Not his own people? The Holocaust Centers?
Spicer, falsifier-in-chief, seems to utterly miss another point;
the ongoing outrage that a press secretary for an American president is an
ill-informed boor with such utter absence of integrity. He knows the president doesn't
tell the truth and that as press secretary he lies to cover for his boss, and
he doesn't care about it. Truth has no value for him. Evidenced by what he said in a talk
at Chicago University early this year, "I have never lied... because if
you lose the respect and trust of the press corps, you've got nothing. To go
out and tell an all-out lie is something that's just not acceptable."
He hasn't
changed much since his college days, where, as a student senator, he was called
Sean Sphincter by the student paper The
College Voice. He tried to instigate college legal action against them and sent
in a pompous, angry complaint, for which he was satirized by another student
paper Blats.
"Sean Spicer can talk and talk and talk, and after the dust settles and after the air is still, man mouths are quivering in awe and wonder at the way Sean can spin his yarn out for miles, without saying anything of consequence."
It's hard
to comprehend how he ever became a communications director for various political
bodies. Except of course that he's worked for Republicans, for whom the word communication doesn't mean imparting truth. He was the RNC
Communications Director for six years before working for the Trump
administration. You know a man by the friends he keeps.
It was
easy to be passionate about politics when the Obamas were in the White House. It
was frustrating and infuriating to watch the low-minded Republican Party with
its obstructionist tactics relied on principles that are their core were driven
by the need to protect the wealthy, white, conservative and often Christian
element in America. But at least the
President, First Lady, and members of the Administration were admirable in every respect. Classy, driven by integrity, brilliant, super-qualified, and
good at their jobs. The world was safe with its most powerful country in their hands. And the press secretaries were a pleasure to listen to.
But this
current Administration is inexperienced, boastful, utterly unqualified, mean-spirited and incompetent.
And too intellectually challenged even to realize how they reveal their own
stupidity every day. They can't formulate a single strategy among themselves.
There's infighting, back-stabbing, disloyalty, outright betrayals, and a steady
stream of lies and attacks on the foundations of democracy, taken straight
out of Vladimir Putin's playbook, and even Adolph Hitler's.
Not only
have they and their august leader made America a target of international scorn
and satire, but they've made the world significantly unsafe already, in 82
days. Yet another record for the Trump administration, which has broken so
many, all of them shameful.
Everybody
is talking about how exhausting it is to try and keep abreast of the disasters,
untruths, and missteps that have come to characterize the government. Americans
and people around the world implored each other never to let this become the
new normal and so far it hasn't. But it's sickening to read about and watch
this crew of heartless, soul-less, gutless wonders every day. CNN giving Sean Spicer airtime every day has become painful. One learns as much about the truth with the sound muted.
It's necessary to stay informed, but doing so taking its toll on everybody, from citizens to politicians to journalists and TV anchors and hosts. Passion in politics was easy when there were people of integrity in the White House who not only knew what they were doing but were also beautifully articulate.
It's turned into a dreary affair, having to watch and listen to a president, his administration and various staff who have all earned their place in this idiocracy.
