29228 goosip -- rank: 1000

New York Post - July 17, 2002 [PageSix] Revealed! The bad ex WRITER/academic Katha Pollitt didn't name her ex-boyfriend in The New Yorker, where she calls him "a womanizer, a liar, a cheat, a manipulator, a maniac, a psychopath."

Pollitt, 52, included a stinging critique of her ex-live-in lover in "Learning to Drive, which is partly about Pollitt finally getting her license. Pollitt, a longtime colum ...

I'm feeling energized. Doug
