Title: It's a drag! Myrna's got a brand new bag!
Product review: This shrill, silly, thinly argued book obviously is intended to launch Myrna Blyth's career change from women's magazine editor to the newest conservative pundette. She finds conspiracy and victimhood behind each service piece, insisting the ladies' mags are selling "unhappiness" with what she sees as its inseparable twin, "liberalism."Blyth spent more twenty years (which must have been the sheerest hell for her, suppressing all those opinions) at the helm of Ladies Home Journal. This is a magazine I respect quite a bit, so the undiluted spleenishness of "Spin Sisters" surprised me. However, she probably will be around for awhile, sharing the banquette-and-microphone circuit with Ann Coulter, so we'll just have to get used to her, alas.
