-Caveat Lector- Buckley battles estranged bedfellow http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/46103p-43351c.html
About a Boy: Novelist, journalist and former White House aide Christopher Buckley is alleged to be the father of Irina Woelfle's 2-year-old, Jonathan. Christopher Buckley, who sends up a philandering President in his new novel, "No Way to Treat a First Lady," is learning more about sex scandals - probably more than he wants. The married writer is embroiled in a paternity action with PR woman Irina Woelfle over her 2-year-old son, Jonathan. Woelfle, 40, formerly worked at Random House, which published "Thank You for Smoking," one of Buckley's five novels. Woelfle's lawyer Ed Nusbaum tells us that Buckley, the 50-year-old son of conservative pundit William F. Buckley Jr., "voluntarily agreed" to a DNA test, which established him as Jonathan's father. Buckley also took it upon himself to file suit recently in Stamford (Conn.) Superior Court. Nusbaum says that the journalist and former speechwriter to President George H.W. Bush is seeking "to establish what child support should be paid." "The amount being being paid now is inadequate," claims Nusbaum, who says that Woelfle and Buckley also disagree "over when he became aware of his paternity." Nusbaum adds that "at this juncture there has been no contact between Mr. Buckley and Jonathan - by his choice. Overtures were made by Irina, which he rejected." Buckley is also seeking to have the court file sealed and have the case labeled anonymously as "John and Jane Doe," according to Nusbaum, whose client is opposing that motion. "It's the height of hypocrisy," says Nusbaum, "that Christopher Buckley, who makes his living from his political satire - demeaning people, embarrassing people, humiliating people - now seeks to be protected... " Buckley, who has obtained a temporary seal on the file, has two children with his wife, Lucy. "He is trying to do the right thing," says his lawyer, Mark Soboslai. "Chris is not hiding or ducking. He's acting on legal advice to keep this under wraps. We're trying to protect his young children. He wants to keep this discreet." Forwarded for your information.
