gag reflex

this situation in which ric grenell was on a foreign-policy conference call but under a demand for silence is intensely disturbing and it is truly an emblematic moment, a time when reality actually seems intent on providing symbols like a fable, as if it were being directed by terrence malik. it might as well have been: get your fag ass back in the closet. surely this morning grenell can't be thinking of himself as a republican. after that, if these accounts have anything to do with what actually happened, no one ought to.
