Judith Miller's husband supports his wife by going on a crusie...
...and I couldn't be more amused...hope he's being "comforted" in her absence...

http://nydailynews.com/front/story/331819p-283554c.html

Famed editor Jason Epstein, husband of jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller, has lately been making himself scarce at the federal facility in Virginia where his wife has been incarcerated for the past three weeks.

Miller has been married to Epstein - who was the longtime editorial director at Random House and a founder of the New York Review of Books - since 1993. She chose contempt of court and imprisonment over revealing her sources to the independent counsel in the CIA-Karl Rove-Robert Novak leak brouhaha.

(However...)

In a frothy social column yesterday about a celeb-glutted Mediterranean cruise, featuring everyone from Isabella Rossellini to J.K. Rowling aboard the ocean liner Silver Shadow, the New York Sun's A.L. Gordon revealed:

"One passenger with his mind soberly on home is the literary icon Jason Epstein. ... Ms. Miller would have been on the cruise had she not gone to jail."

His wife's in the slammer and he cruises the Med?

"We all serve our time in our own way," quipped Miller's attorney Robert Bennett.

1. "Miller's attorney Robert Bennett"?
Wasn't he Clinton's attorney? Didn't do such a great job for his client IMO.

2. Judy's my hero, now
But for the record, Bennett told me that Epstein "was very reluctant to go, but Judy wanted him to go very much. She insisted he go, because there was nothing he could do for her during that period of time."


He may be on a luxury cruise, but at least she still has her principles. Bon voyage, Jason. :evilgrin:

3. HAHAHAHAHA excuse me if I find this report hilarious
Judy, Judy, Judy - trying to make a name for herself as a martyr, and no one missing her back home!

That is what you get for being an all-too-willing tool of the RW.
I remember how your eyes got all shiny when you breathlessly "reported" all the reasons we had to invade Iraq - even the ones you completely made up!

Shrub is off on vaca down at the Pig Ranch and your hubby is cruising the ocean blue. But, I'm sure they're thinking of you, pining away in prison - then again, maybe not.

4. Why not, they'll have plenty of money to bathe in. Call it a "Halliburton
Dividend". Her silence is most likely protecting Dick Cheney.

7. Privacy laws prevent disclosure. Judy won't be running for office so only
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 04:22 PM by oasis
her tax man will know.

No doubt, the "big boys" have created a extra kitty for Judy's recent sacrifice.

5. If my wife were jailed, I'd play footsies with Isabella Rossellini ...
Come to think of it, if my wife wasn't in jail, I'd play footsies with Isabella Rossellini...
