Former White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, known for her flare for fashion and party planning, has accepted a job with Johnson Publishing Co., the Chicago media company that publishes Ebony and Jet magazines.

Rogers, who left her White House job in February after a dustup over a security breach at President Barack Obama’s first state dinner, will serve as a consultant at the largest African-American publishing company in the U.S. helping with corporate strategy and revamping its two most popular magazines.

I tried to get financing for a new publication called “Ivory,” but even Wonder Bread passed on the sponsorship.

During the security scandal, I saw some of her e-mails. The woman is borderline illiterate.

Kind of reminds me when one of Bubba’s buds came up with a job for Monica to get her out of Dodge ....

I wonder if Ebony hires using a quota system?

Not a snowball’s chance.

“will serve as a consultant”.

Is this sorta like a “community organizer” where you get paid for doing pretty much nothing?

I should have said “paid off” for doing nothing.

They say she’s known for fashion and party planning.

But that dress of hers makes some of Mee-shell’s worst offerings look kinda good.

And Democrats accuse Republicans of having a good ole boys network.

The level of hypocritical projection on their part is just jaw-dropping.

After the dustup over the White House party crashers, media kept showing this dame in an outfit that looked for all the world like it was created from disposable diapers & rolls of 6” brown gauze that my veeterinarian uses on my horses over a bandage for a top wrap.

It was shapeless, stupid & it was referred to as ‘haute couture’.

I thought it was laughable & have not changed my mind.

If that is ‘fashin sense’ I am glad to wear my jeans here in Nevada.

Did you try naming it "Cracker"?
