C-SPAN puts the Presidential Mullet ahead of loyal callers and threatens the very foundation of democracy.
Mrs. Grundy is aghast that even the C-SPAN television network will succumb to powerful pressure in these last days.
To wit, she was among hundreds, if not thousands of callers waiting to offer insightful opinions on the Washington Journal Primetime debut on November 9. All were waiting patiently for their proper turn when the Presidential Mullet called in.
As if by command, and in violation of all democratic principles America holds dear, the C-SPAN host put him in front of the line and immediately on air. Mrs. Grundy imagines they will send him a free tote bag, too.
Grateful readers will recall Mrs. Grundy’s mic-drop performance (see I am Paying for this Microphone), when she enlightened and edified an awestruck C-SPAN audience on the arduous, yet joyful, quest for a virtuous life. Yet, the philistine host scolded her efforts and cut-off her line. Rather cheeky, she thought.
As she waited on hold, again, this recent night, Mrs. Grundy decided she must strengthen her hand in C-SPAN’s cozy game of favoritism. Not because she is Mrs. Grundy, although some might say that is sufficient, but as a founding member of the Mythical Moralists Trade Association, legends who speak for virtue through the ages. Indeed.
