Wait, isn’t that Kristi Noem? No, too young; it has to be Pam Bondi, right? No? It can’t be Kimberly Guilfoyle, she’s a brunette. I’ve got it: that’s Katie Zacharia! No?
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sick of this pattern. The Biden administration may have put a lot of incompetent, unqualified women in various positions based on DEI bias, but hiring women because somebody thinks they are hot and have sexy hair is just as unethical, and arguably even worse.
“MAGA Barbie” is a derisive moniker these days used to describe Indiana Fever WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham, but she’s actually very good at her job (playing women’s pro basketball) as well as her avocation (calling out the racist, anti-white lesbian thugs in her league and reminding the public that biological males have no right to play women’s sports). I think it would be wise to apply expand the employment of the term to professional bimbos like former ESPN reporter and Fox News personality Britt McHenry, who was just fired as a US State Department press adviser.
How hard is it to behave in a dignified, professional fashion when you know you represent the United States and also know that everyone has a camera at the ready to record your behavior in public? Too hard, I guess, for people like McHenry—you know, morons.
McHenry, 40, was hired as the Trump State Department press adviser covering Europe and Africa. Despite the fact that she also was responsible for handling press for Kimberly Guilfoyle’s text message scandal (Heluva job, there, Britt!), she was promoted three days ago to a new job managing External Affairs & Press for Under Secretary Jacob Helberg’s team. Then she did this, according to the New York Post:
I saw that one and came this close to using it…
In the fall of 1969, I saw a poster on the bulletin board in my college’s campus post office announcing the appearance of the then washed up former Canadian Shakespearean actor and former science fiction tv show star at a local county fair in upstate New York. I’m guessing that was the nadir of Bill Shatner’s career which has had more lives than a cat.

Wow if I ever behaved that way to anybody my Mother would have wagged a finger in my face so emphatically, sent me to my room forever, and had me going to confession several times over. What a horrible woman.
Disgraceful, just as bad as the arrogant black women with those voices that go right through you. I had the cops throw someone out of my office once for throwing insults and threats like that. Service employees are required to provide service, not be a target for that kind of abuse for abuse’s sake.
I believe it was Tom Wolf who described them as the “Flak-Catchers” in the book “Radical Chic and Mau-mauing the Flak-Catchers”.
Women or men being appointed purely based on their ability to be voted homecoming royalty has always been a pet peeve of mine. Too many people are advanced in their career paths based entirely on appearance and the social deference shown to the pretty.
Trump clearly has a type and he needs to rein it in pronto.
This is just one more reason women with an average appearance are not fans. And I totally get it.
I don’t know how the hiring process is but why would the President or his immediate staff be involved in vetting this woman? At most, this would be on Rubio , and I am not sure he would be personally be involved in the hiring process except to be introduced to the new hire.
Doesn’t matter. It’s Trump’s administration, and Trump’s culture, as well as Trump’s biases being employed in staffing: Fox News, long blond hair. Fish heads…
