'Magic-Hour Glow'? Vogue Profile Inadvertently Turns Gavin Newsom into Laughingstock

I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career." ---Derek Zoolander

Did the Gavin Newsom campaign think it was a good idea to turn to Vogue magazine for a glowing profile piece as perhaps a desperate attempt to counter the disastrous Atlantic magazine story that recently blasted the California governor who has 2028 presidential aspirations?

Whoever that campaign person was could be finding his (or her) job currently at risk due to the hilarious blowback that resulted from the glam paean that resulted in Newsom coming off as the Zoolander of politics as portrayed on Sunday by Maya Singer in "Gavin Newsom Is Setting His Own Rules."

Just a brief sampling of some excerpts from the Vogue puff piece reveals why this boomeranged on Newsom by turning him into a laughingstock thoroughly mocked in much of the media, both news and social, as well as in much of the rest of the web.

“Melania” is beautiful, stylish, and extremely knowledgeable about style and taste.
Fashion magazine “Vogue” shuns that style stuff, I suppose.


Hah......good one.

Gov. Newsom will never be president-—Vice president maybe, senator perhaps but not president. When the scandals come out he will vanish into the night with his many millions.

“I’d like to see a cage match between Newscum and Beatoff O’Rourke.”

Maybe Claymores at 20 ft?
