Bruce Feiler - Where God Was Born, Abraham, Walking The Bible

Dr. Ruth Disses Me
Thursday, February 15, 2007

Mrs. Feiler Faster is in a social/business group that had a members-plus-spouses dinner tonight at Per Se in New York. (By the way, Per Se may have been the least romantic place in New York tonight. It seemed like mostly business dinners, very few couples, unless you count Nicholas Cage clinging to a woman in a too-red dress.) Anyway, don't ask me how, but the guest of honor was Dr. Ruth. She pointed out proudly that she had been on CNN and Fox News earlier today and gave us all signed copies of Dr. Ruth's Sex for Dummies.

At one point, she came over to my table, I shook her hand, someone brought up WALKING THE BIBLE, and she announced, "I have that book." A few minutes later I called over to Mrs. Feiler Faster. "You're missing an interesting moment here," I said. "Dr. Ruth turns out to be a WALKING THE BIBLE fan."

"I didn't say I'm a WALKING THE BIBLE fan," she quickly corrected. "I said I owned WALKING THE BIBLE."

Praised by President Bush and dissed by Dr. Ruth in the same week.
