For twenty minutes every afternoon, down is up, paralysis is progress, enmity is harmony, stupid is smart, villain is victim, disgrace is honor, plutocracy is populism, and Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia (if anyone would summon the nerve to investigate her, which, you know, never, ever happens.)Sarah Sanders Huckabee's press briefings are breathtaking.
When her boss does something execrable, she validates it at greater length and with more passion than most paid sycophants would muster.
She's awful at this, but that makes her an excellent fit for an administration in which mediocrity, inadequate experience and nepotism run rampant. She's a bogus message.
