Unhinged All Right

Stephen Colbert's take on the Omarosa/ Rump fiasco du jour is priceless.



The most recent development in this asinine -- but wholly predictable -- shitshow cum book tour involves the long- sought tape from "The Apprentice" in which Rump uses the "n word."  Not only does Omarosa say she heard the tape (after her book was put to bed), but that the tape was discussed with other then- campaign aides to Rump -- and she has the receipts (and shared them with CBS):

Omarosa gives CBS a tape of @KatrinaPierson and @LynnePatton on a conference call during the campaign about the alleged "n-word" tape: Pierson says on the tape: "He's said it. He's embarrassed."

True to form, the Very Stable Genius who only hires the best people (as Colbert points out in Omarosa's case, 4 times) accessed his bag of big boy presidential -- and not at all dehumanizing, sexist or racist --words:

When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

They deserve each other, but we don't deserve them (at least most of us don't).

"Only The Best People" (UPDATED)

Pot, meet kettle:

Reporter: "Do you feel betrayed by Omarosa?"

She's his former Director of Communications for the Office of Public Liaison in the White House. Only the best people!

UPDATE: Hee-hee.

this is a bonkers thing to let sink in — Omarosa secretly recorded the Chief of Staff *inside* the Situation Room.
