By: E&P Staff The New York Times Magazine put up online way early its forthcoming Sunday cover story on Obama trying to "close the deal" with "white guys." But another highlight, not yet on the Web, is the latest installment of its regular two-page spread titled ?Domains,? where they pay a visit to a well-known individual?s home.
This week?s subject would not have been in that famed category a year ago but now the new MSNBC primetimer Rachel Maddow gets the royal visit at what it calls her ?1865 house in western Massachusetts.? A previous Domain featured her MSNBC sparring partner, Pat Buchanan.
We see her with her dog plus snaps of favorite objects, such as a squirrel sculpture, four kinds of mustard from her fridge (?I am a mustard person"), a favorite sneaker, two ashtrays from the Watergate hotel, and her 7-year-old red Ford pickup. ?We have no television,? Maddow confesses. Her partner, Susan, ?wants to buy one, but where we live there?s no cable.?
Fictional character she identifies with: "Wally Cleaver. Cause he is a dork.? We also learn: "I am a hobbyist bartender. I have a a liquor cabinet. I research classic drinks from the golden age of American cocktails and I make them for me and Susan.? Favorite place to shop: ?I don?t shop.? Concession to vanity: "I?ve had to get contact lenses.? Favorite movie: "The Manchurian Candidate," original version. Obsolete item she won?t part with: A stockpile of lawn mowers. Worst job: Waitressing. After the election: "I won't do anything I don't have to for awhile."
