Kayleigh McEnany rolling out her new job. Watch out when the new
job rolls back. In this administration, they usually do.
Some of them you could
take seriously, even if you didn’t like the President of the time.
--Eisenhower’s Jim
Hagerty, former NY Times Reporter.
--Kennedy’s Pierre
Salinger.
--Johnson’s Bill Moyers.
--Ford’s Jerald
terHorst.
--Reagan’s Jim Brady.
Nixon had Ron Ziegler
who called Watergate a “third rate burglary.” So he’s a notch below the
list.
Yes, the job of press
secretary is to tell the public what the president is doing or thinking or
planning. It usually comes with a pro-presidential spin. But we expect that and know how to deal with
it. None of the above were cheap TV
Shopping pitchmen. Most were truly serious people with decent education and
dedication not just to their boss, the President, but to the American people.
Once we got to trump…
well, you know.
--Sean Spicer
--Sarah Huckabee
--Stephanie Grisham
(who?)
Annnd now…
Kayleigh McEnany.
What circus did the president
raid to find these clowns?
Spicer was so easy to
parody that all you had to do was dress up in an ill-fitting suit, stand behind
a platform and read Sean’s words without changing any of them.
Huckabee (or Huckabee
Sanders if you must) brought the art of lying to a new level. If she told
you skies were sunny, you’d instinctively take your umbrella. She could hold up a piece of red paper and
tell you with a perfectly straight face “it’s blue.”
Grisham was a
ghost. She gave exactly no briefings. What did she do for her +/-
$200,000?
And now, there’s
Kayleigh. She’s 31 years old and has a relatively long history with trump
who has become his own press secretary for which he allegedly is not paid
extra.
McEnany was a campaign
worker. Got on CNN a lot spouting pro-trump baloney all the while.
She was CNN’s token trumpette.
During her earlier days,
she was a covfefe virus minimizer.
She was an Obama
birther. Is that the kind of thing they teach at Harvard Law? If it is,
there should be a mass-migration of students to one of Betsy DiVorce’s pet
for-profit schools.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
- “We will not see diseases like the coronavirus
come here.” --Kayleigh on CNN in
February.
NOTES FROM ALL OVER:
(WASHINGTON) -- Dr.
Fauci says Americans should stop shaking hands forever as a way of avoiding
future outbreaks of trumpvirus. Never much liked handshakes anyway.
(LONDON) -- You’ll
surely be happy to know that Boris Johnson is improving. If ever there
were someone who needed improvement and wasn’t president of the US, it was
Boris.
(NEW YORK) -- Convicted
price gouger Martin “Pharma Bro” Shkreli wants out of jail so he can help
research a drug for the trumpvirus. Shkreli is serving a seven-year term in
federal prison. He’s best known for raising the price of a life-saving drug
from around $14 to around $750.
(WASHINGTON) -- The
International Air Transport Association wants the government to eliminate the
rule requiring refunds for passengers on cancelled flights. Do they even
do that? Your check is in the mail?
