Sounded like it could most likely be that Doc. who heads up the highly respected Cleveland Clinic(s.)

Having a Vet is great but this job should really be about managing medical facilities and shaping up failing hospitals and clinics or shuttering them unless or until quality people who've actually succeeded, take the reins.

I was hoping for Milo Yiannopolis.

I'm looking for the daily press conferences to contain a lot more grilling of "reporters." For example:

"Your employer, the New York Times, printed these lies yesterday. (Insert the lies.) The Times also failed to cover these important stories. (Insert the stories.) Your newspaper's credibility could hardly be lower, yet you who create its content continue to present your readers with a wildly distorted view of the world's events. Do you have an honest explanation? Pay careful attention to the word 'honest.' If you need a dictionary to look up the word, we will provide one."

I thought a Milo/Ann Coulter tag team might work well:

"Over to you, mommy!"

"Thanks, son."

I have never heard of him, guess I will have to troll around on DU and measure the level of outrage to determine if this guy is good or not

Thanks for taking one for the team ;-)

I’m pissed. I sooooo wanted Laura Ingraham. Just a personal favorite. I’m sure Spicer’s OK, but Ingraham is priceless.

Spicer is a good guy. And if Trump feels like kicking some lying media butt, he’ll just stand in for Spicer.

And maybe they can double team the collusive corrupt media on special occasions. Trump has all the power. He can put out press releases such as, “Big announcement at 5pm”. And get all the cameras rolling and come out BBQ these snow flakes for fraudulent deceptive reporting and other fun things.

IMO Spicer will be adequate but I think there were at least two women considered who would have been better.

Just read it. Most excellent.

The protectionist wing of FR may not be pleased, or they may ignore it altogether.

I saw Sean on some show the other night. Well spoken and not afraid to speak the truth. I liked him Will continue to like him as long as he keeps it up.

Sean Spicer needs to quickly learn to speak in a Russian accent.

I'd never heard of him either; then, it was just my good fortune to catch him being interviewed on Politico, I think on Tuesday (12/20/16). He was VERY good in the way he handled himself and made his points. Check out the video - it's only about 5 min. long - I wish it was the whole 45 minutes - but I couldn't find it.

Never heard of him...anyone know about him?

Filled similar position for the RNC - with Priebus going into Trump admin, they must have seem an advantage to keep this guy in the fold. Should be an effective spokesman.

I know Mr. Spicer. He’s a public affairs officer for the Navy.
