Nina Totenberg's All-Too-Open House
The interesting anecdotes about NPR's Nina Totenberg, the grande dame of the Supreme Court press corps, continue to fill our inbox. And just as in the case of Peter Barta, it's fascinating to see how little stories can come together, like pieces of a puzzle, to give you a more complete portrait of a person.
Anyway, here's the latest gossip about Ms. Nina, from a former neighbor:
True story. Nina Totenberg used to live [a few] blocks away from me on Capitol Hill.A few years back, she put her house on the market and had an open house. The house was perfectly fine -- nothing particularly grand or tacky.
The one thing that stuck out, however, was that she left her nylons hanging to dry in the bathroom. Classy.
Très, très Britney. Not unlike loudly chewing gum during a Supreme Court argument.

Lat, did you post this thread to bump the law school discussion, which is approaching 400 comments, off the front page? Very clever. But now you're on notice: if you give lawyers an opportunity to list their credentials and spout on about their career paths, you can expect hundreds of responses.

Who gives a shit? Blame the realtor for not checking all the rooms before the open house started, not Nina.

I can't wait for some nut job (L2L?) to start following Lat around and posting private, personal or otherwise embarrassing tidbits about him to a website.

3:58 - If you object to petty gossip about public figures, why are you reading a gossip website?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but her speech at the Georgetown graduation included a line about female lawyers "finding happiness with their erogenous zones" or something along those lines. I think the jesuit priest they were honoring may have felt a bit awkward standing next to Nina as she said this.

I think this whole Totenberg/Greenhouse/Greenburg thing needs to be settled once and for all.
Either we need a Battle Royale or some form of ATL Poll. Come to think of it they aren't that different. (The Battle Royale and the Poll that is, there are some big difference between Toten, Green, & Green... which would also be a good name for a law firm....)
