https://splinternews.com/sean-spicers-new-book-is-apparently-littered-with-dumb-1827828511From the Wall Street Journals Tuesday morning review by ABCs Jonathan Karl:
"Mr. Spicer has not been well served by the books fact checkers and copy editors. He refers to the author of the infamous Trump dossier as Michael Steele, who is in truth the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, not the British ex-spy Christopher Steele. He recounts a reporter asking Mr. Obama a question at a White House press conference in 1999, a decade before Mr. Obama was elected. There are also some omissions: He writes about working for Rep. Mark Foley (R., Fla.), who he says knew how to manage the news cycle. And on top of all that, he was good to staff and fun to be around. He never gets around to mentioning that Mr. Foley later resigned in disgrace for sending sexually explicit messages to teenage boys working as congressional pages."
Aside from the Foley thing, these errors just make Spicer look like the idiot he is known to bethough hes such a well-documented liar that you cant help but wonder for a just a nanosecond that hes on some weird, deliberate campaign of deception.
According to Karl, Spicer also continues his habit of debasing himself for the benefit (pleasure?) of President Donald Trump, calling him at various points a rock star, the Energizer bunny, and even a unicorn, riding a unicorn over a rainbow.

Watch the right wing media feel free to savage Spicer (not that he doesn't totally deserve it) and his stupid book now that Karl has put the imprimatur on harsh reviews.
Hey Sean, still feeling good about your life choices? Not even your erstwhile friends in the hyena den want anything to do with you.

Well, a tiny hero! He could have become a democrat and told the truth.
Instead, he secures his position as a fool.
Fool.....!!

Today's republicans are an evolutionary step backwards. Low level intellect, values, and morals in every way.
