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.
