The September Issue

Vogue: “In the September profile of Chelsea Clinton, ‘Waiting in the Wings,’ by Jonathan Van Meter, Dan Baer was mistakenly identified as an interior designer. He is a deputy assistant secretary for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor at the U.S. Department of State.” [HuffPo, via @anamariecox]

“interior designer” aka “homo”. Because Chelsea hearts the gays. And it’s in Vague. I blame Diana Vreeland. For everything.

@Dodgerblue: I’ll cop to getting shitfaced drunk while playing trumpet during a 1978 game, but that’s it.

Fashion note: Thick uniforms are handy for hiding flasks.

ADD: It took thirty years, but I’ve finally forgotten the fingering for the fight song. Although I’ve now self-earwormed the lyrics.

ADD2: Wait, wait — they have to memorize all the music? Shee-it. At least with a Bottom Ten football team, nobody gave a shit about our performance.

Jenna Bush, Chelsea, other presidential kids – no chance they’ll be evaluated on their merits. Seems to me both would be low-level functionaries managing a 10 person department somewhere were they not the children of political royalty.
