IOW, Tapper was losing the argument.

...You're being a factotum in order to please him...

fac·to·tum
[fakˈtōdəm]

NOUN
an employee who does all kinds of work

From a liberal, this is an insult? Yeah, work IS a four letter word to them...

In the context given, “factotum” isn’t correct. Trying to sound smart almost always backfires.

“What, did Tapper study the dictionary last night?”

Nah, the TelPrompTer had it phonetically written out for him. My bet is he has no clue what either word means.

Let’s not forget that Obama couldn’t open his mouth without a teleprompter in front of him for many years. Even when speaking to children. Eventually he learned to memorize and string together phrases, but he still needed to know the questions in advance.

Jake Tapper?

The Jake Tapper that had his lips surgically removed from Obama’s butt two years ago?

That Jake Tapper?

So true.

It reminds me of a piece of advice from a crusty old partner when I was a junior associate lawyer:

“Whenever you write something, if there’s a phrase you’re particularly proud of . . . take it out!”

LOL! Yes. “Obsequious” was the WFTD last Monday.

I know, because I was the poster.

Tapper calling Miller a slave? Irony writ large.

When does a man, woman or goat come forward to allege that Tapper abused them? After all, it is the seriousness of the charge not any facts.

LOL: Jake got CNN bonus points for “obsequious” and “factotum.”

I am an attorney with 30 years experience writing legal briefs and appeals. I had to look up both of those words. I'm sure no one in the CNN audience, including Stephen Miller had any idea what point he was trying to make.

You need to get over the surrender syndrome of the Republican Party.

He was calling Miller an advocate for Trump, which he is.

Much like El Rushbo, Steve Miller could debate Tapper with “half his brain tied behind his back” and still mop the proverbial floor with Tapper.

Well he failed because he didn’t use the other calender of the day word “obtuse” of which he is...severely...
