Sean Spicer stole a mini-fridge from White House staffers



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/07/sean-spicer-stole-a-mini-fridge-from-white-house-staffers/

Unfortunately, Spicer went about procuring a fridge in a manner that could best be described as ill-advised. A Wall Street Journal report detailed the long and winding road to Spicer's high-profile resignation Friday and began with an anecdote that showed the press secretary hatching a plan to steal a fridge from junior staffers.

Wrote Michael C. Bender of the Journal: "[Spicer] dispatched a top aide to a nearby executive office building where junior research employees are crammed into a room, surviving on Lean Cuisine frozen lunches. Mr. Spicer wants your icebox, the aide said, according to people familiar with the incident. They refused to give it up."

Now, here is the moment Spicer could have shifted gears. It's already (as the kids say) a bad look to demand the workers underneath you give up their icebox. Kudos to them for turning down a senior staffer. But Spicer wasn't satisfied. There is a Walmart about 1.5 miles from the White House where the press secretary could have bought a mini-fridge (for as little as $60!). Instead he waited. Then he pounced.

Wrote Bender in the Journal: "So Mr. Spicer waited until sundown—after his young staffers had left—to take matters into his own hands. He was spotted by a fellow White House official lugging the icebox down the White House driveway after 8 p.m."

1. What a weird dude.

[wcmagumba]

2. Weird but...

typical repuke...

[Solly Mack]

3. He took his toys and went home.

LMAO

[Turbineguy]

4. Character assassination after firing?

Classic symptom of a sick organization.

[padah513]

10. +1

That's what I think too. I don't have feelings about the guy one way or the other, but I suppose they couldn't let him walk away with any kind of dignity. Then again maybe he did. You hang around in a pigsty long enough and some mud is bound to rub off on you.

[Bradical79]

12. It's not like they need to

He's been regarded as a dishonest weirdo from the beginning. This would be like leaking that Jeff Sessions is racist.

[mac56]

5. Fridge gate?

[forgotmylogin]

13. That was AMERICA'S FRIDGE.

He owes us $60!

[tanyev]

6. I demand a Melissa McCarthy podcast re-enacting the incident!

[Funtatlaguy]

28. Oh hell yes

She could do wonders with this.

[CentralMass]

7. He avoiding taking the microwave. "Those things are bugged"

[csziggy]

19. MICROWAVES (Are Watching You!)

[CentralMass]

21. :-) Thank you. That was the reference that I was looking for.

[csziggy]

22. I have been on a Randy Rainbow bender today

Sent him a message and asked him to do a send up of Scaramucci based on the Bohemian Rhapsody. The major problem is - the words would barely need to be changed!

[Achilleaze]

8. the former Official Liar for the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief had to have a place

to store his Dippin Dots. Freaking republicans and their kinks.

[lunasun]

9. That's a republican move for due

[marybourg]

11. What?

Is everyone typing with their eyes closed today? Or are we all speaking a language I haven't learned yet?

[tblue37]

14. Probably she meant "for sure," but her hyperactive autocorrect changed it

to " for due. "

I proofread and correct my posts, but autocorrect keeps changing the corrected post back to autocorrect gibberish. Usually I catch the mess each time and fix it, but sometimes the change happens again just as I hit "post," and I have to edit to fix it yet again.

[Hekate]

15. I finally turned autocorrect off it was so bad

Crappy waste of time

[tblue37]

16. I have turned it off on my little tablets, but it doesn't matter. It stays on anyway.

Turning it off did work on my desktop, but the autocorrect on my tablets just thumbs its nose at me and continues to F*** with my words.

[NastyRiffraff]

17. Is this true?

I see it's from Raw Story, but are we sure it's correct? I was sure it was The Onion at first.

I mean, Spicer may be an idiot, but is he really THAT crazy? Who does that shit?

[csziggy]

20. Yes, here is a Newsweek story - but it originally came from the Wall Street Journal

Since the WSJ is behind a pay wall I'll link to Newsweek:

[NastyRiffraff]

30. Thanks for the link

Ye gods, how petty is that? The thing is, it's stuff like this that lingers, more than the many, many mistakes and bullying remarks Spicer made in his brief but tumultuous tenure.

[Volaris]

25. A dumb fucking hoosier with no sense of class or tact.

I live in St louis, and hoosier doesn't mean someone from indianna. Closest appx is a suburban redneck, but even that isnt quite it. Trust me, its not an insult if he actually did this, it's who the fuck he is...

[NotASurfer]

18. Adams Law of Compensation Equilibrium

Scott Adams has a rule of thumb (broadly simplified) that a if you're paid less than you think you should be paid for some crappy job, one way to increase your total compensation for doing that crappy job is to steal office supplies...I think we have an example here

[yuiyoshida]

23. I had heard he had his OWN stash of fudgsicles in it and people were

stealing them, so he took the whole thing home. sounds legit...

[underpants]

27. Well it certainly wasn't Dippin' Dots

Spicey HATES Dippin Dots

[yuiyoshida]

33. Personally i always enjoyed Creamsicles

[DeminPennswoods]

24. "Midnight requisition"

is the term of art.

[underpants]

26. That's not cool

[Sugar Smack]

29. To be fair, he needs SOMETHING to show for his shit-job months in the WH.

A mini fridge. It isn't much, but Spicer now has his satisfaction, by damn.

[blogslut]

31. Post-job mud-slinging aside...

To me, this crystallizes the mindset of our current crop of wingnuts:

"Those lesser people have a thing. I don't have that thing. I deserve that thing. Instead of going out and getting that thing that is easy for me to get, I will take their thing."

[Miles Archer]

32. "Mr. Spicer wants your icebox"

Sounds like an early 60s Alfred Hitchcock film.
