I hope this isnt behind a paywall, I was unable to test it before posting.
One of my favorite descriptions:
On the day he announced his candidacy this past November, the air was heavy with oleander and snipped greenery and sea mist colliding with mold and wood polish and hotel soap and the metallic vapor of Diet Coke and the alcoholic ferment of generations of cougars in Chanel No. 5.

(90,915 posts)He was also horrified, but really fascinated at the Sunset Boulevard/Norma Desmond movie revelations, as he knows the movie better than I. At the end of her article, Olivia Nuzzi brings up the end of the movie how the mad, washed-up movie star is tricked into coming quietly. You realize: thats probably how Donald could be captured as well
.
Do you remember how Sunset Boulevard ends? Norma Desmond shoots and kills the writer, a fraudster who has fallen under the spell of her charisma, just as he summons the courage to walk away. Her sycophantic butler flips. There are no enablers left to protect her. A final fantasy, a fake movie set, is staged in the mansions entryway. The lights go on, and she is lured before the cameras, where the police are waiting to haul her away.
