Now I can die happy

November 29th, 2006

'Employee Of The Month'Jessica Simpson’s been slated to star in another abomination of the silver screen, one that’s being hailed as a modern-day “Working Girl.” Just what we need, another dopey pin-up girl tainting the image of hard-working women everywhere. Though, to its credit, 1988’s “Working Girl” does serve as a vehicle for Melanie Griffith to utter this kickass line, which I put at the front of my book:

I’m not gonna spend the rest of my life working my ass off and getting nowhere just because I followed rules that I had nothing to do with setting up.
