          Damn, that sounds vaguely familiar, but ig Spicer overshadowed him in my memory

            To be fair, Sean “among the bushes” Spicer lasted 18.3 mooches.

              Ahh the Spicey one. I had a love/hate relationship with him. For anybody who wasn’t glued to political feeds expecting Armageddon at any moment like me, this pretty accurately sums up Spicer’s reign as White House Press Secretary.

                That skit killed his job. Don’t get me wrong, I’m okay with it. But Trump saw it and decided he couldn’t even be near someone who had had fun poked at him lest he appear weak, so it was good-bye Spicey.
