Anna Wintour on David Letterman

An appearance by Anna Wintour on David Letterman seems ripe with comedic opportunities, but judging by the clip above, it was fairly low-key. It’s funny how Wintour’s composure gets instantly interpreted as “reptilian”, which…I don’t make any claims about Ms. Wintour being cuddly, but like Hillary Clinton, she is in a no-win situation. If she’s cool and professional she’s icy and controlling, and if she shows a hint of emotional she’s unstable and possibly going through the change of life. Sigh.

On a semi-related but infinitely more tangential note, I like how it is perfectly socially acceptable to use the word “reckon” in non-U.S. English speaking countries (I’m pretty sure it still skews as hillbilly speak here).
