白宫幕僚长凯利, chief of staff, 是陆军四星上将,美国英雄,亲自送儿子上战场为国捐躯。虽说如此,如果是战争年代,一个将军,如果听任自己的下属在没有授权的情况下任意接触军事机密,恐怕就犯了玩忽职守的罪名,情节严重的,就该军事法庭见了。
很不幸,现在凯利将军就有这个嫌疑。原因是他的直接下级,white house staff secretary, Rob Porter, 今天因为暴打两任老婆的丑闻曝光,很不体面地辞职了。在媒体的追踪之下,真相才慢慢浮出水面,原来这位紧随总统鞍前马后,总统接触的高密级材料都要先睹为快的高级秘书,入职都快一年了,一直都没有完成背景调查,理由是FBI查到了Porter的家暴历史,不肯放行。
再说这个打老婆行为,好像也是川阵营的流行病。老川自个,曾被前妻状告婚内强奸(During a court deposition, Ivana Trump—Donald's first wife and mother to Eric, Donald Jr. and Ivanka—accused the president of raping her in 1989),不过后来老婆为了孩子的前程考虑,和解了;总统首席策士班农,也犯过domestic violence;再加上这个打了两个前妻一个前女友的Rob Porter;和刚刚辞职的总统撰稿人Sorensen(Second White House official departs amid abuse allegations, which he denies)。而且Porter前脚刚走,总统后脚就一大堆溢美之辞,你又如何让凯利对这位秘书拉下脸?
英语有句俗谚:你跟魔鬼跳舞,不会改变魔鬼,只会被魔鬼改变(When you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change. The devil changes you)。把这句话放在白宫,总统干的离谱的事太多,而凯利职责所在,不得不绞尽脑汁360度无死角地为老板洗地。长此以往,虱子多了也不觉咬,不痒可能还觉得不自在,慢慢的自个的思维方式也就川普化了。
这个效果,鲜明地体现在老川的两位女将身上,政治顾问Kellyanne Conway和新闻发炎人Sarah Sanders。这位凯莉燕,本来挺正常一右派,现在连川女川婿都对她的毫无底线而大感惊诧(ared and Ivanka, who, appalled at the shamelessness of her television appearances);而Sarah的新闻发布会,其强词夺理,已经让姜喻的“不要拿法律当挡箭牌”自愧弗如了。
和这两位忠诚女将形成鲜明对照的是,前发炎人,Sean Spicer,一位男性,就有点思前想后,思想不大坚定。据说,他拿到job offer后的第一个问题是,“简历上有这个我日后还能找着工作吗”?虽然是挺川不够决绝,但是倒也有点先见之明,因为他自从七月份被老川劝退之后,果然没有一家像样的媒体敢聘用他(Sean Spicer 'struggling to find a job on TV news stations' after White House tenure)。 而Sarah的副手,Rajo Shah, 一位年富力强冉冉升起的印度裔,居然在大庭广众之下表达了对川普的质疑(We all could have done better over the last few hours, the last few days, in dealing with this), 因为这个“We”显然也包括了总统。据说,川在电视上看到自己“被代表”后脸色铁青。这位Rajo Shah,估计日后是没什么前途了。
