I always figured John Goodman, now that Philip Seymour Hoffman is no longer with us.
My guess is somewhere near the short end. Maybe more than 30 days, since he had absolutely no excuse for his failure to comply. Still, first offense and non-violent. 45 to 60 days would be most likely. I’d love it to be longer.
BTW, I was listening to Sean Hannity today (I know) and he was praising Bannon for “sticking to his principles” and being ready to suffer the consequences. Apparently, that’s a very honorable thing to do. I could not, for the life of me, figure out what principles are honored by refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena. Hannity never said, I guess it’s obvious in right wing world.
John Goodman may look like he’s in need of a diet, but he doesn’t have that distinctive Bannon look that suggests a circling swarm of flies and a desperate need of a bath and a shave – but mostly a bath. I think the ideal person to play Bannon would be a homeless bum enticed off the street with the offer of a hamburger. Acting ability wouldn’t matter – he would just have to recite fascist bumper-sticker slogans while swatting at the flies, which, filmed from the right angle, would look like artfully emphatic gesticulating.
Thank you. I was grappling with how to make this point, and here you did it, in one illustrative sentence.
Listening to Bannon on The Lincoln Project, asking myself “why is this voice so familiar? Sam Kinison.
Hey, the corpse of Philip Seymour Hoffman would work just as well.

And be less aromatic.
It seems that since the slimy fuck is going to appeal his conviction, he’s going to run free well into next year.
How does that work? Don’t prisoners normally work on their appeals from, you know, prison?
Lots of Cook County Jail inmates do just that. Some for years. But they’re not… you know… how to say, Bannon.
And another thing…
This guy dresses like he forgot that he got dressed already.
“Did I put a shirt on? Beter put a shirt on to make sure. Pen? Did I bring my pen? Better make sure.”
If you’ve ever seen Men In Black, he’s essentially Vincent D’Onofrio’s character (a giant alien cockroach wearing a human skin). He doesn’t know how a human acts or dresses but he’s trying to fit in, and he just looks off, because his skin suit is almost but not quite convincing.
And slowly decaying, if you remember Edgar-bug at the beginning of his arc and what he looked like by the end.
D’onofrio, I’ve heard, is kind of an a-hole IRL, but he’s a wonderful actor. His Edgar-bug was a tour de force. He was even very good – in a blond wig! – in Adventures in Babysitting.
Haha, I haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid and it came out in theaters. I had no idea he was “Thor”.
He does bury himself in a character!
Damn, that was funny.
And he showers like he thinks he already showered.
