Wowowow.com, a site launched earlier this year, which targets women over 40, has raised a $1.5 million round led by Bob Pittman’s Pilot Group and the Rhime Group.
No word on valuation, but I’d guesstimate Wowowow.com’s investors peg its value in the high 9-figure range. The company has now raised $3.1 million in less than a year.
The five founders–former publisher Joni Evans, “60 Minutes” reporter Lesley Stahl; New York Post gossip columnist Liz Smith; ad exec Mary Wells; and Wall Street Journal political columnist Peggy Noonan–each contributed $200,000 each in an initial round. Some of the company’s high-profile pals, like Whoopi Goldberg and Candice Bergen, later kicked in another $600,000.owowowcom-gets-another-15-million/?reflink=ATD_y

That said, it's kind of handy that with the Coming of the New, Improved Black Jesus, so many allegedly "conservative" opinionators like her & Frum & Parker have outed themselves.
I suspected it, all along- at least they'll all get invited to the "cool" set's cocktail parties around the beltway, now.
As if she is fresh out of a girls’ finishing school, Peggy always talks like she is balancing a plate on her head.
That makes sense. She’s a Reagan democrat, it seems. V’s wife.
She does that tilt thing in an effort to be like Jean Kirkpatrick: thoughtful and intelligent. An Irish philosopher. Hell, even like Moynihan. She is like neither. V’s wife.
That wizened bunch is more like targetingwomen over eighty!
She has CLS. Creeping Love-me Syndrome. It is familiar to everyone who has watched a hitherto conservative Republican evolve into a liberal during Washington and NT social situations.
