Given that Ms. Newman made the maximum White House staffer salary of $179,700 a year, it’s clear that director of nothing is too important a position to go unfilled.
.. Ms. Newman was theoretically supposed to do African-American outreach. Without her there, no one will do nothing to reach out to black people, which is a huge loss for everyone who was dedicated to Ms. Newman’s particular style of ignoring African-Americans.
.. Ben Carson ignores black people, but he doesn’t do it with the same level of intrigue.
.. Even though Ms. Newman didn’t do anything during her time in the White House, it would still feel weird if she didn’t write a book about it.
