I’m bettin’ that of all of Trump’s people, Spicer comes out in the best light. He’s got a sense of humor – even a charm – and he got out early. He did the President’s dirty work, but at the same time, just a little part of him straddled the fence of being Trump’s guy while recognizing the lunacy of it all. And who’s not going to want read his book? ---

And it’s been just six months to the date of the most bizarre presidential press conferences ever where Spicer ranted about the inauguration crowds and refused to answer questions from the media. ---

Spicey had an impossible job, explaining the unexplainable for a boss who undercut him at every opportunity, and did it just about as badly as could be expected. I _almost_ feel sorry for him. ---

Maybe Spicer can go on SNL and play himself, now. It seems the Fox “News” takeover of the White House is now nearly complete. ---

Loyalty, like virtue, is its own reward. Or at any rate, its as much as your likely to get. ---

Have McCartney start off and then have Spicer come in and say “Excuse me. I got this.” (or something I’m not a comedy writer). Oh man that would be great. ---

Spicer will go on TV to pledge fealty to the man who destroyed his reputation. He’s not gonna do a tell-all book, appear on SNL, etc. ---

> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > Will any lesson be learned by other Republicans that your loyalty will not be rewarded? Not until Inauguration Day. LOL Sanders is reading a statement right now paying tribute to Spicer, how Trump appreciates his service and Spicey got, and I quote, '“great ratings.” You can’t make this stuff up.
