The stentorian (fake) voiced Veep
seeking to reassure the public
(actually not) really seeks to
fawn over the Occupant like
an abused child sidles up
to the abuser. He regularly
uses the word “unprecedented,”
as in “He has shown un-
precedented leadership.”
What the Veep doesn’t say
is that this truly is a un-
precedented experience
brought to us by the Occupant
who has shown
unprecedented ignorance,
unprecedented arrogance,
unprecedented incompetence,
unprecedented hubris,
unprecedented narcissistic malevolence
unprecedented avarice,
unprecedented greed,
unprecedented selfishness,
unprecedented short attention span,
unprecedented mob mentality,
unprecedented cruelty,
unprecedented neurosis,
unprecedented psychosis,
unprecedented delusion,
unprecedented projection.
The bootlicking, bowing, brown-
nosing, cloying, cowering, crawling,
cringing, flattering, ingratiating,
kowtowing, mealy-mouthed, obsequious,
parasitic, scraping, servile, slavish,
sniveling, spineless, submissive, sub-
servient, sycophantic, toadyistic,
unctuous Veep got it right —
unprecedented.
