[A few weeks back, MSNBC talk-show host Rachel Maddow appeared on “The Colbert Report” and noted that the governing failures of the Bush administration — its failure to respond to Hurricane Katrina, etc. — were inevitable, because George W. Bush stocked his government with people who were ideologically anti-government. “I mean, I like vegans,” she joked, “but it’s like hiring a vegan to be your butcher. If you have somebody who is really against the idea of providing you the service that you have hired them for, they’re going to be bad at providing that service.”] [via]
Rachel Profiling
Hello, I'm Rachel.
Writer/editor. New Mexican tumbleweed blown east to skyscraper country.
Right now, I am working on a book about F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, and Hollywood in the 1930s. It will also contain a lot of drinking, powder blue suits, dances at the Cocoanut Grove, betrayal, gossip columns, crazy ladies, secret Jews, film lot moguls, and Dorothy Parker quips at funerals. If the world is still around then, it should be out from Random House around 2014. So let's hope the Mayans were wrong.
If you want to say hi please do. Or find me in short form, here.
