Sometimes, a person enters the public spotlight and is such an embodiment of an established stereotype that it seems impossible for him or her to be a real person. If Tom Wolfe wanted to capture the essence of arrogant, alienated progressivism, he would reject NPR’s new CEO, Katherine Maher, as too unbelievably on point.
...
t would be impossible to create a resume of a person more disconnected from Americans and more intertwined with the wealthy, urban, globalist elite who run the largest banks, media companies, and nonprofit groups in the United States. In other words, Maher has the perfect resume to run NPR.
And her tweets prove she is the perfect person for the job.
She’s a vegetarian. She hates cars. And white men flying on planes. She supports race-based reparations, rioting, and the Black Lives Matter movement. She believes “America is addicted to white supremacy.”
She doesn’t want to become a mother because “the planet is literally burning.” She uses phrases such as “CIS white mobility privilege” unironically. She admits to growing up “feeling superior … because I was from New England and my part of the country didn’t have slaves.” I wonder what fuels her sense of superiority now.
As completely out of touch as Maher’s views are with the rest of America, the scary part is how willing she is to use her ample power to snuff out dissenting voices.

But more pleasant than a Stacy Abraham type.
Her mother’s maiden name was Catherine Cecelia Queenie. Catherine Cecelia is VERY Catholic sounding. Her father was a Goldman Sachs Executive.
This one was not just from New England, but from WILTON. In its own way, Wilton, and its surrounding area is snobbier than Greenwich. Folks from Wilton want to be away from the riff-raff. When she was raised, her town of Wilton was DRY. NOT because they were old school Baptists, but because it made it easier to keep things out. (You could still have your single malt scotch at home, you just couldn’t drink in public or pick up a six-pack at the gas station.)
Very possibly one of those “progressive” catholics, with “womenpriests” and no kneelers.
can’t disagree, but still an edge case, if less of one.
Pretty? She looks like a woman in the first year of a Meth addiction

I was just thinking that the other day. They need to end it completely. Start over with a mandate to be apolitical. Or, require a balance of political voice equal to voting patterns.
“DEFUND NPR....”

This would be a good place to start defunding wasteful, corrupt and weaponized liberal programs, but the gutless GOP will never do it.
She is a sociopath. At best.
"smart" and "liberal" should NEVER be used together.
There’s no asshole like a Boston asshole.
“the planet is literally burning.”
An illegitimate child of Katie Porter?
Those who have rejected the Truth are in worse shape than those who never knew it.
Smart? Prove it.
Pretty? That’s debatable.
Accomplished? At what?
Public speaker? Adolph Hitler was a fantastic public speaker. Really got the crowds fired up.
Hopelessly liberal? Try committed communist.
Oh, yeah ... that green dress in the last pic looked much better on Jenny Agutter in “Logan’s Run”.
Pookie’s Toons today includes a photo of her wearing a Biden baseball cap and a face mask (posted by EndWokeness).
NPR is publicly funded enemy propaganda.
Maybe we should start some kind of a campaign to get Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to look into her genealogy.
Check out the demographics of Wilton:

0.6% black
New England knows how to do racism for real.
