Bernhard, after all, has been performing stand-up since the 1970s; her most recent bout of cultural relevancy came after she sent The View wingnut Elisabeth Hasselbeck into a tizzy by proclaiming that Laura Bush was "probably medicated"—and that was all the way back in 2006.
A tipster now writes in with a plausible explanation. Bernhard's longtime girlfriend, Sara Switzer, just happens to be a publicist at the mag under VF PR director Beth Kseniak. (She's "Cold and WASP-y and I love it," Bernard has purred of Switzer.) Funny how these things seem to work out!
