Donna Shalala: “Let Them Eat Mangoes”
Friday, February 17th, 2006
We’ve always had a soft spot for that spunky Donna E. Shalala. Shalala, who served as President Clinton’s Secretary of Health and Human Services for eight years — and gave him a proper tongue-lashing over L’Affaire Monica — currently serves as the President of the University of Miami.
Now President Shalala is receiving some poorly timed publicity. A reader advises us:
Just as University of Miami President Donna Shalala is fighting off attempts by low-wage janitors at her campus to win a living wage, the Sunday New York Times magazine goes and prints a two-page spread about her luxury home in Coral Gables. Since leaving the trenches of the Washington battles over health care, Shalala and her dog “Sweetie” are living it up with a Lexus SUV and Lenox china bowls.
After the jump, more details about Shalala’s 9,000 square-foot mansion, 29-foot-motorboat, collection of fine antiques, and luxurious garden — where she grows fresh mangoes and grapefruit. YUM!
