Women in Communication held their annual Matrix Awards gala yesterday here in NYC. Some highlights:

Rosie on Rupert Murdoch (who was in attendance):

“I was looking for numbers on his head. There aren’t any.”

Meredith Vieira:

Meredith says she feels like a bit of a fraud, because she didn’t know what she wanted to do professionally when she was younger.
She said she was the victim of circumstances–and of a vagina. Lesson No. 2, your vagina can open doors, she adds.

Hillary:

Hillary says she’s here to pay a debt. Fifteen years ago, I hired a young woman to be my press secretary, my first. The young woman was Lisa Caputo, the next Matrix winner to be announced.
When she left the White House, our relationship changed and blossomed, says the senator. I would not be anywhere else in the world today, she adds, than to present the award to Lisa.
“Thank you, President Clinton,” quips Lisa, stepping up to the podium.
