I have no opinion one way or another about Kellyanne Conway’s appearance. This is not about her “looks.”
This is about someone who looks like hell these days. She looks gaunt and exhausted; her right eye droops sometimes; she has dark circles under her eyes.
If she were someone other than Kellyanne Conway, I might feel sorry for her. But she IS Kellyanne Conway, longtime right-wing political operative who has worked for some scummy people and causes and now works for the scummiest person in politics. She chooses, day after day, to defend the indefensible. She lies. She is a dyed-in-the wool Hillary-hater (no offense to my wonderful sheep).
Over these past few months, she has been presented on cable television as the sweetest and smartest political operative that has ever existed. All the while, I’ve been thinking how anyone who defends a racist, bigoted pervert on a daily basis can’t be all that sweet. How many times, though, have I heard, “I really like Kellyanne, but...” “She’s really a great person, but...”
But...
Kellyanne, the hatred, vitriol and dishonesty are leaking out of your insides and ending up on the outside. As Maya Angelou said, and Hillary often quotes, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Believe it.
