The floosie could write

Have discovered a new way to get myself riled + righteous in the morning. Read idiot's reviews of Martha Gellhorn biography (akin to discussing Shutterbabe with certain males).

A reviewer of Gellhorn's bio, two stars, titled:
Martha Gellhorn's life isn't worth reading:
Why did anyone choose to do her biography? only real accomplishment of her life was marrying EH. Sooooo, self obsessed, war-loving, name dropping, floosie.
I've read a lot about this era and these folks--I've never heard of Martha Gellhorn and after reading this tedious, fawning, hero-worshipping (god, it's worse than watching Larry King), now I know why. This was not a women of substance. She was a dillitante and a hanger-on with good legs.


(EH = Ernest Hemingway)

Here's to the war-obsessed, floosie of letters.
