SEAN SPICER SHOULD EXIT STAGE LEFT

     How much longer will it be before Sean Spicer tells Donald Trump to take the Press Secretary's job and shove it?

     The Trump spokesperson is nothing more than a robot with human hair.  The White House Press Corps gets little or no answers to their questions...except scripted remarks that have either been written by lawyers...or prepared by Trump and then handed to Spicer with the direct order to not respond to reporters with anything else.

     Why would Sean Spicer want to keep his job?  Unless he's a masochist who finds pleasure being pulled from either end by first-rate journalists who are doing their jobs with the utmost professionalism...I would think Spicer would turn in his government credentials and not suffer the turbulence that is eventually going to cause the Trump Administration to crash and burn.

     It has become Spicer's practice to be tight-lipped about anything "Russia."  And now...when reporters grill him about King Donald's Prince Jared...Spicer looks like something out of The Body Snatchers.  He has obviously been commanded to silence...which makes Spicer not only appear foolish, but labels him the President's patsy.

     My advice to Sean Spicer - not that he's asked me...which he hasn't - is to make like Snagglepuss...exit stage left...then run, not walk as fast as he can out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue...and to not look back.  After all...Spicer's days as White House Press Secretary are probably numbered anyway...and at some point - sooner rather than later - Trump is going to chew up Spicer - as he does with everybody who he fires (except for his Russian "spy buddy" Michael Flynn) and then spit him out like seeds from a watermelon.

     So be smart, Sean.  Take a hike.  And do so before the "big bear" in The West Wing woods goes wild again...and without you knowing it...attacks from behind.

     And that's The Controversy for today.

  1. Let me say that I believe that Sean Spicer will be let go before he tells President Trump to take this job “and shove it.” I don’t think he was the right person from the start. I had to laugh when you described the White House Press Corps as “first-rate journalists who are doing their jobs with the utmost professionalism”, most of them are leftwing partisan hacks with a hatred for the President of the United States and wouldn’t know professionalism if it hit them in the face. You claim to be a journalist but you are no better than the leftwing hacks at the White House. One day I hope the Democrats and the main stream media will stop their hatred and decide to work to help America and stop hurting it. All you and the left want to say is “Russia, Russia, Russia” you sound like Jan Brady “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia”. There has NOT been a single bit of proof given to any “collusion”, NONE! There is no there there. This is all being done by the Democrats to get back at him for beating their bad candidate and to stop his agenda to get America to be Greater than it has ever been! I never thought I would say this but I am starting to feel that many Democrats care less about America then they do about getting revenge for the 2016 election, many would rather see America go down the tubes then work with the President. They are true haters.

    1. As a journalist for more than 40 years - with my own Associated Press award, I modestly add - for you to compare me to the correspondents in The White House Press Corps...well...that is high praise, so I appreciate the compliment. Oh I know your words were not meant to put a smile on my face, but I recognize my professionalism and I certainly acknowledge the professionalism of the "first-rate journalists" in Washington, DC. All that being said, for you to label the Press as "leftwing partisan hacks with a hatred for the President" is laughable.

      You're going to be eating your words about Russia when Donald Trump is either impeached and removed from office or he resigns. Just as The Washington Post's Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were instrumental in bringing down a corrupt President in Richard Nixon, there are reporters today at The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Associated Press, NBC News and elsewhere who are digging up the dirt on Trump, Jared Kushner and others in the Trump Administration. And when "collusion" is definitively discovered and/or when charges of obstruction of justice are officially brought against Trump as a result of his conversations with FBI Director James Comey, with the Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and with the Director of the National Security Agency Michael Rogers, the House of Representatives will do their duty and impeach Trump. And the Senate will convict him and remove him from office. But with Trump's ego, he probably will not let it go that far. He'll throw in the towel and tell everyone to go to hell so he can return to Trump Tower. I suppose you never read three of my columns (which you can find in the archives in the above right-hand side of this site) which you will probably disagree with too. They are TRUMP MAY TOPPLE LIKE A HOUSE OF CARDS from April 1, 2017...OH DONALD...CAN YOU SAY, IMPEACHMENT? from May 19, 2017...and IN A PERFECT WORLD... from May 27, 2017.

      It amazes me that people like you and other Republicans will continue to use the election as the reason for Democrats to oppose Donald Trump. As I have written numerous times in the past, our criticism of Trump has NOTHING to do with Hillary Clinton not becoming President of the United States. It all has to do with Trump's performance (or the lack thereof), his attitude, his tweets and other embarrassing statements and because he is mentally unfit to be our head of state and Commander-In-Chief. I'm not trying to be funny or insulting, for that matter, but I am honestly being sincere. Donald Trump does not have the temperament or the sanity to be sitting behind The Oval Office desk. But I warned my readers nearly two years ago - long before many other journalists or many other non-press people made similar comments - that Trump should not be elected because he is a danger to our country. And my words are being proven today.

