Citas de Graydon Carter

• Arrogancia, ignorancia e incompetencia. No es un buen cóctel de rasgos de personalidad en la mejor de las situaciones. No señor. No es un cóctel bonito en un compañero de oficina y no es un cóctel bonito en un jefe de Estado. De hecho, en un líder, es un cóctel letal.

• There are similarities between being an editor and a tailor. Tailors have a vast supply of fabrics, buttons and thread at their disposal and put it together to make a whole. That's what an editor does - looks at society at a given time and pulls together the interesting aspects into a single issue each month.

• In 2004, I wrote 'What We've Lost,' a book about the Bush administration. It sold only reasonably well, in part, I think, because the book was a horrific downer, an unrelenting account of the administration's actions, bungles, deceptions, half-truths, untruths, and downright corruptions.
