As one who has served as a spokesperson for a number of public officials, there is a point where you, as a professional, turn to the official and tell them, “I am not going to sacrifice my integrity and position in my world for you.”
Now, to be honest, I have never had the honor of being the ‘voice’ of the President of the United States", but in all honesty, I have been the voice of those who carry weight in my ‘community’ and have had to speak for them.
But, when all is said and done, I never SACRIFICED my integrity for the official in charge.
In the long run, I had a spouse to answer to and mortgage to pay. And, most important, a reputation to hold on to. Too bad “Spicy” has no canjones to grab on to on the way out.
I will never be canonized by Melissa McCarthy, and that is good thing.
Well, conservatives rule now, and that means there’s no such things as teams. It’s dog-eat-dog, as ambitious, self-serving ladder climbers vie for the favor of the one elite leader who knows all, the only guy who can “fix it”.
The other day, I watched the Obama talk in Chicago. It seemed really strange - like, who is this man - he seems to be from another planet and no one has told him what is going on here. There wasn’t even anything for the anger translator to work with.
