Anyone notice that Sarah Three Names

made sure she attended the state dinner in England before she left office?

She got paid to do nothing for months, then got paid to go to a fancy dinner with British royalty right before quitting.

Nice gig if you can get it, I guess.

Because she is from a Huckster family. The apple does not fall far from the tree.

can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear

Be unable to turn something ugly or inferior into something attractive or of value, as in No matter how expensive his clothes, he still looks sloppy—you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. This expression was already a proverb in the mid-1500s.

The Silk Purse (1)

In 1921, in order to obtain some favorable publicity for his fledgling company, Arthur Dehon Little, the founder of Arthur D. Little, Inc., of Cambridge, Mass., decided to challenge his chemists and engineers to create "silk" from pork byproducts. The idea behind this surprising and not very practical experiment was to prove that something said to be impossible was, with sufficient effort and ingenuity, attainable. The old adage that said, "you can't make a silk purse of a sow's ear" had been used for years to discourage inventiveness and enterprise. As Arthur himself stated, "We resolved...to prove that it was false, and we have done so. We have made a silk purse of a sow's ear."

The chemists' first step was to observe the production of silk by silkworms, analyzing both the process and the product. They found that the viscous liquid emitted from ducts in the worm's head turned to silk after contact with air and that it was chemically akin to glue. Following this lead, the lab purchased one hundred pounds of sows' ears (certified to be authentic by an affidavit from the supplier, Wilson & Company, meatpackers in Chicago) and reduced it to ten pounds of glue, which was turned to gelatin by adding small amounts of chrome alum and acetone. After much trial and error the chemists hit upon a means of producing fine strands by filtering the gelatin under pressure and forcing the substance through a perforated spinneret. The resulting brittle strands, softened by bathing in a glycerin solution, were dried, dyed, and woven into cloth of "the desired soft, silky feel." From this cloth two ten-inch long "silk" purses were cut and stitched in imitation of a medieval design, used for holding silver coins in one end, and gold in the other.

for the rest of her career, as will many who worked for Trump. It's worse for her than most, though. There is so much video of her lying it will haunt her everywhere she goes.

So you might be right.

I saw her sitting next to the Prince of Whales (tRump's spelling) at the dinner table. He looked as though he had no idea who she was. At least Iwanka and the "boys" were kept away from the royals. No photos with them allowed. Sarah looked as glowing as usual. Just like a Shack of Sit. Thankfully, her legs were concealed under the table. She stands with them apart. I don't know if that is to keep her balance, or inviting the p**sy grabber in chief to take a shot. So, back to Arkansas. Next stop - her own church?
