My skin crawled as I listened to the State of the Magic
Kingdom speech detailing an America of only superlatives, with all the devils
identified for eradication. The research
for the speech must have been done by the staff of Melania’s BE BEST program. In
fact, Melania was a nice sideshow.
The President drew unctuous applause from an audience of
Republican jack-in-the-boxes, who did many knee bends that night. He used
nearly every possible cliché, with an all-American crescendo including Davey
Crockett, Wyatt Earp and the Alamo. And he was consummate in plucking the
nation’s heart strings with his selection of galley mini-dramas.
Yes, my skin was crawling.
