Sarah Huckabee Sanders as talking fish (my term)--Halibut or Flounder?

This is cruel and mean, but based on the lack of ethics and morality that I saw today, I am asking this for my brother. The two fish are very similar, and I suspect my brother's preference is based on language. What say you? The halibut appellation just cracked him up, but he insists it should be flounder.

The overall appearance and the behavior is what I'm looking for.

A cruel reference, no doubt, but in view of her defense of the indefensible, a just one. She is ridiculous.

Then I got to thinking about a talking fish, which is what she is relegated to at this point. She is probably unaware of that. In any case, if you are able to do so, do a search for halibut. Results should (cough) surface.

They're jawless. They live either as parasites, or by filter feeding to supplement the reserves they got at birth.
