After 33 years at the New York Post, Cowtown native Liz Smith will publish her last Post column tomorrow. Her editor, Col Allan, says the current financial crisis forced Smith’s termination. The 86-year-old gossip maven was making $125,000 a year.
“I figure that without having to pay my salary, the Post will immediately go into the black,†Smith joked.
Last year, the frequency of her columns was cut to three days a week. “I protested,†Smith said. “I had meetings with everybody. I carried on. Didn’t do any good. Mr. Allan is firmly at the helm of The New York Post, and I was never under the impression that I was his cup of tea.â€
Liz will continue a form of her column at the Web site wowOwow.com.
You have an error in your title. Liz Smith is an out bisexual. She came out as bisexual a number of years ago. She’s been married twice, both times to men. As far as I know, she has never identified herself as a lesbian, only as bi. Please correct the title of this article; it is inaccurate at best and biphobic at worst.
Are Bisexuals just greedy ???????
