Culture columnist/critic marymacTV writes: Who cares what she wears or how often she blinks? Elizabeth Holmes is just one more con artist proving that we're a bunch of marks.
In one way, Elizabeth Holmes has achieved her childhood dream.
No con artist in history has been as thoroughly, swiftly and obsessively documented. Bernie Madoff ruined more lives and wreaked more economic havoc, but do you know what sort of juice he drank? Did he have a dog? For the record, many people have weird food fads; in New York, women have been dressing in all black for years; Jobs has spawned a lot of idolatry; and it is not surprising that a young woman entering the tech world might try to speak in a lower octave.
Except she had been told repeatedly by very smart people that it would never work, and she herself could see that it wasn’t working. So unless Holmes believed in magic, she is absolutely no different than Madoff.
