Susan Estrich: Bcc Conscientious Objector?
More news from one of ATL's favorite law firms, Quinn Emanuel. See Gawker and Radar.
If your friends are as fabulous as Susan Estrich's, why hide them behind a bcc?
Query: Could this actually be a brilliant viral marketing ploy? Has Susan Estrich harnessed the power of the blogosphere to get all the world to read her paean to QE?

Alan Colmes can now reclaim his position as the ugliest man on FNC.
Lots of typos in her email - YIKES.
The photo of SE accompanying the linked Radar article must be 1. 20 years old and 2. retouched.
In addition to being utterly obnoxious, Ms. E is a total hag.
I cringe equally when I see her or the Clinton turncoat-pervert (got religion now, even fatter, now I embrace conservative values) Dick Morris.
Unlike Morris, SE means well, but PLEASE Fox, do not pollute my abode during my whilst I am eating...
"I hope you'll call my colleagues and *I* at Quinn Emanuel."
Huh. I guess I have better grammar than a genius, rich, perfect brief-writing law professer who is friends with everyone that matters.
Anyone else feel like the email fell somewhere between "breathless college student" and "vapid marketing pamphlet"?
Thank you!
Holy Shit - the before and after pictures remind me of the time I watched Senator Palpatine transform into Darth Sidious right before my eyes. The dark side of the force is strong with this bitch . . .
I took a class with Estrich. I'm absolutely 100% certain Estrich intentionally "forgot" to bcc the recipients. Anyone else who took a class with her (or read any of her books, or spent 5 minutes with her) knows what I'm talking about....
Gag me. Self-promoting, pompous dork. Like most lawyers.
here we go again with the misogynistic comments about smart, aggressive women....
3:31 what the fuck are you talking about? Tell us damn it!
I really hate the new Vault banners (is that the right technical term?) that pop up all over the place on this site. Guess ATL has to pay the bills somehow, but they're obnoxious and tasteless.
Even the "after" picture on this post is totally flattering to SE, and does not begin to capture her ugliness.
The voice doesn’t help.
can someone find out who "christie@playboy.com" is?
"As you probably know, I've been practicing law on the side for most of the twenty five years that I've been teaching law, both at Harvard and at USC, at least when I haven't been trying to get various folks elected President."
Oh, what a bitch. At least she is not "listening to Bach, while reading at a 5th grade level."
/subtle dorkery
3:35 what the fuck are you talking about? Tell us damn it!
ABSOLUTE POWER!
3:31 I took a class with her too. Wish I could do that every semester. I know exacly what you mean...esp since ATL got wind of this. It's too perfect. Spend one hour in her class and you'll have tremendous respect for her.
christie@playboy.com is almost certainly Christie Hefner, CEO.
UNLIMITED POWER!!!
Get your dork straight, 3:55.
Fake Darth (3:55) says good call True Darth! I hate that I f'ed that up!
dear susan,
thanks for your email. because of it, anonymous emailers have sent me approx. 20 copies of "2 girls 1 cup." you are truly a thoughtful friend.
It's not mysogonistic to say that she's a pretty disgusting person ... this is why people don't like lawyers. Pure self-promotion.
If these high-powered people were truly her friends she wouldn't have to give them SO MUCH background about herself. She's a hero in her own mind!
3:47 - Most likely Christie Hefner, Hugh Hefner's daughter, and chief exec of Playboy

This bitch is rough-
3:35, I'm an ardent feminist and usually one of the first to call out ATL commenters for their considerable misogyny. Pointing out what a self-aggrandizing narcissist this woman is is not sexist. Just because she's a woman doesn't mean we can't criticize her. I'd think she was just as much of a social reject if she were male.
In The Name Of The Senate Of The Galactic Republic You Are Under Arrest Chancellor . . .
4:48 - are you kidding? Men send emails like this ALL the time, and they sure as heck don't get pictures of them posted "before" and "after" and get called a bitch
3:35 (presumably that was directed at me), at the time you posted your comment there weren't as many sexist remarks as there are now, so I do think you were jumping the gun slightly ("bitch" was uncalled for, but comparatively mild for this site) -- and I didn't say posting her picture was acceptable (everyone knows how Lat loves to play up gender -- this tendency in most of my gay male friends constantly irritates me, by the way, but I digress...). I just said that pointing out what an ass she is isn't misogynist. Because it isn't.
That line - coffee over pipes, classic Estrich!
Wish I could still take her classes - now that I'm working in BigLaw, boy would I have some sh!t to contribute in the discussions.
4:58 - fair enough, we're preaching to the choir here!
Wow. Nick Denton must have an awesome legal team behind him if he's got the guts to publish the personal emails of all these people . . . right after drawing the ire of facebook for his valleywag article.
Sour grapes. Lat is just pissed he's nowhere on the to: line.
I could only look at that picture of Estrich on the right through a mirror, for fear of being turned to stone.
Shameless self-promoter she is. True friends those identified in the email are not. Name-dropped she has.
Must be a slow day for Lat. There is no sex scandal here, no judge abusing his power, no frivolous lawsuit, no salary or bonus news, and no criminal arrests or convictions. This is a just a stupid email sent out by one person to a bunch of other people.
Why is this even news? Who cares.
Send self-aggrandizing emails guys at my high school all the time used to send, no big deal it was.
she obviously is a ninja. a pirate would never wear a heinous mask like that.
"I suppose wishing intense business litigation on friends may not be a fond hope, but if you face issues in the future, civil or criminal, where you could use a powerful team on your side, I hope you'll call my colleagues and I at Quinn Emanuel."
I like the grammatical error in the highlight sentence of the email. It should read "colleagues and me". And she is a litigator? I though pedantry is a prerequisite. Probably not great for soliciting business...
Talk about irony, I'm currently in her Gender Discrimination Law course. I wonder if she'll bring this up in our next class? If not, I hope someone in the class has the balls to ask her about it!
its colleagues and me.
dumbass
FRAT YODA is in the running for post of the year . . .
Hey Lat - why don't you do a survey on people's favorite alter-egos? Do you prefer FRAT STUD, ORIGINAL FRAT STUD, Gallion, WGWAG, etc?
If you want, I can write you a few snippets of code, it's really super easy.
Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.
Okay, I get it. Any criticism, no matter how well deserved, of a woman = sexist. Gee, and I thought it was only my wife who could do no wrong.
