Last night, delightful character Fran Lebowitz got cornered at Graydon Carter's party, and asked about McKinsey, the consultants who are making recommendations on how to overhaul the Conde Nast Magazine Empire of the Sun. Fran! "Why do you need to hire anyone to tell you what to do? If I owned a magazine and I needed advice, I'd ask myself. I don't understand this. I don't understand what their purpose is." THANK YOU, THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SAYING.

You buried the lede.
The real story here is that Fran Lebowitz is still alive and that somebody actually asked her opinion.
In my mind, it's always 1993, so Fran Lebowitz is always on the front page.
It's SO AWESOME inside me. (That's what she said.)
Oh C'mon. Now you're just frontloading your comments for that!
@Choire: Well at least Gawker took the time to plagiarize your and comments again. So look on the bright side.

saythatscool, I wonder what RonMwangaguhunga has against her?
She should pitch a story about it.
Fran Leibowitz is the soul of a Drugstore Cowboy in the body of a tiny Jewess. And I love her.
I concur, Fran rocks.
The quote at the end of the article is great: "'How should I deal with my money?' 'Don't spend all of it!'". Ha.
The purpose of these consultants is to fire those employees that the "management" doesn't have the guts to do. All else is facade.
M'r. Carter's longtime pal and Vanity Fair contributing editor Fran Lebowitz was spotted a little later sitting with her feet up in one of the booths in the front part of Monkey Bar. "This place could use a few ash trays," she said.'
AWESOME.
