Way to fuck it up

Maybe you should not have put your organization in the hands of a right-wing nutjob?

Two top executives at Susan G. Komen for the Cure have announced their resignation, amid reports that the breast cancer charity is struggling to raise money and repair its reputation after its decision to defund Planned Parenthood and subsequent reversal...

...
A Komen insider told HuffPost that "employee morale is in the toilet" since Komen leadership made the controversial decision to defund Planned Parenthood, one of the nation's most prominent women's health and family planning organizations. The move was led by anti-abortion executive Karen Handel, then Komen's senior vice president for public policy, who has since resigned.
"Brinker in complete meltdown," the source wrote to HuffPost. "People want her to resign but she won't."
Meanwhile, Karen Handel is making money hand over fist as her infamy has allowed her to cash in on the right-wing chicken circuit. Bulk-purchase from Regnery to follow and then another run for office. Nice job all around Komen.

All those nights spent plotting and planning and toasting victory in the top secret lair have been for naught.

The correct congratulation in this sphere is always - "Heckofajob!"

The siren call of money made one overlook that she was a Repuke. It takes a few lessons of this kind before one comes to the realization that they are not like normal human beings, concerned with the welfare of humanity, but self-centered opportunists only interested in pursuing their agenda of inflicting pain and suffering on as many people as possible. Frog, meet Scorpion.

Guess people have forgotten that Brinker was a diehard Bushie and therefore, by definition, she's an ideology-driven fuck-up.

Moreover, why are people at all shocked that she'd see her dead sister as a very comfortable meal ticket, and the foundation as a means of furthering the wingnut domination of the national discussion of women's issues and a comfortable sinecure for the right-wing insane.

Hey, she's a Repug. It's what they do.
