By the time former FBI Director James Comey sat down for an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Thursday night, his jaw had distinct traces of stubble — the 5 o’clock shadow of a man who had put in a more strenuous day than he’d bargained for. He has reached a crescendo in his book tour to promote A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, his my-side-of-the-story about how he got fired by President Trump and why he prefers to drink wine from paper cups.
Earlier in the day, Comey was buffeted by a barrage of rapid jabs from CNN’s Jake Tapper, who peppered him with queries in the manner of someone who had twice as many questions as time to ask them. But it was impossible to overprepare, as Comey’s TV appearances have largely consisted of his saying, “Yes,” “No,” and “I really can’t answer that”: It leaves a lot of extra time for more questions. On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The View, Comey was 6 feet 8 inches of stiff. As a talk-show guest, Martin Short he is not.
Everybody wants a piece of Comey. Democrats think he cost Hillary Clinton the presidency. Republicans think he worked assiduously against Trump. Every night, Fox News in the persons of Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson berate him as a “leaker” and a “liar,” and in case the president didn’t hear those jeers, the three-stooge Fox & Friends repeats the primetime insults the following morning. On CNN, anchors like Tapper, Anderson Cooper, and Wolf “the Drone That Speaks” Blitzer set up rows of chairs for their squads of paid opinionators to yell back and forth about Comey’s revelations and his flaws.

The author has a thing for Fox, I guess,
but he sure can turn a phrase. I especially liked...
...”buffeted by a barrage of rapid jabs...”!
Why was he allowed back on the government plane after he was fired? Why was he drinking wine on a government plane? Did my tax dollars purchase that alcohol and where’s my reimbursement?
He was fired, got mad and decided to get his revenge. No one wants to read a pi$$y-face whiney hate book.
I'd love to see him at a book signing and agents enter and take him away in cuffs!
The bright side for him is that it would probably help him sell a few more of his books.
Omg, I just got depressed reading the reviews at Amazon. How they glow about comey’s honesty and what a great man he is. I guess if you set out to have a ghostwritten book about how great you are, some people will believe you.
Comey will end up drinking Thunderbird out of a paper bag under a bridge shouting to the air how Trump set him up.
Hopefully this seditionist and criminal will end up hanging from a tree on the WDC mall (after a fair trial and conviction, of course).
One can only hope. Seriously, why are Obama and Clinton and all the rest of them not in a jail cell? Do we have justice in America anymore?
Comey to Hillary, “Hold ma beer.”
How could it not be going well. The basement dwelling self hating white males telecommuting for Amazon are deleting all reviews less than 4, and threatening those who post such reviews per a caller to Rush today
The left sets up firewalls against information that conflicts with their worldview. If you post a list of credible issues with Comey or Mueller, they simply say you must get your news from right-wing conspiracy blogs or Faux News - even if you provide links to sites such as The Hill.
What is the penalty for attempting a coup detat?
A caller to Rush’s show just said that Amazon is blocking all reviews that aren’t four or five stars. Rush had Snerdly investigate, and it seems to be true. Anyone attempting to give anything less than four or five stars gets a message saying . . . something about maintaining standards . . . ensuring a meaningful customer experience . . . or aomething like that.
Rush was saying that as for public attendance at his book signing, you could count the people on one hand. Lots of media, and hardly and interested parties looking to buy a hard cover pack of lies.
Bots is all:-)
