Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez Remembers Cathy Seipp

Alisa blogs:

Cathy was a great writer, a quick wit, and she was fearless about having an opinion that was completely and utterly independent. She was a beloved conservative, but she was not the kind to toe the party line. She had real opinions based on real thought. I grew to respect her, even when I disagreed with her politics.

When THE DIRTY GIRLS SOCIAL CLUB finally came out, Seipp surprised me by writing a generous review of it. (Generous considering how much reason she had to hate me.) She did not back down from her stance that I was a nutjob, an opinion I suspect she held her entire life, but she did have the guts to say I was a good writer, and to slap down the envious journalists (many of them liberals) who were picking me apart. Cathy said they were petty, and envious – and I think she was right.
