I just read kind of a sad
little article about how Rachel Dratch can't get a job after getting hosed out of her part on 30 Rock and not invited to that dreadful Vanity Fair photo shoot and cover piece in which the refreshing beauty of our fairest funnee laydeez was extolled. I guess the purpose was to rebut habitual drunken provocateur Chris Hitchens' assertion that women aren't funny, in which he dismissed the femininity and allure of any female who might pose a counterexample. So, the logic goes, in order to argue against Hitchen's unsupported premise and its explicit dismissal of comediennes he finds unattractive as defective, and thus not really women, the examples proferred must be the Hot Ladies of Comedy done up in hottie style. (And boy, does Sarah Silverman look like a goon in Grecian get-up. Give the woman back her hoodie.) Even the less than standard attractive women (arguably, Sandra Bernhardt and Susie Essman) look pretty good. I'm surprised Amy Sedaris participated. I'm not all that surprised that Tina Fey let them slap cover-up all over her scar and never mentioned it took a flat iron and a 40 lb. weight loss to get herself out of the writer's room despite the fact that she didn't play characters other than herself on SNL.
Anyway, the point is, none of their racks can hold a candle to Rachel's.
