JFC, can’t this lousy excuse for a White House press secretary do anything right?
According to a New York Times article, by Patricia Cohen, (posted earlier today), it seems “Spicey” might’ve jumped the gun, so-to-speak, with his arguably premature emasculation, er, uh, um, ah I meant to say stupid claim the President* had something to do with the jobs report released early this morning by the Labor Department.

Maybe we should congratulate Ms. McCarthy, er, uh, um, ah, I meant to say Mr. Spicer on exercising undue restraint, since his idiot of a boss waited a scant eleven minutes to start pleasuring himself with his own congratulatory blast via Twitter this morning.

Definitely premature…
