Pierce: My Wife Has a Good Theory on Who the White House Mole Is
My Wife Has a Good Theory on Who the White House Mole Is
The family is in agreement.

As every room in the White House echoes with the sound of cocks crowing, I am going to subcontract the job of guessing who the Anonymous Op-Ed writer is to my wife, Margaret Doris—journalist, contributor here at the shebeen, and someone wiser than I in the ways of such matters. She's been sure almost since the piece was published in The New York Times.
She points out that there is something unmistakably feminine in the tone, that it is written in the kind of English practiced in the realms of advertising and public relations, and that the ensuing guessing game has knocked both Bob Woodward's book and Brett Kavanaugh's nomination hearings off the top of the news, regardless of what it may be doing the the president*'s evaporating sanity. If, as I speculated on Wednesday, this is a vehicle on which you can ride away from the garbage fire that is this administration*, but you still want to hold onto your conservative Republican street cred, this is exactly the kind of thing you'd concoct.
She thinks it's Kellyanne Conway.
And now, so do I, and not just because we've had this prolonged pas de deus between Conway and her husband, George, who keeps heckling El Caudillo Del Mar-a-Lago on the electric Twitter machine. (George Conway retweeted the op-ed on Thursday, which would be perfect cover.) She's crafty enough to do it. She's been well-versed in the ways of slipping in the shiv since her days as Kellyanne Fitzpatrick during the Clinton years.
