Charles P. Pierce: Fire This Man - Sean Spicer's time is up.

Fire This Man
Sean Spicer's time is up.

Fire the man. Or let him resign. I don't care. But do it now.

Do it for reasons that are nothing short of humane. He's overmatched out there, by his job, by the sheer venality and incompetence of the president* he serves, and by the English language. Fire Sean Spicer. Do it now, for his own good, before he says something that causes some group to storm the Press Briefing Room and light him on fire.

Throw the damn towel!

Spicer was clearly trapped up there by the administration's ever-evolving rationale for blowing up a Syrian cafeteria the other day. He was trying to turn a simple act of sophisticated destruction into a blow for humanity and a landmark in the fight against tyranny. (Why shouldn't he? After all, many very important pundits called it exactly that.) But the Syrian government was back using the airfield the next day, and the administration seems to be on both sides of a civil war in which one side is backed by Russia.

No spokesman in the history of the world—not even St. Paul, who was probably the best one ever—could sell this lemon of a story. So Spicer went groping after some threadbare bit of historical justification and fell all the way down the well. He has to go, for his own good.

Funny - but true.

I'm absolutely livid at what he said and (coughchokespittlespew) his clarification. I saw red as the saying goes.
