Spicer and NSA McMaster were forced to apologize to the British after having accused them yesterday of conspiring with Obama to spy on Trump. In the words of the British government, these claims were "utterly ridiculous." The source of said claim? Fox commentator "Judge" Andrew Napolitano.

If there is going to be a judgment against Trump, it must be the biggest and the best, of course.

Maybe a positive side effect of this will be a realization by some that Fox is not a reliable source of information. But that is probably a pipe dream. It nice though to see Spicer have to back off from his reliance on a Fox commentator as a source.

This is sounding better and better.

Sources told the Sun and Telegraph US officials had issued a "grovelling" apology to the PM's National Security Adviser Sir Mark Lyall Grant.
Love the word 'grovel' in this instance especially since I recall Spicer telling his audience that he speaks for Trump and not for himself.

Quote:
White House press secretary Sean Spicer sparked the row last night by quoting a Fox News pundit who claimed GCHQ "wiretapped" the Republican billionaire for Barack Obama to avoid "American fingerprints".

Today he was branded "stupid" and "desperate" by Britain's former foreign secretary and intelligence committee chief Malcolm Rifkind.

When you looked at the Republicans, you saw the scum off the top of
business. When you looked at the Democrats, you saw the scum off the top
of politics. Personally, 1 prefer business, A businessman will steal from you
directly instead of getting the IRS to do it for him. And when Republicans
ruin the environment, destroy the supply of affordable housing and wreck
the industrial infrastructure, at least they make a buck off it. The Democrats
just do these things for fun.
Parliament of Whores was indeed an excellent read. Made me laugh out loud more than once.

None of it is funny anymore.
Someone needs to get down to the real business of running the country.
