WATCH YOUR BACK, MAUREEN DOWD
Long Island Lolita Gets a Column
Amy Fisher, the fabled “Long Island Lolita” who ten years ago last month shot Mary Joe Buttafucco, wife of Fisher’s boyfriend Joey Buttafucco, has taken a job as a columnist for the New Island Ear, according to a report by Leo Standora in today’s New York Daily News.
Robbie Woliver, editor the free, 40,000-circulation paper, says he discovered Fisher is “a natural writer.” Reacting to Fisher’s first assignment, Woliver said, “We were very surprised. We got a very witty, very insightful story from her.”
Fisher’s column doesn’t appear on the New Island Ear’s web site this week, an omission we hope will not be permanent.
Most recently in the news as a possible celebrity-boxing opponent for pugilistic former figure skater Tanya Harding, Fisher is now 28 years old and has a 14-month-old son, Brett Fisher.
No word yet on whether Fisher has applied for membership in the National Society of Newspaper Columnists.
