Master marketer. That is: I, I, I with a capital I! Try this exercise... For weeks your boss kisses the ass of the anointed new Speaker of the House only to get zip-point-nada in the climbing-up-the-elbow-rubbing, ass-licking ladder. The goal of course is to be appointed a paid chair- or vice chairmanship position. This as opposed to un-paid vice-chair positions which are passed out as generously as water so that Representatives can have something to boast about to their constituents. Well needless to say the boss did not get a paid chairmanship position and only maintains his un-paid vice-chairmanship position he shares with seven others on committee X.
As Howie Carr so eloquently put it, "..the talent pool is so shallow it would be difficult to give a flea a foot bath..." Ouch. And this means that the boss, who has been around a number of years now, would seem to be considered so low in the talent pool as to make the others look like Rhodes scholars given that they were picked and he was not. Or, he just doesn't know how to play politics i.e. back-stab and fuck your way up to the top. OK so how to write a positive press release....Thinking, thinking: Lightbulb. She writes it. He sounds like an aria (that wasn't), and I have done my job and am a sullen whore.
