History will record Sean Spicer as an incompetent joke.

Trump hires the best people

Trump does not hire the best people by his own assessment.
Look how many of his own hires he has fired.

Sean Spicer's fate is sealed. His 15 minutes of fame show him as an incompetent joke.

Despite a horrible reputation he will make millions as an author, speaker and working for conservative institutions

What does that say about our society. A hard working person in the Midwest cannot get a job but a dirty rotten lying SOB can make millions?

You really should not be so hard on yourself. I know the Dems pay their henchmen well, but I never realized you got paid millions to post here!

No one is competent to translate Trump's incoherence into an actual consistent policy that makes sense to the press. That job would make anyone look like a fool.

I agree, you have to be a fool to take the job.

So, when do you start?

History will record Sean Spicer as an incompetent joke.

I don't think so. SNL might present him that way, but I doubt history will. I'd be surprised if history even mentions him, for his role in the WH was that of a factotum. He's not so much even as a footnote in history. History and current events are very different things. Merely being well known in the latter context does not at all ensure one mention in the former. To wit, does anyone who's not a presidential historian of sorts, without looking it up, know who was the first WH press secretary? I sure don't. The best I can do is infer -- based on inferences drawn from my recollections of the accessibility people and the press had to the president and that 19th century and earlier POTUSes themselves usually spoke personally about the actions and intents of their Administrations -- that the first one likely didn't exist until sometime in the 20th century.


I think the job Spicer had as press secretary calls for a faster and deeper thinking and more adroit rhetorician than Spicer is. I think Spicer would have been fine as the press secretary for a cabinet secretary or agency/bureau director where the scope of considerations and implications of one's remarks is far narrower than it is for the POTUS.

Not being "up to snuff" in a WH role is hardly a mark of incompetence; it doesn't get more demanding and the bar is set no higher than that. Not succeeding there indicates only that one has risen above one's own facility, not that one is indeed incompetent. That's not to say one cannot be in the WH and also indeed be incompetent, but rather that disappointing performance there isn't a sure sign of one's being incompetent in any absolute sense. At best and more likely, one may appear incompetent relative to one's WH coworkers and predecessors.

Social media will keep Sean alive with Melissa McCarthy's portrayal and the video that is already out showing his most blatant lies and awkward moments at the podium.
He is a joke for better or worse.

No one cares. Are you just too old to get it or really that stupid? He's a minnow in a shark tank.

Some people only look at the sharks, some people look at the sharks and the minnows.

Some people. mostly libs are bait!

Can angry incoherent lefties even name the last three or four press secretaries? It seems to me that one of Clinton's babes was arrested for DUI but that's just off the top of my head. We know from 20th century experience that the mainstream media writes pop history but even on that dismal mote history will probably give the Hussein administration a failing grade.

And what about the guy who sent him in?
