What's her name is out of a job

Never heard of her, but if this is her level, I'm not surprised. I mean, how much of this incredible talent for wordsmithery is needed? How many writers are needed to photocopy the praises of the president-elect? She thinks Obama is extraordinary and Bush is a knucklehead. And what will she and the other unemployed or underemployed writers say in two weeks or next year?
    With only 15 days to go until the inauguration of our president-elect, to this day, I cannot for the life of me even begin to imagine why on earth this brilliant, extraordinary man wants the job but am impossibly thrilled that he does (provided there is anything left to govern after W. is finished. The news from all over seems to get a little bit worse every day and he seems to get a little more absent.) Heckuva job. The Gaza is imploding. Iraq is forgotten. The rich feel poor and the poor are actually poorer. And, as if that all weren't enough, now Ann Coulter is back. And Laura Bush is about to be paid $8 million from Scribner's for a memoir? Married to a knucklehead for 31 years, her steep reward will now be roughly $258,000. for each year?
