On Fridays We Wear Pink
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, the blonde-haired, pink-clad Regina George of the federal government, read aloud many pages of her Burn Book this week. From her main man to the White House press corps, Queen Conway took no prisoners.
On Sunday, the verbal contortions Conway usually performs with great aplomb on the morning shows faltered when ABC’s Jonathan Karl asked her to name the most prominent African-American official currently serving the President in the West Wing.
Conway paused before trying to berate Karl for not accepting the appointment of HUD Director Ben Carson as the requisite token minority.
She also name dropped “Ja’Ron,” referring to Ja’Ron Smith who, like Carson, does not work in the West Wing.
Not fetch.
A few days later, Conway lashed out at her husband, George, for committing a crime on par with wearing sweatpants to lunch on Mondays. Never a fan of George’s anti-Trump tweets, Conway decided to air her grievances in the most passive aggressive way possible.
She told a reporter that George’s tweeting is “disrespectful, it’s a violation of basic decency, certainly, if not marital vows,” then tried to retroactively take the comments off the record to be attributed to someone familiar with the relationship.
That’s not how reporter-source agreements work.
Conway wrapped up the week by zinging all the losers following her around the White House campus.
“Why is everybody so obsessed with the President of the United States that they can’t even begin or finish a sentence without mentioning his name five times. It’s kind of weird,” she said, flipping her blonde tresses over her shoulder.
For proving that the limit of headlines she can generate by being rude, offensive or ignorant does not exist, Kellyanne Conway is our Duke of the Week.
Perfect, Kate!
I thought I had KAC figured out, as someone who, like a lot of these parasitic “spin meisters and mistresses,” exaggerates her job, conflating it with the legal profession.
Everyone deserves legal representation of their side in a court of law. Okay. But lawyers are not allow to hear a murderer confess guilt and then lie to the court that he’s innocent.
When it comes to the court of public opinion, KAC mistakenly believes people in politics — many of them lawyers — have a right to have someone argue their side, except in her profession, she and her ilk knowingly lie. Their effectiveness depends upon knowing the whole story, so they know what to spin away from.
So Sean can swear on a stack of inaugural bibles that Trump’s crowd was larger, walk away, and act perplexed when everybody doesn’t let bygones be bygones. It’s a right of the privileged to have someone, or a “news” network, lie for them.
Pretty good hypothesis, I thought. Until KAC attacked her own family. Now, I suspect she is “just Regina,” living off taxpayers.
An undeserved honor. Kellyanne hasn’t done anything this week that she hasn’t been doing since early 2016. I would have given the nod to Rand Paul for crowing about getting John Brennan’s security clearance pulled.
Voting Conway Duke of the Week?
It’s like voting Duke Cunningham Duke of the Week–an exercise in redundancy. We need her acknowledged as a regular Duke, a full-timer, just because of who she is.
There is a hungry scam artist/emerging bullshit master who’s been denied a moment in the spotlight–have a heart!
Well Kellyanne , perhaps it`s because Dumper is a DICKHEAD .
I sense that a new award may be needed to cover the crap people in this administration pull, plus in Congress because of this administration can now pull.
Or multiple Duke award winners be recognized by a new award.
