Babe and The Jew Ox, Pt. 2: "Sheer lunacy containing all the brilliance of a dim bulb in Plato's cave," says former Talk admin. "Biting the hand that sees you." Leftover bits from yesterday's roundup of Tina Brown and Jesse Oxfeld. Tina on... Arrival to America and Vanity Fair: "My first meeting was strange because no one said anything or asked any questions. I'm used to meetings being loud and boisterous in London. I found out later they were all thinking 'What the fuck is she on about?' because my accent wasn't decipherable. This was useful when I had to let some of the staff go because I just fired the people who couldn't understand me." What she hates most about England: "It's the rain in their voices. Low-end, no energy." Radar magazine: "I like it. It would be better as a weekly." The problem with the New Yorker before she arrived: "It was being strangled by fake ivy's." (This actually elicited oooh's and hisses from the crowd.) Starting a magazine these days: "It's fine if you want to live in a basement, bleeding and dying from misery." Bonnie Fuller: "My daughter LOVES Bonnie and offers her opinion of US magazine every week." What the success of her TV show is dependent on: "My rolodex." CEO of CNBC, Pamela Thomas-Graham: "I love working for a woman. There's a certain Esprit De Corps." The initial reviews of her Washington Post column: "I was totally trashed." Running into journalists and asking for street directions: "I have spatial dyslexia." Ana Marie Cox: "I was 'Wonkette' years ago. It's fun to be mean. I would be doing the same 'I'm here, I'm loud' thing if I was her." Archives "The Other Page" powered by Removable Hype. RSS. Copyright © 2003 La Otra Página, Inc. All nights observed.
