TL; DR: Birds, cats, plants, politics. Seattleite sick of Seattle process. I flit between topics like a hummingbird, but hyper-focus like a corvid. Photography, gardening, podcasts. Mom of a tween, eng partner, keeper of two cats, a dog, fish. Obv ADHD.
Agreed, even if the "RFK Jr." analog were a woman. This actually isn't at all sex/gender dependent.

Oh, I totally misunderstood that and didn't look it up on my own. Rookie mistake. This makes so much more sense; if he's independent then yeah, he's going to go for it!

I lived in Des Moines from 5th-12th grades ('90s-early '00s) and still have family there. Highline CC was known for doing a lot to make student life pleasant. It's cool seeing them continue to improve for students.

Which it was, in 2008's D.C. v. Heller case. I'm definitely not hopeful on this one, but the fact that it's regarding a constitutional amendment doesn't mean it can't be challenged. (Yes, the 14th amendment seems to be clear. But of course the admin is going to fight that.)

Oh, and I said this elsewhere in the thread, but I wouldn't be surprised if Lizza is also out after this, unless he can show Politico that he genuinely happened upon his source material ethically. But I think that will take more time to shake out.

In general, agree.
In this case... VF hiring her was a big boon for Nuzzi. A lot of people were surprised because her ethics breach was significant. VF was betting on her redemption, but she sunk that herself with the weird book and the interview with Tim Miller in which she showed no true growth.

Of course it's a business decision. It's bad business to continue employing someone like that as an editor after she's gone out of her way to remind the world of her poor ethics and double down on expressing regret for anything beyond the direct consequences she experienced.

Yep. "A lawyer for Nuzzi ... denied ... Lizza’s claim that she slept with Sanford while covering his failed GOP presidential bid in 2019." The response is very precise, and I don't think it's a coincidence that her attorney made the statement. Guess she's been forced back in hiding.

But... Doesn't that cause confusion with the pop star? I'd recommend clarifying; maybe call him *The* Sabrina Carpenter?

Yes. Essentially, for "efficiency"? Love that the FIFI team apparently didn't tell Parking Enforcement until it was already happening westseattleblog.com/2025/09/park...
Parking complaint? Starting today, don't use Find It Fix It
(WSB file photo)
Earlier this week, a WSB reader reported getting a message on Find It Fix It saying that the app can no longer be used for reporting parking complaints - those have to be called in. ...

You realize that Nuzzi directly contributed to Trump's election by catching and killing negative stories on RFK Jr., not reporting on things like his drug use, and advising him on his campaign and then his decision to endorse Trump? She's part of this "war on women," not a feminist victim.

*This* is a fair comparison. As much as whey he's shared has illuminated her shittiness, it's reflected right back on him. His ethics are also absolutely questionable as well. I'll be surprised if he remains employed at Politico, but it may take a bit more time for them to get their ducks in a row.

This is exactly it. If they were both employed by either Vanity Fair or the Trump administration, this would be a valid argument. If Nuzzi did work for the admin and Kennedy for VF, I think the outcome from each side would be the same. She'd face no consequences, he'd be out.

The level of self-centeredness to not see that losing your job is the mildest consequence of her decisions...

And this is why it's so frustrating to see misguided "feminists" rush to Nuzzi's defense, calling the critical backlash "misogyny." The misogyny was against the other talented women journalists who tried to build their careers on merit. The misogyny benefited Nuzzi for *years*.

"I think I wrote about that in my book" in a rude tone, after Tim asks her to elaborate on something she said *in her book.* Yeah, he's asking for more, Nutsy.

Nuzzi is counting on our recent cultural turnabout on scorned women, but she isn't a victim here, she's an active agent in this whole story. Don't let her manipulate you into believing otherwise.

He was incredibly kind. They're friends. That's why her evasive and defensive answers were even more frustrating.
