I guess the redacted part is when they burst into a torrent of obscenities. And really, who wouldn't?

The report found that Stroum "has followed a pattern of public criticism of colleagues...who have not performed to her satisfaction."

Ok, I've had a boss like that. I hope she gets a burning case of diarrhea so painful it feels like she shit out a set of kitchen knives.

Rich bitch doesn't understand that you can't treat employees like servants, is my guess.

I can't help but think this isn't the first presidential donor with an attitude problem made an ambassador per tradition, and shunted into the likes of Luxembourg, Monaco or Bermuda.

P.S. The Stroum JCC on Mercer Island is fabulous, and I just read she's the one got Obama hooked on Fran's caramels with sea salt, plus she got a Tony nomination as producer of a Broadway revival of Raisin in the Sun.

Wonder if there isn't more to the story...hmm....

Once again proving that wealthy family scions and heiresses almost always drape themselves in modish robes of entitlement, however undeserved. And I'll bet she couldn't even speak Luxembourgois...

Damn, is she like 4 feet tall? Those junior-high looking kids are towering over her.

LOL. Next time someone pipes up w/ the "Seattleites are all passive-aggressive, over-polite" clap-trap, hit 'em w/ this.

I loved "Call Me Madam," the musical version of this story. Is Ethel Merman really such a stretch as Stroum? I think not.

The rich aren't like you and I. They are far, far less happy.
