WASHINGTON—Less than a month into his new job, White House press secretary Sean Spicer needed to keep his food and drink cold. He wanted a mini-fridge.

He 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.

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.

I almost want to buy a subscription to the WSJ just to read the rest of that story, lol

Happy to paste the rest in if you want but the fridge story ends there, unfortunately.

Sean Spicer Faced Myriad Obstacles During Dramatic​White House​Rise and Fall

Dude, why not just buy another mini fridge?

He would have but his paycheck bounced

That…is insane. Can’t believe there’s anyone out there that feels sorry for that piece of shit.

Agreed. Anyone who will stand in front of the nation and lie to all of us like he has done deserves to rot. Sanders is no better, but no one should feel sorry for Spicer.

Like soldiers in Iraq following who were just following the ROE allowing them to kill anyone that seemed threatening, are innocent… That is, Spicer just took a job as press secretary for the president and did the best that he could. “we were only following orders”. Maybe he was desperate for a job or he’d starve, + he’d have access to health care.

Isn’t that what they call people from Nuremberg?

Spicer’s idiocy shows the real dysfunction in this White House of amateurs.

Anyone who’s watched The West Wing knows standard operating procedures here, and it’s a common practice of both parties since Ron Ziegler lied as press secretary to Nixon: you either don’t tell explicitly, or even ask the the PressSec to leave the room if you discuss something he/she will get questions on from the press, and you want to have plausible deniability until you’re ready to reveal. (Failure to do that led to the infamous Ziegler line about “This is the operative statement. All previous statements are inoperative.”) Every White House has done this in the last 40 years.

But not this one. They told Spicer what was really going on, and then told him to lie about it. And Spicer – who was once a very respected comms specialist – knows better and didn’t say “Hey, if you want me to deny something, make sure you don’t talk about it while I’m in the room.”

If only he hadn’t quit, I could envision an SNL skit “Spicey and the Mooch” with cheesy '80s-style credits.

Mr. Trump almost single-handedly engineered a shake-up of his communications staff last week, excluding even his chief of staff, Reince Priebus. Those discussions were among the few issues, big and small, in the West Wing that never leaked.

On the talk shows, there was little by way of detailed discussion of Mr. Trump’s agenda, perhaps a product of Mr. Scaramucci’s recent arrival in the role — which perhaps also explained a contradictory message aired on Sunday. Regarding the new Russian sanctions legislation agreed to by House and Senate conferees, Mr. Scaramucci said the president had not yet made up his mind about signing them, a statement that was at odds with one by the new press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“My bad,” Mr. Scaramucci told a New York Times reporter, taking ownership of his remark and apparently rejecting a round of on-background quotes from other White House aides insisting that he had said the same thing as Ms. Sanders.

I can’t see that guy’s name without ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ springing into my head.

Somebody posted that on my Facebook feed. It went completely over my head.
"I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?’

It still doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
But it is further example that I seldom carefully listen to or/understood song lyrics.
