Where The Hell Do All These Sassy Women Come From
A couple of years ago, someone asked me in a very public forum, “Did you say, (fill in the blank with something I for sure said)?” I answered sarcastically, “No, I did not. Would Dale sass Roy?”
Only three people in this very public place knew what I was talking about and got the joke. I tried a hint and said, “Dale Evans, Roy Rogers”. They still didn’t get it. It was at that moment I fully realized that the days of Dale and Roy were officially over.
Mike Pompeo hasn’t realized that yet.
After his very public fight with NPR reporter and superior intellect holder, Mary Louise Kelly, Pompeo did not know when to shut up.
First he challenged her on the radio and knew he lost so badly that he called her into the principal’s office to chew on her butt. She walked out with his butt in her back pocket and the only thing he could yell about was that the meeting was supposed to be off the record. He did not deny the facts of what she said. Kelly said there was no agreement about the meeting being off the record.
He called her “shameful” and that she violated “the basic rules of decency.”
Today, it has been announced that —
The State Department has removed an NPR reporter from a group of journalists traveling this week to Europe and Central Asia with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, days after Pompeo publicly feuded with the news outlet following a tense interview.
Let’s chat about shameful and decency, ya want?
I hope Dale sasses Pompeo upside the head and then runs over him with Nellybelle.
Out of the blue of the western sky comes… Michele Kelemen strafing Mount Pompeo with “The Songbird.”
I understand Don Lemon laughed so hard, he banged his head on the desk when told Pompeo couldn’t locate Ukraine if shown the letter U followed by a picture of a crane.
1Actually it was Mary Louise Kelly who did the interview. He retaliated against the wrong reporter, or else against NPR as a whole. You know, like a grown up.
2You are right. Thank you. I’ll go back and change it in the story.
3Remember when the Senate confirmed Pompeo? Yeah, that gross display of hogwash Senate ‘collegiality’ speaking an unbearable untruthy boatload of accolades about Mike. Yeah, that same Mike. He was just as much of an ass then as now.
4Ummmmm…Freudian Slip there with the “very pubic fight”??
(Whispers “you’re missing an “L”…)
5Correx: Mary Louise Kelly mea culpa.
6I’m going back to bed, y’all. Thanks, LizzyMom!
7Mike Pompeo, probably that 9 year old who was allowed 5 strikes when the neighborhood kids played sandlot baseball, just so someone would pick him for their team. Plus he owned the ball.
8Mike Pompeo is much more fun as SecState than he ever was as a congressman, even funner than as head of the C-eye-A. When he did something stupid there, it was classified.
9“When he did something stupid there, it was classified.”
Perfect comment charles. I imagine the CIA has boxes of files in storage under “P” (for Pompeo) labeled”
FOR NO ONE’S EYES ONLY
10I totally got the Dale and Roy reference, as well as NellyBelle ( the jeep driven by Roy’s sidekick Pat Brady).
Remember we always have to shoot the messenger when news comes out that’s not to our liking.
Also, how many of you think DTJ’s next executive order will be to abolish ALL inspectors general from all departments ?
11From reporter Jim Acosta’s Twitter feed four hours ago:
It’s been two days since a special surveillance plane crashed in Afghanistan (an E-11, of which we only had four) and two Americans were killed. Still no word from the C-in-C consoling the families of those lost (which considering Trump, might be a good thing).
12And don’t leave Dale’s horse, Buttermilk out of the action! She just had her hooves and mane done to look sharp for the party.
13My kids used to say,”So there, bfltzzz!” While sticking out their tongues. Same thing. BTW, Chuck Schumer has invited Les Parnas to the gallery if they can figure out what to do about his electronic ankle monitor.
14What is up with the ***king morons in Davos lovin’ on the ***king moron this year? Apparently unless the Toddler-in-Thief actually turns their oil future portfolios to ash while assassinating an Iranian general on Iraqi soil, they’re “good” with all the turmoil and uncertainty. Illegal? Meh.
The Evolution of “Davos Man” into . . . Trump Fan! https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/01/28/the-evolution-of-davos-man-into-trump-fan/
Worth a read. Especially the ending where some of the .01% demonstrate they “get it.” Abigail Disney who shows why women deserve their shot at leadership. See that Ivanka? Messy? Being raised by a ***hole or married to one doesn’t excuse being one.
15I personally would like to get his sorry butt in the Tahadi Ring! (as in the novel Dune.)
16Wash Post just reported – – McConnell told Republican senators he DOES NOT have the votes required to block witnesses.
17Rick@13. Something is afoot. Too early to tell whether Didi Feinstein is having a Susan Collins moment, or taking a play from Speaker Pelosi on how to bait IQ4.5 and Moscow Mitch. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/feinstein-leans-toward-acquitting-trump-as-his-defense-team-ends-impeachment-arguments/ar-BBZq1Q9?ocid=spartanntp
Meanwhile, Sheryl Sandberg, is proving women should rule the world by being the “exception to the rule.” https://crooksandliars.com/2020/01/whos-afraid-irs-not-facebook
18How come those gutless WH scribes didn’t all leave Pompeo to travel solo?
IIRC when because of a misunderstanding FOX NEWS was not on some white house press event junket, the entire press corp walked out. Turns out there was going to be a pooled media set up. Fox didn’t get the word. It happens.
19Sorry, can’t site the name, but some news group was invited to take MLKelly’s place on the press coverage…the one that printed that the impeachment was a “Jew Coup”
20Nana said at #20:
That was wingnut End Times pastor Rick Wiles.
21Ooooo, this is getting better and betterer! Pompeo loses his uncool. Moscow Mitch can’t herd his cats in order to stop witnesses. The Golden Gibbon fakes a peace accord. They just can’t cover up fast enough or good enough as all the sand castles start crumbling.
22Good grief; once get those stupid Tea Partiers installed and they get their foolishness everywhere. First El Mustachio was God’s Anointed, now he’s the Deep State. Pompeo was an obstructionist Tea Partier, now he’s Sec State; we need to get all these fools away from where they can continue to harm our country.
23I can sympathize. Several years ago, I was at a conference
with a lot of people way younger than me. The icebreaker
question was “Who was the first person or band you saw in live
concert?” My answer was Roy Rogers (Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo). Dead silence.
At any rate, Pompeo is joining Don Jr and Hawley in running for prez. They have to be bullies to win over the Trump voters. Going after the press is de rigueur and going after a woman is just icing on the cake.
