To nobody’s surprise, Sean Spicer resigned last week as WH Press Secretary. The move came on the heels of the appointment of Anthony Scaramucci as WH Communications Director. Spicer was known for his combative temperament and knack for making false, and sometimes outrageous, statements to the press corps. Sean Spicer was not a very good press secretary, but I think we all must admit that he had an exceptionally tough job. Things got so bad for Mr. Spicer that the WH eventually banned cameras from the daily press briefings. As Sean Spicer, the hilarious Melissa McCarthy created a character for SNL that was even more popular than Alec Baldwin as the president. I’m sure “Spicy’s” resignation was a major disappointment to the writers at 30 Rock – and their fans.
Almost everyone, including Democrats, were expecting last Tuesday’s midterm election results to heavily favor Republicans. Many predicted a “red wave” where they would pick up 50-60 seats in the House and 3-4 in the Senate. Joe Rogan said the red wave that is coming will be like the elevator doors opening in the horror film The Shining.
