Do people still mail resumes? If so John Heilemann can save himself the stamp required to send his Vanity Fair, should he ever consider a shift from his current spot at New York.

On today's Morning Joe, Heilemann bizarrely trashed—excuse the pun—the staff at Vanity Fair. Said the Game Change co-author: "it's well known Vanity Fair has a congenital, pervasive alcohol dependency problem . . they're all drunk over there."

Do we care about someone from one liberal magazine taking a shot at another liberal magazine? Not really, but a strange spectacle nonetheless. Ping to Today show list.

Mark...it must be a slow news morning, the day after the long Memorial Day weekend, so I guess you're entitled to one WGAS column

Trust you had an enjoyable weekend...

At least when Vanity Fair had Christopher Hitchens on staff, they had one literate and articulate drunk.

Hitchens was the only reason to ever read Vanity Fair, which has long served as the journal of wealthy East Coast socialites who worship at the altar of power and celebrity.

A casual visit to the magazine reveals an editorial appeal to those who wallow in a shallow pretentiousness that seeks to validate their assumed superiority, while immersing themselves in the decadence that today both informs and defines the present worlds of entertainment and fashion.

It is a magazine written for those who crave summer in the Hamptons, winter in Aspen, and any conveniently proffered opportunity to peer down their rhinoplastic enhancements at the rest of America.
