Ubi bene ibi patria
" In comments to Fox News yesterday, Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway painted the President’s reticence to discipline her for an embarrassing ethical breach as a victory for women everywhere.
“All I can say to America’s women is,” Conway simpered, “at some point in our life you ought to have a boss who treated you the way that the president of the United States treated me today.” Give me a break.
Kellyanne Conway’s unforced error had nothing to do with her being a woman, and everything to do with her being somebody who has, for the last three weeks, been astoundingly bad at her job. Conway sure seems eager to brand herself a victim of sexism in an attempt to garner sympathy. It won’t work this time.
Since signing on to help right the then-rickety Trump campaign, Conway has had a famously fraught relationship with the truth. She spent the presidential campaign slipping out from beneath the thumbs of cable hosts eager to pin her down bobbing and weaving like the Muhammad Ali of bull####. Nothing could stop her, it seemed. Whether or not she was a woman, she was damn good at her job.
But after inauguration day and under the microscope of White House press coverage, she lost her magic touch. She flailed in the nonsense of “alternative facts” in a disastrous interview with Chuck Todd during her first round of Sunday show interviews as a professional denizen of the White House. Not long thereafter, she left Fox News’ Chris Wallace aghast in a long, rambling answer that was Palinesque in its inscrutability. "
