I am still trying to figure out what the heck was trying to convey with the Trump as a “Unicorn riding a unicorn over a rainbow” description.
What job are you interviewing for, Sean, with this book? Trump’s valet? It has to be something directly for Trump (caddy, perhaps?) as this greatly diminishes your already greatly diminished credibility to work for just about anyone else.
Donnie really knows how to pick em. Way to Be Best, Seanie!
“Imagine if any one of us had illegally copied classified information and placed it on the computer of a sex offender,” he writes.
WTF is Spicey talking about?
If he’s talking about the copies found on Wiener’s laptop:
- The e-mails weren’t placed on the computer, Huma Abedeen used Wiener’s computer to access her work e-mail and Outlook downloaded that stuff into the machine.
- It’s been well-established that much of that material was classified after the fact.
- I’m pretty sure that Wiener was not a convicted sex offender at the time.
I guess all-in-all, Spicer was working for his perfect boss. Neither would know the truth if it clobbered them with a clue-by-four.

I couldn’t decode his nonsense, but you are probably right… (.his ignorance of IT is astonishing)
Apparently he likes lying, still angling for a job somewhere in Rightwing Media… I hope he ends up working on a used car lot in the mid-west…
“First time the Devil made me do it, second time I did it myself”
So I agree with this book greatly diminishes his already diminished credibility, so when Spicey was RNC spokesperson was he this sloppy? Would that count as his first bite of the Rightwing welfare system?
I think the unicorn metaphor dashed any chance of working in even the Rightwing Media.
Nix the midwest car lot (we don’t want him) - and put him on fast track to late night infomercials along side Kevin Trudeau.
Please tell me that Sasha Baron Cohen punked him!
“a book so riddled with lies that even Stephen Colbert couldn’t justify making it the butt of a chummy joke”
Nicely put!
Spicey worked for Foley? Is he auditioning for a job with Jordan?
Lol!
That makes me think of the original Trump Pence logo. http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/287920-new-trump-pence-logo-mocked-on-social-media-for-being .
Ms. Lafond,
You may wish to have a look at the writing quality in your immediate environment before criticizing another’s prose and proofreading. For example (there are many others):
“Imagine changing you’re internal combustion engine to an electric motor while driving cross country.” - Josh Marshall
“After the White House banned CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins from covering an event in the Rose Garden on Wednesday, journalists banned together in support of Collins, including Fox News, President Trump’s favorite network.” - Nicole Lafond
“And perhaps they’re most high profile and ardent supporter (and recipient of their cash) is Rudy Giuliani.” - Josh Marshall
Nicole Lafond’s piece was very well written. Thank you Nicole! And thank you all at TPM for your hands-down excellent reporting, analysis, and writing.
The contribution by notborneveryminute is a fine example of pompous-head-so-far-up-your-ass commentary that it is almost amusing.
How could we have missed this?
Awesome picture!

Are you seriously suggesting that the standards to which [easily serially edited, inter alia] electronic journalism is held would suffice for editing printed books? It is to laugh.

Banned for banded looks very much like an autocorrect error. Best avoided, but hardly the end of the world.
Must be hard looking down on all us mere humans from wherever it is your head resides.
the critics agree: the novel is about as disastrous as his White House lawn party casual-wear
But it’s not really a novel, though, is it? It’s at least being marketed as nonfiction, so “novel” isn’t the right word.
