I'm so sorry to but(t) in...I usually just lurk, but Sleeping with the Enemy in a figurative sense, of course, does come to mind.
However, I have often been impressed with the staying power and survival skills of the most scoundrulous of rascals. I've seen men embarrassed on CNN at eight o'clock show up to parties at nine and act like nothing has happened.
Resilient scoundrals should suprise no one. Those who can muster what it take to be a scoundral typically can endure the taunts. It's the nature of the beast. Tongues can wag but Ms. Murray's days are filled with interesting work and her nights, weekends and vacations filled with the luxuries only money can buy.
She will endure this tempest and flourish. The outrage, however, is appropriate.

That is weak, Ms. Friedman.
No one here is demanding that Kay Murray take a vow of chastity and poverty. But in the mother of all copyright class actions on behalf of authors, she jumped from the plaintiff side to the defendant side before the ink on the settlement agreement was even dry. Indeed, it is reasonable to speculate that her new employment deal was in place months ago, with an original expectation that she would skirt controversy because there would be no objections and the case would be wrapped up on July 28.
Nice try at defending the indefensible.
