Vanity Fair magazine just ended its third annual New Establishment Summit in San Francisco, a three-day conclave bringing together titans of technology, politics, business, media and the arts for inspiring conversations on the issues and innovations shaping the future.
More accurately, what the magazines predominantly liberal readership would deem inspiring. At least one of those conversations, between New York magazine writer Frank Rich and purported humorist/Vanity Fair contributing editor Fran Lebowitz, hardly qualifies.
Their discussion turned inevitably to the presidential campaign and Lebowitz offered this on how she knew Trump wouldnt win long before the pesky election that actually decides it
I just knew there were not quite enough morons. There are just a few too few morons for that to happen.
Just a few too few in lieu of just a few and this from a person with the job title of editor. Hold on, it gets worse. Heres Lebowitzs take on Trumps image
Hes a poor persons idea of a rich person. They see him. They think, If I were rich, Id have a fabulous tie like that. Why are my ties not made of 400 acres of polyester? All that stuff he shows you in his house the gold faucets if you won the lottery, thats what youd buy.
But the real gem came when Lebowitz was asked about anti-abortion advocates, like Mike Pence
[They] are the perfect advertisements for abortion. There should be retroactive abortions.
Two short sentences, and each so appalling.

Yes, Lebowitz, a professional curmudgeon, is being deliberately provocative. But she reveals more than intended and what comes through is repellent.
First of all, its hard to believe Lebowitz is sincere in stating that prominent politicians who oppose the killing of unborn babies are perfect advertisements for abortion as opposed to, for example, the woman whose life is threatened by her pregnancy? Wouldnt she make a better, uh, ad for abortion, for those inclined to think along these lines, as opposed to one merely featuring a politician Lebowitz abhors?
Lebowitz says this about Pence in a way she never would about Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, the only difference being that Richards shares Lebowitzs dogmatic opinion on abortion. Hence, Richards is worthy of life while Pence isnt. Lebowitz is not wishing Pence dead but the next closest thing, which is saying he should never have been born due a deadly medical intervention while in utero.
Whats most comical about Lebowitzs remarks, though not in the way she intends, is how cliched they are, especially considering her saying them amid this glittering colloquium filled with titans of media, tech, biz and the arts
abortion foes are the very reason we need abortion! It would be a stretch to suggest Lebowitz is only a degree separated from wanting political opponents herded into boxcars, but shes close enough to look over your shoulder. Its not the unborn Pence who Lebowitz wants aborted, its him.
Wasn’t there a “Fran Liebowitz” in Animal House?
I thought she was a photographer.
.
A euphemism for killing them.
Someone post a photo of Fran Liebowitz. I couldn’t bear to do it myself.
I hope he gets a visit from the Secret service for this.
I think that was Fawn, not Fran. Killed in that tragic kiln accident.
Her first.
Dude really. I hate to say it but Helen Thomas looks better.
You first Fran.
She’s welcome to try it out.
She won’t though. Liberals are often cowards.
That’s Annie. Great photographer. Not exactly conservative.
It’s coming...
At least they’re admitting abortion is murder.
No idea, but I have a STRONG HUNCH that posting such a photo would require a mega-barf alert.
Yep,you’re right——thanks.
.
Fawn died as a sophomore in a freak kiln explosion.
Oh, dear Lord, I GOOGLED it! As a good friend of mine used to say, uglier than a bag of assholes!
Sounds like she supports murder...inside and outside the womb. Liberals are such hate-filled and nasty people.
