Ned Pepper's Outrages

A Love Match

Ned was particularly revolted by an article on the FRONT PAGE of today's NYT, discussing or perhaps giggling over the marriage of the IMF's ex-head Strauss-Kahn and former newsreader, oops, "anchor," Anne Sinclair. The article described their marriage as "a love match." Ned is not sure where the evidence for this interpretation came from, but for brevity's sake he is willing to stipulate that the marriage was not an arranged one, nor a shotgun wedding with the father of the bride "officiating" holding a shotgun. Perhaps the evidence came in the preceding sentence which read (and here Ned is paraphrasing) 'he has been married twice before, and has four children. She has been married once before and has two children.'
Ned can only presume that the earlier 'matches' between these members of the foreign Sneering Plutocracy were, regrettably, not "love matches," given how sadly they turned out.
