinn had previously written an unflattering piece about Bagley, implying that she was a tacky social climber, and Bagley countered by saying (and remember this was before Quinn took up with her married boss, Ben Bradlee): "“She called us all social climbers. Well, a bigger social climber will have never been…. Sally was the very person she was writing about…. We were all doing things. We were all working. Sally wanted what we had, and she wanted to destroy us because we had it.”

..." The seller was her former subject Vicki Bagley, who had had the house appraised at $1.2 million. She initially refused to consider any offer from Sally Quinn. After hearing from a mutual friend that Sally was frantic about it, she allowed Bradlee to come look—alone—and take pictures … and she jacked up the price to $2.5 million, about $5.4 million in today's dollars. “You're not really serious about that $2.5 million,” he asked Bagley on his visit. Bagley replied, “Ben, I have never been as serious as I am right now. Sally will never live in this house unless you pay a premium.” Bradlee paid the full amount—in 1983, one of the highest sums ever paid for a piece of real estate in Washington at the time."....
