No matter what topics he chooses to talk on, the audience will always shift it to “what’s it like working for a lunatic?”
This is a total vindication of anyone who ever sought attention and to create a buzz about him- or herself without spending much time along the way trying to actually accomplish anything. Candor? Experience? Please. His name is recognized and he was mocked on SNL. And he’ll make some nice bank off that. Case closed–buzz matters and people are stupid.
“…well known candor…” So it’s a comedy act?
I can understand the powers that be need to slip Spicer a paycheck. If he flounders it makes the whole log-rolling network look unreliable, which is bad for business.
But will people be compelled to stay, listen to his entire speech, applaud politely, ask fawning questions, prop up his faltering ego? Who do you have to fuck to get out of that?
“Life is SO UNFAIR!!!”
Yes. The only way I’d listen is if he brings Melissa McCarthy with him.
But that’s the thing about “elites”. They always fall upward while lecturing the rest of us to work harder.
Sean Who?
Sean Spicer will be the opening act for a cadaver…
Speech #1- Your CEO just ate a baby. What do you do?
I have the feeling that the Wingnut Welfare Network is taking care of Spicer in order to keep him quiet. Anyone has an idea if the Mercers have any relationship with “Worldwide Speakers Group” or with Rodman and Renshaw bank?
What would be the topic of his speeches? How not to tell the truth?
Will he be speaking from behind a bush?
From the original Politco article:
“Audiences around the world will benefit from the same candor, wit and insight that Spicer brought to the White House briefing room,”
Errr, “Wit”? “Candor”? Those words, they don’t mean what you think they do (or perhaps worse, maybe they do…)
Sean had better get some better gigs than Rodman and Renshaw, a small bore outfit, in-and-out of deep financial trouble over the years. Hilarious to see it referred to as a bank. That’s like saying I’m a pharmaseutical giant because I take a couple prescriptions.
I suppose he could offer lessons in how to mangle the English language.
For the kind of money these speaker clowns get I’d insist on the bunny suit too.
well-known candor and extensive experience
This disgusts me on so many levels. A man who has worked in communications and PR his whole life does the following as the Press Secretary for the United States of America:
a) during the Jewish holy week;
b) brings up Hitler without being asked about it;
c) says Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons;
d) then clarifies that Hitler didn’t use them on his own people (implying, even though I’m sure Spicer didn’t mean to, that German Jews somehow didn’t count. The US Holocaust memorial site says the Nazi’s killed over 160,000 German Jews: https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005469)
e) Then made another clarifying statement that was inadequate;
f) and another clarifying statement before apologizing on air to Wolf Blitzer (who is German born and his parents were Auschwitz refugees)
Candor: the quality of being open and honest in expression; frankness
This man was given lies to read to the American public that he knew were lies, but repeated anyway. He did this on literally dozens of occasions over his short tenure.
The only person on the planet worse at their job is Donald Trump.
As exhibit #1 on the “well known candor” thing. Trumps inaugural was had the largest attendance of any previous inauguration. Candidly he is a lying sack of rat dung.
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer will continue his career in front of (sic, behind) the podium, but on a different stage.
Perhaps if SNL rented him the motorized podium it would make for a more entertaining presentation of his “candor and extensive experience.”
