I regret Spicey leaving only because it means we're left with ShuckS, who is a lot less fun.

GOOCHY posted:Spicer is not the put upon, good guy that some of you folks wish he is. Just because he got ran roughshod by Donald Trump on a daily basis doesn't mean that he's a sympathetic character in all of this. I'm sure someone is going to me about this, but a lot of people really like to create a head canon about public figures in which they can't be so bad after all once you get to know them. Instead of seeing Spicer as a groveling piece of poo poo who sold his soul for scraps at the table, people start to view him as a sympathetic punching bag who's trying his best in a world of insanity.

Also I don't think this administration has the wherewithal or competency to ensure its employees sign NDAs or other things like that

If there's one thing you can count on, it's that Spicer signed a loving airtight NDA.

Also there are a number of people in politics and the media who say Spicer used to be someone respectable and reasonable. Used to being the key part. I think a lot of political junkies see him as more weak than conniving.

Let us not forget:Spice posted:"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in-person and around the globe"

So we can expect "I resigned because of endless hounding by the fake news media" and not "I resigned because my boss is a tremendous manbaby who has been trying to shove me out for months anyway"

I don't think anyone believes he is, it's just a funny joke to picture him as a Charlie Brown figure after all of his big flubs and his retreat into the bushes. Every time he got up to the podium, it was like that scene in the West Wing when Josh gives the press briefing.

Anyone want to venture a guess as to which snark comment Sanders says to start the press conference?

Yeah, MSNBC probably got to him first

Drone posted:So we can expect "I resigned because of endless hounding by the fake news media" and not "I resigned because my boss is a tremendous manbaby who has been trying to shove me out for months anyway" If I'm understanding correctly Trump didn't actually want him to resign, right? He wanted him to keep having to do the work while the new guy got the glory? If that's the case then I expect Trump to say mean things about him pretty soon.

This sounds like a great turn of direction.. for those who enjoy seeing total debacles which this will be. The only way it could be better is if they let him brief the press.

Every time he got up to the podium, it was like that scene in the West Wing when Josh gives the press briefing. I don't think this is SNL's problem to solve, but I do kind of think that turning someone into a beloved character on that show softens them a bit. Nobody's going to suddenly think he's good at his job because he's ridiculed of course, but I think ridicule can kind of end up masking someone's bad intentions. Trump's probably benefited from this too, though not from SNL so much as the general perception that he's a moron rather than a monster.

Just because he got ran roughshod by Donald Trump on a daily basis doesn't mean that he's a sympathetic character in all of this. Does anyone think that? He seems like Toadwart from gummy bears or something. Like he's a lying scumbag nonstop who is also kicked in the stomach by trump nonstop. It doesn't make spicer a good guy, but stuff like trump letting everyone but him meet the pope is just such a petty sort of mean spirited it's abnormal. It's like if hitler carried a photo of gobbel's dick around to show girls to laugh at how small it was or something. It doesn't make either person seem sympathetic, it's just such a weird sort of highschool meanness it has a different reaction.

SNL's buffoon president version of him was really likable. I'm not sure Trump gets the same. They're really, really brutal on him, and don't show any positive aspects at all that I've seen.
