How bad was Ron Ziegler (for Nixon) ? I don't remember

[steve2470]

I know he was bad, but was he AS BAD as SHS ?

1. No. He was a lying ass, but nothing compared to Huckabuck

And her sneering hatred of the press.

2. that was my very vague memory too

He would get up there, do his "soldierly duty", lie through his ass but at least he was usually civil about it. I think he told the truth too occasionally

3. He was horrible, but not nearly as bad as Suckabee

.

4. SHS is so bad that had SNL written SHS like responses back for any earlier administration

they are SO over the top they would not be funny.

5. If you're making comparisons

Ziegler was closer to Spicer. Inept, often dishonest, but somewhat embarrassed by it all, and unable to please his boss. Hucksterbee has no shame, and isn't phased by the lying in the least.

6. yes, SHS lies without any apparent discomfort

Spicer seemed at least a bit uncomfortable with it.

7. I remember him as merely an annoying shill

and I didn't pay him much attention. He did not make me want to throw things the way SHS does; he was more like Sean Spicer only without the yelling. She's not just dishonest; she's mean and condescending.

8. The only way she could be meaner is...

to start cursing at individual journalists. Maybe that's coming!
