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.
