Hullabaloo: Digby explains why I shouldn't get too excited over the possibility that John Kelly will be able to put a leash on the Pussydent (sic).
The simple reality is that Donny Turnip believes he wrote the fucking book on leadership. Remember that campaign speech when he said HE ALONE could do the things needed to Make America Great Again? I do.
Bottom line: In Turnip's world, John Kelly is a goddamned hired hand. And Turnip is never gonna be the guy who's taking directions from a hired hand, or being coached for success, or seeking the counsel of a wise mentor, or hoping to acquire effective management skills.
If I was betting, I'd bet that John Kelly will be in his new job until the first time Donny Turnip sees someone on Fox News declaring that Kelly is bringing much-needed order and discipline to Donny's White House.
Tony the Mooch was doomed because in less than a week, he claimed the media spotlight for himself by being more outrageous than Donny. In this administration, which is comparable to a lousy daytime TV reality show, there can only be one star, and that star will always be Donny Two Scoops.
