A Christmas card or back hand? Dec. 25, 2012
The scanned generic Christmas card she posted from the neighboring
mayor surprised me.
It was the first political thing I’ve seen her post on her
personal Facebook account, suggesting maybe she’s finally taken her role as the
Virgin Mayor’s PR person seriously, and is trying to mend fences between the
two mayors.
It is even odder because the post is wedged between two or
three posts of her cat.
Although she could not resist making a snide remark, as if the
bridges she burned while working as a writer for us aren’t easily repaired.
But all this is like reading tea leaves, not knowing what
goes on among the brain trust who operates in the Virgin Mayor’s shadow, that
pack of political opportunists who are trying to gauge whether the Virgin Mayor
is really a Titanic, and when if at all, they should make for the life boats
before other people do.
It is hugely difficult to move from our side of the
editorial fence to the other side, serving one master rather than the general
public. But it may be even more difficult for her when she was never really on
the Virgin Mayor’s side at all, operating at times on his behalf while on our
side of the fence, but more so for RR, who is loyal to no one but himself.
How she makes anybody believe she is with the Virgin Mayor
when only a few months ago she plotted with RR to replace him, and now, she has
to make nice with the people RR used her to attack such as the neighboring
mayor.
She has unfortunately stepped into a realm where nobody is loyal
to anybody else, and the pack of wolves that operate behind the back of the
Virgin Mayor have their own agenda, and for her to survive among them, she has
to become one of them. If she doesn’t, she won’t survive.
Scary thought.
