Dominick is Dunne

My multitasking abilities (not to mention your tolerance for yet more junk mail) didn't allow for more than one death notice yesterday, thus I am belatedly announcing the death of star Vanity Fair columnist, Dominick Dunne. Dunne profiled some of the highest profile trials of the 20th century, including the trials of Claus von Bulow, the Menendez brothers and OJ Simpson. His eloquence in being able to call a douchebag a douchebag, while using only the finest words of the English language, was unparalleled. Dunne died of bladder cancer in New York City. He was 83.

Two well read ghoulers had Dunn, Caryn Goldberg and Tommy DeVries. With the point from Dunne, Ms. Goldberg moves up to 3rd place, tied with Chris Spalding.

One oversight yesterday. Perennial ghoul pool contender George Gallucci actually had Robert Novak and picked up 2 points for his trouble.
