Has she been disappeared? It’s not like her to be off tv for 24hrs. Maybe a house fell on her? Should we be concerned? Should we start looking for her body? Or a pod in the basement perhaps? ---

There never was a person by that name in the administration. Your lies are sad! No one ever said those things she didn’t say. ---

Ms. Kellyanne Conway is reportedly sidelined for being “off message”. [http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/22/media/kellyanne-conway-sidelined-from-tv/index.html](http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/22/media/kellyanne-conway-sidelined-from-tv/index.html) ---

I’d seen several articles that said she was constantly trying to book herself on news shows, and no one wanted to talk to her since all she did was lie. Last time I saw her, she looked positively beaten down. Dare I hope she’ll fade into obscurity? ---

Last time I saw her, she looked positively beaten down. Dare I hope she’ll fade into obscurity? Oh, I hope not. She’s so much fun. There has to be a term for this sort of second-hand egotism. We’ve seen it before, where some no-name flack just can’t stop talking about their boss (person or company) but it’s hard to tell from personal self-aggrandizement. ---

This whole paragraph is just dripping with ick: \<\<“I’ve been invited on shows every day, including two Sunday shows. I’m trying to focus on other pieces of my portfolio,” Conway said. She also said that Trump was his own best “communicator and connector,” and did not need her to be a constant presence on television. “None of us do it like he does,” she said. \>\> ---

Like in any authoritarian state, especially the communist ones, she has been sent down to a coal mine to learn humility and the power of the state. No worries, this will pass and she will once again regain her station, comrade. ---

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have made it public that she’s not welcome on _Morning Joe_ anymore, and one or more CNN hosts have supposedly told the White House that they’d prefer to have some other spokesperson – any other spokesperson – to talk with. She lost a lot of credibility as an official spokesperson when she continued to deny Trump had problems with Michael Flynn even as Sean Spencer was telling the opposite (and correct) story. Now there are reports that [the Administration has told her not to do interviews](http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-kellyanne-conway-pulled-off-air-20170222-story.html), at least temporarily. ---

I was going to be snarky about her makeup in the picture attached to the article above, until I saw those ears. Are those hooks for her to attach her fake skin to, in order to hide her lizard face? Those are some weird ears. ---

As that article says; “CNN reported that the decision to sideline Conway was made by “the president and his top advisers.” That is not very specific, but it seems notable that the move coincided with the hiring last week of a White House communications director, Mike Dubke.” I’d expect that she’s next out the door. ---

From the White House’s point of view, it’s not that she’s been lying, she’s been telling the wrong lies. ---

[Not a chance.](https://youtu.be/2pRt4dFBkCA) She is like that Terminator that just keeps reforming now matter how many times you shoot it. She would literally need to be plunged into molten steel to destroy her. She has a mission in life, and that mission is to deflect, divert, and pivot. Sure, she erred by “giving” MSNBC a “free commercial” (apparently not understanding how commercials, or indeed anything, works) but like a gopher she’ll just keep popping up again and again until reduced to component molecules, and even then she’ll probably reform into.a ghastly malevolent plasma to threaten some future interstellar mission. On the other hand, I just hope Sean Spicer can hang in there. That guy is fantastic. He’s like a kid who walked in to pledge a fraternity not realizing he was actually joining a Stan-worshiping group of Manson-sequel serial killers and is now desperately trying to explain why the bodies that the police just found in the basement are “not the victims you’re looking for.” I love his “Dressed by Men’s Warehouse” fashion sense, his jittery, where’s-my-next-piece-of-gum agitation, his clear discomfort in having to respond to questions that everyone knows there are no good answers to other than, “The President is a gibbering moron with no plan or coherent agenda,” and I’m hoping for Kiefer Sutherland to play him in the biopic once he gets a little more worn out, bloated, and desperate. His interactions with the press when they call him out on obvious lies is almost worth the price of admission. #LetHimMisspeak.
