I actually try to leave TNR alone like Britney, but it’s really unfortunate that the magazine had to resort to such a sexist trope in the opening of its Obama endorsement:

The past eight years have been like watching a TV makeover show in reverse. We entered the Bush era a ravishing beauty attracting envious stares. We leave it a gum-smacking sad sack with split ends and an empty social calendar.

Yeah, Bush made a pretty bitch ugly. Seriously, guys, do you actually think this is even good writing?