      Democrats - including those like me who are ultra-liberal progressive Democrats - care deeply about America. Our efforts against Trump are not "revenge for the 2016 election" in any way, shape, matter or form. If that was the case, then Democrats would have responded towards other Republican Presidents the same way...and we never did. We are not "haters." But your comments certainly show that you are.

    2. Your saying “laughable” proves my point, they are hacks and partisans, their lies and fake news has been proven time and time again. What do you know that the rest of the world doesn’t to make that I will be eating my words? There has been NO EVIDANCE showing any collusion because there wasn’t any, Russia did it on their own because they hate Clinton, not because they liked Trump or wanted to help him. There has been no obstruction, asking Comey to “I hope you can let this go,” is not obstruction, President Trump did not order him to do anything, if the comment was said at all, which is in doubt, the President might have been saying this is a man that gave 30 plus years to his country, he should not be ruined any more for making a mistake on a form or tell one fib. Hoping the Director of the FBI would have some compassion for the General. NO OBSTRUCTION just fake news. The reason the left and you can’t get over the 2016 election is that you never had a candidate that your party put on such a pedestal, say it was her time , it was her turn, she is our savior, you wanted the Queen to take her throne and it didn’t happen. Get over it, the better candidate won! Your final statement proves my point again, ultra-liberal progressiveness is bad for America, and anyone who supports that ideology is sporting something bad for America by doing so they can’t truly care about America. If the left truly cared about America we would have a travel ban, we would have Obama Care repealed and replaced with something that works for everyone not just those looking for a handout. We would have fair tax reform not the left saying steal from the so called rich and give handouts to their followers. Just to correct you I have no hate for anyone (maybe for a few like ISIS and those types). No hate for true Constitution loving Americans

    3. Your point has not been proven nor will it ever be. The "fake news" that you, Donald Trump and other Republicans want to believe is far from fake. It's very real. The press in our country is very rarely wrong - especially when talking about The Washington Post and The New York Times. When these two newspapers report news...they report facts. Just ask any of Richard Nixon's staff who went to prison after Watergate. Just ask Richard Nixon (or his ghost) who resigned the presidency because two reporters named Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein "followed the money" and dug up the dirt on Nixon. It's happening with Trump. Just wait until next week when former FBI Director James Comey testifies before Congress and spills the beans. That'll be just more icing on the cake. More and more of Trump's people - including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner - are being subpoenaed. If they lie under oath, they will go to jail. If they tell the truth, some of them will still end up going to jail. And if they take "the Fifth" then that's only going to make things worse. If you truly believe there was no collusion with ANY of Trump's people then I have a bridge to sell you. The question is - as it always has been - what does Trump know and when did he know it? The conversations Trump had with Comey, Coats and Rogers are going to drown Trump in to the sea of obstruction of justice...and possibly treason (for Trump and/or others). There's more from Comey coming and there'll be more from Coats and Rogers. Michael Flynn is going to end up in prison. Mark my words. The New York Times and The Washington Post has more dirt on Flynn than there ever was on Charlie Brown's friend, Pigpen. You need to get a grip on the whole election situation. You're a real hater. You have to be to say the things you say about Hillary Clinton. No Democrat ever thought she was "the Queen." As for your comments about me, you are simply an evil person. You continue to prove my point that you are a hater. You continue to prove my point that you are a sicko. Yes, I am an ultra-liberal progressive Democrat, which I believe is what's best for the United States of America. You're going to be so disappointed when Democrats re-take both the Senate and the House of Representatives following the 2018 mid-term election. And Democrats are moving forward with a good selection of candidates for President in 2020. Hillary may run again...or she may not. Joe Biden may run again...or he may not. But if not, there is Adam Schiff, Andrew Cuomo, Bernie Sanders again...or not, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and many, many others. I wrote late last year that Donald Trump will not run for a second term. That is if he even makes it through his first term. But he doesn't want any of this for 8 years. In any event, I can assure you that a Democrat will be in The White House on January 20th, 2021. And don't say Democrats thought that this year because Hillary would have won if James Comey didn't write the letter to Congress 11 days days before the election, which was against Justice Department regulations. And if Russia didn't interfere with the election. As for your other comments, there is no travel ban because it is unconstitutional and judge after judge has shot it down. There is no repeal of the Affordable Care Act because the Senate will never go with anything the House wants. As for taxes...America was built on the rich helping the poor. Oh I know people like you don't believe that or agree with that, but that's what our nation was built on. You can say all day long that you are not a hater, but your comments spell out H-A-T-E-R with every sentence you write. GBD
