Alternate Fashions

A friend called to quarrel with my statement that Trump spokesfibber Kellyanne Conway doesn't believe the stuff she says on her boss's behalf. This is not worth a whole lotta debate time. Maybe she does. But look at her history and look at the way she has her spins prepared…and I can't help but think that if I could offer her the same salary and exposure, she'd be out there insisting that Groo the Wanderer was by all means the greatest, most popular comic book ever published.

Let's all remember this woman's job description. It's to go out and sell the idea that Trump is darn close to Jesus Christ in perfection, integrity and success, and that anyone who says otherwise about anything is a lying liar in the act of lying. The underlying premise is that the press must be discredited in advance of those moments when they'll be reporting that Donald has looted the U.S. Treasury, sold the states that didn't go for him to Russia and applied Liquid Paper to the original copy of the U.S. Constitution in the National Archives so he could add in some things about him having the job for life.

Meanwhile, a lot of folks on the 'net have said that the outfit Ms. Conway wore to the inauguration reminded them of Woody Woodpecker. As a one-time writer of Mr. Woodpecker's comic book, I don't see the similarity. When I saw how she was dressed, the first thing that came to mind was how they dress the people who work in the mall at the Hot-Dog-on-a-Stick stand. It's a shame Kellyanne couldn't pass the test to work at one of those because she'll need a job once Trump needs a scapegoat to blame for his lies…and she already kinda has the uniform.
