Lucianne would have laughed uproariously at what is happening in San Francisco and at what Elon Musk is doing with Twitter. I can hear her say, “It’s over for the coverups.”

The media will still try and   bamboozle us with its version of the Mr. Pelosi incident just as it did for every Dem attack on Trump, but it won’t work now that the richest man in the world who is also a tech genius can and will uncover the truth.

Since Lucianne’s passing at age 87 on Oct, 26th, there have been numerous essays both laudatory and a downright snarky one by the Washington Post. One headline in particular caught my eye – The Indiscreet Charm of Lucianne Goldberg by Andrew Ferguson in Time magazine.

What struck me the most about that headline was the word, ‘indiscreet’ because the Lucianne I knew for the past 27 years was probably the most discreet person in public life. She knew just about everybody in politics and the media. She knew lots of the nitty gritty embarrassing details in the lives of the rich and famous but she never publicized them. She had a bawdy sense of humor and might have been outspoken in private discussions with friends whom she trusted to keep our own counsel, but she was not a malicious gossip. Only the Clintons brought out her knives.

She’d always say, “my loathing for the Clintons requires medication.”  The Clintons tried to destroy her, she told me. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Lucianne was a literary agent whose clientele, including Mark Fuhrman, was persuaded to leave her company because of pressure from the president on the media outlets that Fuhrman and the other authors needed to promote their books. 

Many of the essays after her death mention Lucianne in the past years before I met her so I can only relate what I personally knew of this fabulous woman, who remains my favorite celebrity.

I had written a column defending Linda Tripp and she emailed me about posting the column on lucianne.com. We then began a close online relationship bonding on our mutual conservative connection but it wasn’t until years later that we met in person at the New York Sun. I had a sneaky suspicion that Lucianne had not met many Hispanic conservatives because she said I reminded her of Jennifer Lopez. No way, Jose.

I was invited to her inner sanctum on W. 84th Street to be a guest on her talk show which she hosted from home. She actually hated doing the show because she had to intermittently deal with sponsor ads and that wasn’t how Lucianne wanted to reach the public. It was her website, lucianne.com that she cared the most about and I was honored to be part of that legacy for so many years.

After the newspapers that I wrote for stopped publishing, I could still count on Luci posting my online columns in the ‘must reads’ of her website. She then hired me to monitor the site which I did for several years until the pandemic wore me out. While Lucianne was still in fine health, she had strict standards to be held and many, like myself, would put lucianne.com as our home page so we could learn all sides of hot political issues.

The site posters known as ldotters were only allowed to post articles from approved media sources. In the beginning, no blog sites were allowed but as the deterioration of legitimate journalism persisted, she realized that the truth could more often be found on citizen sites. Theconservativetreehouse.com, Gatewaypundit.co, American Thinker, Jewish World Review and others become the truthsayers and readers could compare their revelations to the leftist mantra in the mainstream/lamestream media.
