Hi Vicky!
Not everyone cares to have a spotless reputation.
Sounds like Cat.
I have a bit of a reputation – not just here, at the office, but all around this town.
Still sticking with Cat.
I’m known for always, and I mean always, getting the story.
Oh, okay, Claude.
I’m good at my job. Almost too good.
Yeah, would be awkward if she had a spouse who’s newsworthy . Which also means this looks like the obvious choice of Lois.
But the tradeoff for being known as a reliable gossip columnist?
Oooooh, this was a great misdirection with the previous paragraph!
/Psst/ 'they'
. I’m their Gossip Queen and they flock to worship me by ignoring the front page in favor of my column.
The Cult of Page Six
I’m not a monster – someone so utterly despicable that I can’t be trusted. I’m not the kind of woman who would steal an article or go to the point of nearly breaking – or absolutely breaking, as the case may be – the law to get my story.
Wow, that’s a multilayered dis at Lois. She didn’t just point her out as an untrustworthy criminal but as a despicable monster.
“Oh look, here comes Cat Grant, the Daily Planet’s very own...”
“escort service”?
Insert your favorite derogatory word or phrase meaning “sexually uninhibited woman” here.
of basically daring him not to sleep with me because I was an attractive woman.
Its funny how those arguments never seem to make sense.
“Watch it, ladies, the campus skank might dig her claws into your man next.”
So, what about the other…uh 30% or so uninhibited college students?
Oh, right: they’re probably leading the charge in finger-pointing while wearing white habits.
. If I was going to read gossipy type articles, then I craved real gossip.
“Bank manager trades sexual favors with conservative senator for multi-billion bailout.”
Bruce Wayne got a bad haircut?
Oh, so Bruce was more a ‘70s Batman and that’s where the car was from in the Lake menagerie.
which at the very least prompted my parents to pi]finally[/i] agree to letting me get contacts
Right then and there, I killed the old Cat Grant and transformed myself into someone new.

LOIS: I never want to be a woman who goes after the men she wants with unrestrained passion and design. Umm... Why are you pointing at Superman? Clark? No, I never went after Clark. The pheromones? No no, that was a misunderstanding.
maybe even borderline inappropriate at times.
Borderline? At times?
And I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation.
Great Catnip. It is always fun to get those let’s-humanize-the-joke stories about the scenery.
