Susan Estrich, USC law professor, member of the L.A. city ethics commission, author, former campaign manager and syndicated columnist. Her column.
Some background at Romenesko's letters page and at the Urban Legends Reference Pages
I find her vaguely appealing.
If anyone wants to do a similar media hoax and you're in L.A. get in touch. It doesn't involve paint ball guns. I've got a fake L.A.-oriented web site that's just sitting there, waiting for a press conference to get us on TV. I've gotten a few serious emails about the site, including one from a local politician's aide, but one of these days I need to take it to the next level.

I never understand how Susie here has gotten so far with so little. You forgot to mention her diet book. SHe ran the worst campaign in modern history, and never fails to get the wrong end of the stick in nearly every column. She makes Ellen Snortland look almost bearable. Of course she fell for Bambi, but it doesn't matter as her point is, as always, men are icky.
