Biography

She is best known for being the first female columnist at TIME magazine. Carlson joined Time in January 1988 from The New Republic, where she was managing editor; in 1994, she became the first female columnist in the magazine's history. Carlson covered four presidential elections for TIME, but in 2005 she left for Bloomberg News where she writes a column.

Miss Carlson spent a year after college working at the U.S. Department of Labor and three other agencies. During that year she lived on Yuma Street in Anacostia with her grandmother Nellie McCreary, a maid at the Hotel Washington (Washington, D.C.) and former nurse's aide at St. Elizabeth's Hospital. After that she taught third grade in Watts, Los Angeles, before joining Nader's raiders. After law school, she was briefly a Federal Trade Commission lawyer under Michael Pertschuk, until the Carter administration ended.[1][9]

Her journalism career has included stints as Washington bureau chief for Esquire, editor of the short lived Washington Weekly, and editor of Legal Times in Washington. She writes a weekly column for the Los Angeles Times. At CNN she was a commentator on Inside Politics, and for 15 years a panelist on The Capital Gang.

"Until I was out of college, I knew the hospitality industry from the back stairs only; I would meet my grandmother after her shift as a maid at the Hotel Washington. An Eloise manquée, I was captivated by the smell of starched linen, the minute perfection of toilet paper folded into a tiny triangle, the standing ashtray imprinted with a coat of arms. ... I met Chris [Matthews]and Kathy soon after I arrived in Washington. Along with Kathy's mother, I cooked their wedding rehearsal dinner 20 years ago. Courtney, around six at the time <nowiki>[1980], separated 120 eggs for chocolate mousse cake. Two years ago, on May 5, Chris and Kathy returned the gift by hosting Courtney's rehearsal dinner at their house.... my brother Jimmy got the job he's been hoping for. Although he can't recognize numbers well enough to match grocery carts with cars in the pick-up lane like the rest of the baggers, the Giant grocery in Camp Hill saw that he could make up for that in other ways."
