If I were in that job I’d want to spend more time with anybody’s family.

Wait. I thought that was a joke. I saw him stealing stuff on the Onion. I assumed they were just making a joke since he was fired. Were they instead riffing on this, having him steal more stuff? :eek: 😃

Let him delete them, this is the internet, where NOTHING ever goes away. His quotes are already all over the place. He can’t find and delete all of them everywhere. 🆒

And, if someone happens to make one up, he’s in a far worse place to try and disprove it.

Not on the way out; about a month after starting, according to the article:

It could possibly also have a “non-compete” clause that would prohibit him from appearing on any other nationally televised comedy or horror shows.

I saw a photo of him on Politico’s front page. He looks like he’s got not a single worry in the world.

FWIW, I found it hard to dislike Spice. I always felt like he was among the more likeable people in the WH, but that he was sometimes forced to be a schmuck because he had this tyrant watching over his shoulders who was living in an alternate reality and he had to come out and talk to reporters in _real_ reality. Seems like the kinda guy you could sit down and have a beer with, have a few friendly disagreements with, and it’d all be good.

Kind of like Frank Nitti in the Untouchables show. He just shows up occasionally, and then someone disappears 😃

No one forced him to take the job. And he had no problem lying for a dirt bag boss.
