Washington (eTruePolitics) – “This is a perfect fit. I’m a clown at heart,” said the embattled Noem in making the surprise announcement that she was leaving DHS after only 188 days on the job to join Ringling.

“She’s a natural,” said Kenneth Feld, CEO of Feld Entertainment which runs Ringling. “We literally didn’t have to teach her anything. Personally, I’ve never seen a better prat fall.”

Noem defended herself stoutly. “I’m definitely not an incompetent, and you’re all scum” bristled Noem at “the fake media.”

It was unclear when Noem would begin her new job. “I’ve got a costume all picked out,” said Noem.

“Don’t even think about giggling at me, I know people,” Noem called out, ending her (poorly attended) press conference.
