The Man Who Pretended Not to Notice
October 8, 2020 at 3:35 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


David Frum: “We saw a weird moment when a fly landed on Pence’s snow-white hair—and the vice president did not react at all. No doubt, it’s a conundrum, what to do in such a situation. If Pence had shooed the fly and the fly had refused to shoo, that would have been bad. So he did nothing. And that doing nothing somehow in one powerful visual moment concentrated everything.”

“It symbolized the whole Pence vice presidency, the determined, willful refusal to acknowledge the most blaring and glaring negative realities. Through all of the scandals and the crimes and the disasters of the past four years, Mike Pence was the man who pretended not to notice. And now there was a fly on his head, and he pretended not to notice that too.”

.... and maggots on his hair.

That must be a high priced thick toupee.

The white maggots should blend nicely and be nearly imperceptible in his snow white hair. As long as they don't crawl around too much.
