WIN ON TOUR

Which helping hands co-wrote The Maureen Dowd Collective’s insane, 2003-era rant against Anna Wintour this weekend? We’re thinking the high dudgeon screaminess sounds like Alessandra Stanley and Frank Bruni cracking themselves up after a few drinks. (Though Bruni is probably too busy to pitch in on her column right now, what with his book tour.) Plus we’re assuming her assistant did the reporting. (“I dunno, call Andre Leon Talley and whoever else one calls usually. Surprise me! Then quote… um, Keith Kelly-he’s still alive, right?”) But you know: could have been anyone (amped up on a few hits of nitrous) really. Anyway, someone give this funny lady and her funny friends a blog!
