Justice Delayed?
or the whiff of ratz leaving a sinking ship?
White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers told me [Lynn Sweet] Friday she will step down next month…
“As we turn the corner on the first year,” Rogers told me, “this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world."
“Explore opportunities” Read: “I got nuttin’. No offers. No ideas. Nuttin’.”
Rogers told me it has been “an honor and a privilege to serve this president and First Lady, in what has certainly been a historic presidency."
“what has certainly been a historic presidency” Interesting choice of words…
"When I took on this assignment, we talked about the importance of creating the people’s house. My work was really to create this framework,” she told me.
“I think I completed that work. Our office has been able to lay the foundation for what will be known as the ‘people’s house’ and it has already taken shape."
Well, you could say that. Any people, any time, any ol’ which way just wander on in. Unless yer a Conservative.
“... what will be known as the ‘people’s house’...
She’s using “people’s” in the same sense as the North Koreans, when they call their ratty little country “The People’s Democratic Republic of North Korea”.
“I think I completed that work.” As in, “my work here is done...”?
She’s not going to be going anywhere near the unemployment office:
“Roger’s previous year’s income, in a 2009 report, was a $350,000 salary from Allstate Financial, as well as $150,000 in board fees from Equity Residential, a real estate investment trust in which she also held at least $250,000 in stock. She also collected $20,000 in board fees from Blue Cross. Other assets reported in her checking account, stock investments, and mutual funds totaled at least $2 million.”
But it looks like this is the real power in the universe:
Sally Quinn: Off with her head!
“SALLY QUINN: I think that the—what happened at the White House was as big a security breach as the Christmas-Day bomber situation. ... And the president could well have been assassinated if one of these three people had had explosives in his or her underwear.”
It boggles the mond.
