The Grifting Never Stops

A few years ago, Deb and I were doing some regular Sunday morning lounging. Some bagels. Some shmear. Some of that good Nova lox. and a thorough reading of the Sunday NY Times. 

Then the phone rang, the landline phone because we're kind of old school. It was my friend Jeff Gelberg, a talented writer of his own blog: https://rotationandbalance.blogspot.com He and his wife Vicki had two extra tickets to a speech being given by Pete Souza, former White House Photographer for President Obama.

The speech was to be held at nearby Culver City Middle School. We had no plans. And Deb loved Pete Souza and his photos. It was quite the speech that included humor, grace, integrity and humanity. All the characteristics missing from the next regime (45).

Speaking of that evil UnAmerican regime, it was reported that ex Precedent Shitgibbon's photographer, Shealah Craighead, had planned on releasing her own collection of presidential photos as a coffee table book. This, apparently is standard operating procedure for White House photographers. A reward for all the grueling hours and the 24/7 on call status she maintained for four miserable years.

Except there's never anything normal about former Captain Ouchie Foot, who demanded to wet his beak from the proceeds in return for writing a forward to the book. As if he could string together 3-4 cogent sentences.

But that wasn't good enough for President Dickhead who went ahead and cut Ms. Craighead off at the pass by having his toadies collect the "best" photos in advance and have his taintlickers put together his own coffee table book, pre-empting her by months and absconding off with $230 million off someone else's labor.

Why would a multi-billionaire do such a thing? 

And now, it's being reported that Colonel Douchebiscuit was never really happy with her performance. So now he's going to smear her reputation in advance of a possible lawsuit on her part.

WHAT A COLOSSAL FUCKKNUCKLE!!!

But this is not a problem without a delightfully delicious solution, suggested by former GOP-hack Nicole Wallace.

You see in addition to all the "good" photos, Ms. Craighead also owns all the bad ones, which in my mind would make for a much more compelling book. 

To wit:

I'd even offer to  write the captions for a book like this. If I went through my files, I suspect I'd find many are already pre-written.
