The former press secretary didn’t land a lucrative TV news pundit job. Now both Spicer and Washington super lawyer/agent Bob Barnett are distancing themselves from each other.

At first, Sean Spicer’s exit from the White House followed the blueprint for famous administration officials.

Step one: Hire mega lawyer/agent Bob Barnett, who has represented presidents and their operatives in lucrative deals, from Barack Obama and David Axelrod to George W. Bush and Karl Rove. Step two: Make the rounds at various TV networks, where a contributor job can yield reliable, high-profile income.

But step three — landing the plush TV deal — never happened.

Now Spicer and Barnett, who seeks to uphold a reputation as the preeminent talent broker in Washington, are both distancing themselves from one another, according to sources familiar with the matter. Around Washington, Barnett has downplayed his relationship with Spicer, sources said. Spicer, for his part, is leaning on another agent who has represented Trump world talent like Ivanka Trump, Corey Lewandowski, and David Bossie — Mel Berger from agency giant WME.

1. He needs to write a tell all book

[Baconator]

25. I'll bet he got NDAed top to bottom ...

If he blabs, he'll be crushed.

[Yonnie3]

2. Would you like to supersize that? n/t

[Paladin]

3. Is it OK if I don't give a fuck about anything Spicer ever does again?

That'll go double for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, when she's finally, mercifully out on the street.

[Rollo]

19. Yes, and...

You're OK, and I'm OK...

[Fred Sanders]

4. It will take years for the sulphurous odor he still reeks of in is few days in the WH. Only place

where that smell is welcome is Fox. But hiring Spicer would upset the devil illegally in occupation of his former workplace.

[marble falls]

5. He needs to repent and come clean. Hiring WME isn't a step in the right direction, and neither ....

was biting the hand he'd have feed him with those media bashing comment - on Hannity.

[BumRushDaShow]

6. Maybe he could

show up on SNL and play himself playing Melissa McCarthy playing him.

[FakeNoose]

8. The only time he wasn't a tool

...was when Melissa McCarthy played him on SNL. But that's over, so now he's back to being a tool again. Who would hire this guy?

MSNBC doesn't want him, Fox News has no use for him. It's too late to go back and work for the RNC. All of his bridges are burned, so he might as well write a book.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Maybe Bannon will find something for him.

[left-of-center2012]

7. Maybe he should go find a real job

Isn't Trump creating jobs for coal miners?

[NNadir]

9. The modern coal miner is a highly skilled operator of heavy equipment.

While I am personally opposed to the use of any and all dangerous fossil fuels, it is very unlikely that any present or former member of the Trump administration would prove competent to run a piece of heavy equipment.

[sharedvalues]

10. He lied to support an autocrat. He harmed America. He deserves nothing

Spicer deserves nothing. His actions and lies harmed us all. They harmed America's standing abroad and the lies hurt middle-class people and harmed our Democracy.

Spicer deserves blame and opprobrium. Liars like him deserve to live in poverty, to know what it's like to fear your car breaking down because you probably can't pay to fix it.


All right-minded Americans should protest spicer wherever he pops up his hate-spreading head.

[Skittles]

12. he will be forever known as a major Trump Whore

[irisblue]

13. I would cheerfully

Pour a test tube of urine on that asshats shoes.
I never cared for pimps. And he was a lousy one.

[jmowreader]

14. There's no reason why Sean Spicer would get a "plush TV deal"

Spicer is not an attractive person and his voice is not good. There are a LOT of attractive RWNJs to choose from.

[whistler162]

15. Stripes are slimming

?1381785783

Maybe they can help him land a new career.

[UpInArms]

16. Garbage collection is

Honorable work .. And he might learn to enjoy riding on the back of the big(ly) truck

[Rollo]

20. Yes, but Spicer's experience is all in dispensing garbage, not collecting it...

.

[Zorro]

17. He is radioactive

As will be many others in the administration in the post-Trump era.

[not fooled]

18. Thank goodness

Even the largely useless or worse corporate media had no use for this tool.

Go crawl under a rock along with the other previous denizens of the White House after being wrung out and hung out by dump.

[Gothmog]

21. Spicer hurt his credibility by working for trump

[whistler162]

23. Only if you consider

putting your head under a guillotine and pulling the rope as hurting.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. And

he failed his TV auditions (as filmed in the White House)!

Having a VERY difficult time feeling an ounce of sympathy for him. He chose to do what he did and now has the opportunity to reap the rewards (and aren't they pouring in!).

[dalton99a]

22. He knowingly lied for Trump on a daily basis

about a zillion times

[Dave Starsky]

24. Let's see: lies freely and easily about even the dumbest things, has a belligerent attitude...

Has no discernible marketable skills whatsoever.

I honestly don't see what he has to offer any employer for any position anywhere. I wouldn't hire him as a volunteer to sort rags at a dump site. He literally can't be trusted to do anything.

[no_hypocrisy]

26. Where could he go?

There's only three cable news networks and forget about a commercial mainstream network. All slots are filled; there's no room for him even as a commentator on a panel.

[Kleveland]

28. It's almost Xmas...

The brick and mortar stores that are still left are probably looking for Santa Claus candidates.

Thinks of the perks, drink on the job, lying to children all day.... hanging out with elves (Maybe even Keeblers!)

And he was a great Easter Bunny!

A decent job reference..... (though Hasenpfeffer comes to mind).
