Women's convention misstep reminds me of something.

This spoke in the wheels they've done to themselves reminds me of the whole Komen Foundation fuck up. Rolling along, pink ribbons everywhere, everyone throwing money at them. Chose a team-member that displeased many a supporter. Steam gone, Komen who?

I am fully aware of the detail differences, no need to soapbox on that.

Oh yes, it also has a similar scent to Katie Couric's brilliant career move to Yahoo news and let's remember NBC's clever idea to bring Megyn Kelly into the picture.

Ah well, at least we'll always have that one shining moment~~the day after popular vote loser's tiny inauguration.

Ah, yes. Komen Foundation, wasn't it that Handel woman? She later ran for office. Wonder if she won? brush Oct 2017 #1
