Aside from being mothers of a daughter, I never expected to find a whole lot in common with Rielle Hunter, but I liked what she had to say about why people make harsh judgments about others. It reminded me not to jump to conclusions without a few strides in another woman's Louboutin's and made me think of the all-about-me types that have spent the better part of a decade and more persecuting the Ramseys.

But before I forget, having been away off and on for the past couple months, kudos to the folks over at the National Enquirer for the subsequent nomination acceptance by the Pulitzer Prize Board for the investigative reporting on the Edwards-Hunter scandal. And congrats to the Pulitzer Prize Board too for demonstrating it's objectivity by seriously considering the NE's effort, skill and production.

Whatever the mention, reference and meaning or interpretation, JonBenet remains high-value for association no matter how long or broken the dotted line. Here is the JonBenet connection to a book written in 1988 by an ex-boyfriend that describes his prior experiences with the ex-wife of the son of the ex-prosecutor in JonBenet's case and where said ex-girlfriend becomes the future ex-girlfriend of an ex-Presidential candidate --

True Story
Jay McInerney's Story of My Life.
By Morgan Meis


"I'm like, I don't believe this shit." That's the opening line of Jay McInerney's Story of My Life. The thought is coming from Alison Poole, the protagonist of the novel (if you can use that term). McInerney based the character of Alison Poole on a woman he dated in the ’80s. Her name back then was Lisa Druck. She later married a guy named Alexander Hunter III and changed her name to Rielle Hunter...

Whatever name she goes by — Alison Poole, Lisa Druck, Rielle Hunter — she jumps out of McInerney's book and into the ages. After her stint as a New York party girl in the ’80s she drifted to Los Angeles where she became Mrs. Hunter. Her father-in-law, Alexander Munro Hunter, was the prosecutor in the JonBenet Ramsey murder case..."
