Which is one of the most laughable things that Kellyanne Conway has uttered in this already chock full of laughs absurd political season.
I mean, lets start with George Schultz, who, no disrespect, compared to Henry Fucking Kissinger, was sort of a lightweight on Foreign Affairs and National Security and intelligence issues when he was appointed Secretary of State by Ronald Reagan in 1982. By 1969, George Schultz had been a full professor at two of the country’s most prestigious universities and dean of a graduate school at one of them. Between 1969 and 1974, Schultz held the following positions in the Nixon-Ford Administrations: Secretary of Labor (and let’s all remember that Nixon was an enlightened moderate in this area compared to the ideologues the GOP has produced since Reagan), Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Secretary of the Treasury.
Mitt Romney’s qualifications, besides “having the look”, are that while evading the Draft during the Vietnam War, he served as a Mormon Missionary in the North of France, and that wonderfully successful foray into International Affairs during his campaign when he visited the UK.
Rudolph Giuliani evaded the Draft without gaining any international exposure. But, on the plus side, he was mayor of one of the US cities with the biggest internationally diverse populations. On the minus side, his time as mayor of that city was distinguished by his persecuting and scapegoating those hindu and muslim taxi cab drivers and all those Senegalese livery cab drivers, and all those Squeegee Windshield Cleaners of various international and local origins. Another negative, he has international business entanglements but on the plus side, compared to Donald Trump those conflicts of interest are infinitesimal. Finally, he has possibly the least stable and least diplomatic temperament in the entire United States. But on the plus side, like Nicky Haley, he is a descendant of immigrants which is the new bar for the highest ranking international diplomatic jobs in the Reality TV Show that will be the Trump Administration.
Oh and yes, Kellyanne, George Schultz’s and Henry Kissinger’s asskissing loyalty were among their most important qualifications. Good checklist indeed.
Okay. LOL! Was really having trouble sorting it out.
Queen Ann I got that like right away. Anyway, she should take a leave of absence and consider all offers b/c, as much as we hate to admit it, she did a good job (I know) in managing to get Trump to the finish line and someone out there in TVLand will throw millions at her to run their campaign.
Saw this ad early this morning and immediately thought of trump’s boundless epic self directed greed…
John Lennon is my all time favorite musician and to me this song has the best set of lyrics ever written in the English language… ever. It reduces me to a blubbering fool every time I hear the song.
“Imagine all possessions
I wonder if you can…
no need fr greed or hunger
a brotherhood of man…”
In about a year, you and I will be fondly remembering Ari Fleischer as a relatively honest presidential spokesman with a mostly benign personality.
There is probably no person I despised more than Ronald Reagan, the vain, shallow, banal, philistine reader of Peggy Noonan’s words from a teleprompter. But I can tell that a year into the Trump Administration, like Nixon before him, I will be doing historical revisionism on my deeply held passionate opinions. Ari Fleischer is destined for the same memory laundering. At least in my case.
Giuliani is obviously acceptable to Trump’s rabble. He’s corrupt, has business interests overseas, and lacks knowledge of foreign affairs. He’s just like his putative boss Don the Con.
I suspect Don the Con touted Romney to publicly humiliate him.
