This time it’s an interview with Hilary Clinton, photographed by my favourite over-rated (i.e. I like her but come on) photographer, Leibovitz. Again Vogue, has placed the fashion of a woman – and her looks – in highest priority over her accomplishments. Not so bad really, if it was an auto-mag, the focus would be on her cars.

We will not tone it down! The Stephen Colbert “feud” with Miracle Whip got actual news coverage by the Chicago Tribune.
