In reply to The Real Edwige.
Well, the US has a president who conducts himself like a professional wrestling superstar “Hero” ostensibly vanquishing various domestic and foreign Heels.
So it isn’t exactly shocking that Trump would nominate Mike Huckabee, a fellow Ziocaine junkie, for the post of Ambassador to Israel.
But I had to smile when I first heard about this nomination, because during my low-quality Free TV viewing, I know Huckabee as a “Compensated Celebrity Endorser” for a sleep-aid product called Relaxium.
It’s one of those aggressively-marketed snake-oil nostrums, like “Omega XL”, pitched to credulous low-information dupes in the US.
Huckabee is a fitting spokesperson; he has a wooing avuncular manner that evidently charms gullible insomniacs as it once charmed voters.
Once I would’ve said that the lucrative “Compensated Celebrity Endorser” gig was the last resort for washed-up has-beens. But since the West is in dystopian free fall, it’s become an interim resort that doesn’t preclude a return to “serious” employment. 💊 💊 🤨
