She was a trooper for keep up with that greasy slim ball.
An impressive resume for GOP right wing nuttery, not so much for international energy and climate adviser, i.e. a perfect fit in the Trump administration.
Ladies and gennelmin, I present to you the future white house chief of staff.
Those desk beaurocrats don’t have much stamina.
Well if he runs counter clockwise and fast enough he’s got to reverse time then maybe coal will be in once again.
If only she’d thought to wear her Exxon t-shirt or a Don Blankenship for Senate cap.
Wow! Look at him go.
These guys really need a fitness program if they intend to run away from the press like that. This was the most awkward thing I have seen in quite a while.
Kudos also to the 2 (3?) cameramen, one who anticipated and sprinted up some stairs to get a full shot of Griffith coming up the stairs as fast as he could. Athletes all.
Why didn’t he just answer a couple of questions? He is representing the United States of America at an International Climate Conference, for chrissake.
“What is this Climate of which you speak? I have no knowledge of this.”
Loves me some Amy Goodman.
I guess that his trim figure allowed him to keep up that pace. And the grease allowed him to slip away from her.
He won’t be able to run away from the Congressional subpoenas coming his way.
Quoth Steve Bannon about moron being in no rush to find a new chief of staff.
“The Democrats are about to unload a relentless investigatory apparatus on this White House, the likes of which this town has never seen,” he said. “This is not the 26th floor and this is not the Trump Organization. You need discipline, grit, close order drill — in short, an experienced taskmaster who knows Capitol Hill.”
Ah…something lik that.
Why are Democrats, Liberals and Progressives prohibited from employing Trump’s tactics of dealing with ne’er-do-wells? Have them “taken out of a stretcher” (like dissenters at a Trump rally). It’s okay for Trump to incite violence, but if a scum bag like Wells Griffith is decked by a heavy right hook from a patriotic liberal, why isn’t that okay? A good old-fashioned country ass-whippin’ goes a long way in reminding pukes like Giffith that there’s a price to pay for being a destructive putz.
Sniff, it’d make me happy to see, but alas, we don’t do that sort of thing. We’re too respectful of other peoples. Although, if it were McConnell, well, I dunno. I do like GOT though.
All of Goodman’s questions went unanswered as the pair walked, jogged and eventually ran together toward the U.S. delegation’s office. Once there, a staffer held out a business card for Goodman but then yanked it away
Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
GOP Shill: “This is harassment”
Amy Goodman: “Can you explain why you won’t answer any questions?”
GOP Shill: “Well, I’m a clown with positions that are simultaneously absurd and deadly, so answering any questions in my official capacity as head of the GOP/fossil fuel industry delegation to this summit would be tremendously embarrassing for my owners. Indeed, this endless sprint for safety I’m making is far less clownish than anything I might say on the subject of climate change and will bring less ridicule than answering your questions. I’d love to just pass you off to the US delegation and let them deal with you, but they didn’t send one.”
