Is Kellyanne's book worth reading?

I'll confess, for all that I despise KellyAnne sometimes for lots of things, I also admire her for her intelligence and appreciate the fact that she's good at standing on her feet and advocating for her client in the most difficult circumstances.

And I've also wondered about her relationship with her husband, who I also can identify with and respect and wondered how this marriage could possibly survive, after she chose one path and a "work husband" while George seemed to focus increasingly on attacking, if not get choices, the man she chose to support.

I honestly haven't bought her book yet, and don't know if I will, but I'll be damned if I don't think that KellyAnne and George don't seem like the most poignant example of the human drama surrounding this whole Trumpism thing.

My guess is, I'll wait for the movies, but if her book goes on sale on Kindle, I might not wait, and the same would go if George might decide to cash in.

This, it seems to me, is a potentially really significant story about two intelligent human beings and their relationship, caught between their own ambitions and moral values.

...you admire someone who is willing to lie for money no matter how obvious or absurd the lie?
Since when is dishonesty for profit an admirable quality?
Is this one of those "alternative facts" i've heard so much about?

I guess i don't respect someone just on the basis that they have a skill but rather how they use that skill.

I think there's a difference between recognizing that someone is good at something and respecting them for doing it.
I mean, Ted Bundy was really skilled at charming his victims. Manson was incredibly skilled at getting people to murder for him.
Do we give the devil his due there or do we just say fuck that guy for doing what he did?

Now of course Conway hasn't used her skills to murder anyone but the point is that just being good at something is not in itself worthy of respect, in my opinion.
