Mike Allen’s bizarre attack on Conan O’Brien
Do not insult the Washington Hilton in the presence of Mike Allen, or Politico’s star reporter will launch a multi-day crusade against you in his widely read morning tip sheet.Conan O’Brien made this mistake while emceeing the White House Corespondents Dinner. “You know, I was worried with the sequester that we would be forced to hold this event at less prestigious hotel than the DC Hilton — then I was told that’s not possible,” O’Brien said in a riff mocking the aging mid-century modern hotel in Washington’s Dupont Circle.Allen was not pleased. The scribe whose odd obsession with “influence” and Washington power inspired a legendary Marc Leibovich profile, cried in Playbook Monday, “Conan O’Brien hurt his buzz” by making “four baseless, elitist cracks about the Hilton, acting as if it were a Motel 5.” Allen returned to the subject in today’s Playbook, adding that on top of Conan’s “bizarre, elitist attack on his hosts at the Washington Hilton,” the comedian also eschewed the free room provided by the hotel to instead stay at the Four Seasons.Continue Reading… … Read More
“The Bletchley Circle,” a feminist murder mystery
When it comes to TV, Sunday nights are already more overstuffed than a turducken. Between “Mad Men,” “Game of Thrones,” and “The Good Wife,” and with “Walking Dead,” “Breaking Bad,” and “Downton Abbey” waiting in the wings, it’s a DVRs busiest night of the week. You can now add PBS’s “The Bletchley Circle” to the list of worthwhile Sunday night programming, though this at least is one you can record to watch on some non-Sunday — no one is going to spoil it on twitter— or track down after Don Draper has slunk his mopey, existentially despairing self through the 9th circle of hell and into “Mad Men’s” off-season hiatus.“The Bletchley Circle” is a refreshingly brief— three episode— mini-series from ITV: more precisely, it is a feminist, period, murder mystery mini-series from ITV. The first episode, which aired last week, began during World War II at Bletchley Park, the center of British code-breaking, with four women cracking a code about German troop movements. The series picks up in 1952, with those women —and everyone else who worked at Bletchley Park— having signed the Official Secrets Act, forbidding them from disclosing their work during the war, a return to normalcy that has left some of them unfulfilled.Continue Reading… … Read More
