Has ANYONE been able to find the new Vanity Fair?
The one with the Sibel Edmonds article? Here around Dallas, we've been looking for it for a few weeks, and haven't seen a TRACE of it anywhere!

We hate to seem paranoid, but we're beginning to wonder...why aren't ANY copies of this magazine available ANYWHERE...grocery stores, B & N, Borders, newsstands....have evil little minions in various Republican orgs around the country been put to work buying up all the copies of it?

Anyone had any luck anywhere else? PM me if so, we'll send you the bucks to get us one.

1. THe one with Jennifer Anniston on the cover?
I have it at home. I'll bring it to work tomorrow and fax you the article if you want. PM a fax number if you have one.

Let me see if BabSis can find one in Houston tomorrow. I know reprehensor would like to have a copy of our own if we can.

If not, I'll let you know!

4. I called Vanity Fair's offices today
It is not to be had here in the Seattle area, either. I have never known an issue of Vanity Fair to sell out so completely or so quickly.

I didn't realize that there was an article about Sibel Edmonds as well; now this is a bit more than weird.

7. Everyone must have wanted to read what Jen had to say about Brad
It took forever for the issue with the Deep Throat article to get to me. Delivery of the mag is inconsistent to say the least!

8. Nice to know we're not the only ones feeling a little oogy....
Especially in liberal cities like Seattle and Dallas (hey-- we just elected a gay Latina sheriff, OK?).

I mean it could sell out 1 or 2 places. But the entire city?

10. Hmmm
Get mine in the mail. Got this one on time. It also has a blistering critique of the media re Plame and Rove. I will look at local stores this weekend to see if it's there, in Portland. Can you ask the store to order more? Don't know if they ever do that with magazines. Tell them you are the BIGGEST Jennifer Aniston fan in the world. He he. And damn that Angelina! Bigger he he.

13. That was a great article about Rove
Vanity Fair is such a strange mix of celeb gossip and high end advertising and progressive political features.

if they include this issue with a new subscription? I mean, if you can't buy it in your hometown...

18. Vanity Fair Interview with Sibel Edmonds
Vanity Fair Interview with Sibel Edmonds

Vanity Fair | September 2005

AN INCOVENIENT PATRIOT

By David Rose

Love of country led Sibel Edmonds to become a translator for the F.B.I. following 9/11. But everything changed when she accused a colleague of covering up illicit activity involving Turkish nationals. Fired after sounding the alarm, she’s now fighting for the ideals that made her an American, and threatening some very powerful people.

In Washington, D.C., and its suburbs, December 2, 2001 was fine but cool, the start of the slide into winter after a spell of unseasonable warmth. At 10 o’clock that morning, Sibel and Matthew Edmonds were still in their pajamas, sipping coffee in the kitchen of their waterfront town house in Alexandria, Virginia, and looking forward to a well-deserved lazy Sunday.

Since mid-September, nine days after the 9/11 attacks, Sibel had been exploiting her fluency in Turkish, Farsi, and Azerbaijani as a translator at the F.B.I. It was arduous, demanding work, and Edmonds—who had two bachelor’s degrees, was about to begin studying for her master’s, and had plans for a doctorate—could have been considered overqualified. But as a naturalized Turkish-American, she saw the job as her patriotic duty.

The Edmondses’ thoughts were turning to brunch when Matthew answered the telephone. The caller was a woman he barely knew—Melek Can Dickerson, who worked with Sibel at the F.B.I. "I’m in the area with my husband and I’d love you to meet him," Dickerson said. "Is it O.K. if we come by?" Taken by surprise, Sibel and Matthew hurried to shower and dress. Their guests arrived 30 minutes later. Matthew, a big man with a fuzz of gray beard, who at 60 was nearly twice the age of his petite, vivacious wife, showed them into the kitchen. They sat at a round, faux-marble table while Sibel brewed tea.

19. Nonny! Saviour of Worlds!
I'm serious though.

Head on down to the local Borders or Barnes & Noble and see if they have a copy of the September Vanity Fair.

VF didn't 'sell out' when skanky Angelina Jolie was on the cover, there's no way it's gonna sell out with 'Rachel of Friends' on the cover.

She doesn't have enough tatoos.

Thanks again!

24. Hmm... I was just in Dallas last weekend for a reunion...
of old classmates of overseas brats that lived in Turkey there... I shared my Vanity Fair magazine for reading the Edmonds article with everyone I could there while in town which gathered a lot of interest with that bunch. I'm guessing a few went out and bought copies, but perhaps I helped fuel demand more than I might have expected! :) Sorry 'bout that!

Well, at least you're getting em interested.

Turkey?

Meerhaba! Oda da dus varmi?

That's about the extent of my Turkish. Oh, and I know enough to order tea, olives and white cheese to keep myself from starving.

27. That's quite a story
Thanks Nonny! Nice the way Hastert dumped the blame on Clinton.
The corruption is complete and I hope the whistleblowers will get some traction.
Let's get some honest people back.
