Disgruntled staffer
But, of the Times’ parade of shutdown horribles, my personal favorite was the tragicomedy at the Voice of America. Kari Lake has been heroically trying to broom the entrenched lefties haunting that compromised “independent” agency. Right after she finally pink-slipped the VoA’s purple-haired crew, two days ago, a federal judge swooped in and ordered 532 of them to be rehired.
Jubilant, they rushed back, plunking their Fauci bobbleheads and Che mugs back onto desks they’d only just packed up a few days before.
And then —boom— came the shutdown. All 532 were immediately furloughed. The latte foam hearts from the department’s fancy cappuccino machine lasted longer than their triumphant reinstatements did. Every single VoA broadcast fizzled out, silenced not by Lake, but by the budgetary axe the Democrats handed her.
Old-school sitcom writers couldn’t script it any better unless they added a mariachi soundtrack.
I'm old enough to remember this saying:
“Radio Free Europe costs less than one bomber and does more to win the Cold War.”
