Of course not. But the fact that he served in the military, with distinction, does not mean he's qualified to be president. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080627/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396514 uc/20080627/op_396514 Susan Estrich Fri, 27 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - I don't usually get involved in the squabbles between paparazzi and their prey, not only because I don't want to get hit by either of them, but also because I generally take the position that those who take pictures for money and those they take pictures of are locked in some symbiotic relationship that is beyond me. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080625/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396490 uc/20080625/op_396490 Susan Estrich Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - Here's a nice news flash: Most people really are religious and tolerant, faithful and open, altogether American. That's the conclusion this week of a major Pew Research Center study of religion in America. They call it "non-dogmatic." In what feels like an increasingly dogmatic world, it is ultimately our greatest strength. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080620/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396446 uc/20080620/op_396446 Susan Estrich Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - "Cindy Unleashed" screamed the headline on the Drudge Report. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080618/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396424 uc/20080618/op_396424 Susan Estrich Wed, 18 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - In the outpouring of tributes and anecdotes about the passing of Tim Russert, one item caught my eye. It was a note that recalled that this was the second tragedy in a matter of months for the Russert family: It was less than three months ago that Tim's sister Betty lost her husband, William Buckenroth; he was 61. Meanwhile, their father, Tim Russert senior or "Big Russ," continues to live in Buffalo. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080613/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396386 uc/20080613/op_396386 Susan Estrich Fri, 13 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - Funny? http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080611/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396347 uc/20080611/op_396347 Susan Estrich Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - Everyone knows what the "right" answer is to the question of whether you would be willing to vote for an African-American for president. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/susanestrich/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/uc/20080606/cm_uc_crsesx/op_396315 uc/20080606/op_396315 Susan Estrich Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT Susan Estrich - "Today is a great day not only for every lesbian and gay couple who wants to get married, but for every Californian who believes in fairness and equal opportunity for all," said Judy Appel, executive director of Our Family Coalition, a group that advocates for same-sex couples with children, in response to the California Supreme Court majority's refusal to delay its ruling on gay marriage.
