This may be out of line, but I gotta wonder

[matt819]

WTF is it with George Conway?

I get that it is possible to have friends who are to the right of center. When you get together you just don't talk politics.

Or it's possible to have friends who a evangelical Christians. Again, another topic to stay away from.

But when your wife is Kelly Ann Conway, and her job is senior sychophant, how can you go home at night without wretching?

I probably shouldn't care, and mods can lock/delete the post if they want. But, really, WTF?

1. I agree. It's sick. n/t

[stopdiggin]

2. can't get my head around it. I couldn't do it. nt

[Thekaspervote]

3. Why he doesn't ditch her is beyond the pale

[WhiteTara]

23. they are making money from both ends

never forget he is Federalist and Koch enthusiast. He's a traitor of a different stripe.

[True Dough]

4. Maybe they have great "make up sex" every night???

[PJMcK]

19. Eew! (n/t)

[True Dough]

20. Dogs do it. Lizards do it.

Even cockroaches do it.






And, yes, eew is certainly applicable!

5. That is sure hard to understand.

There are lots of democrat/republican marriages. I think Trump makes it a lot harder.

These two, however, take it to a whole new level.

A marriage takes respect. Where could anyone find any respect for Kellyanne Conway?

6. It's a Surkovian marriage.

Basically trying to make sense of it all is impossible, you don't know what the truth is, and you end up giving up in frustration.

My guess: His anti-Trump messages are meant as a counterbalance to Kellyanne's exaggerated pro-Trump pronouncements, so in the end, things get cancelled out and Kellyanne is spared the worst of the vitriol laid upon the other administration members.

I don't think it will work, but it is a gambit.

If nothing more, George does provide some good soundbites, even if I don't really trust him.

7. Valid question.

I don't see why it would get locked. It isn't about looks or some immutable characteristic of a marginalized person. It is about what she says and does.

Perhaps it says something about me, but I agree that I would not be able to have any kind of meaningful relationship with someone whose views are so different from mine, whose behavior that I found so abhorrent.

I mean, George Conway maybe dislikes Trump, but he still loves Republicanism and conservatism. His issue with Trump seems to be that Trump pulled the facade off of the ugly edifice that is conservatism.

8. Could be all a hoax

and they're trying to land future tv gigs ala Matlin and Carville. They likely laugh about it every night and think we all are suckers to believe their shit.

[BigmanPigman]

13. That is what I think too.

I can see them going around the book and talk show circuit for $$$$ if these awful times pass and we somehow survive.

[llmart]

22. That's exactly how I see it too.

It's all a game to them - a way to be in the spotlight and maybe eventually make some money out of it. I don't trust either one of them.

[Clash City Rocker]

9. Yeah. I could never understand how James Carville and Mary Matalin could stay married

And the political landscape was far less contentious then.

It’s possible that Kellyanne doesn’t really believe what she says, and when they get home, they just laugh at the idiot in the WH together. Or maybe they just have a rule of forgetting about politics when they’re together. I don’t know.

[JI7]

10. they are both right wingers. and she is doing performance art

and they both are in on it .

[MFM008]

17. Exactly

My feelings exactly.

[3catwoman3]

11. I wretch just looking at her on TV.

I would run screaming if I ever got close to her in person.

[Lars39]

12. They're setting themselves up to be the next Carville and Matalin

for future tv political gigs.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. retching.

Not wretching.

[cwydro]

15. "Senior sycophant."

I love this. That’s perfect.

I might have to steal that to use elsewhere!

[Vinca]

16. I was talking with my husband about that just a few minutes ago.

How on earth do they stay married? If my husband suddenly became a rabid Trumphumper, that would be the ball game for me. I don't get it.

[OnDoutside]

18. I think they're playing both sides of the fence.

[Ohiya]

21. There's no business like show business...

Remember Matlin and Carville.
