Paul Begala, today on CNN.com and in the best take-down ever calls Mick Mulvaney a ‘throne-sniffer’ and comes one step away from calling Mulvaney a fly-eater.
Let’s close that loophole:
‘flies, flies, poor puny things… who wants to eat flies?’
Paul Begala writes on CNN today:
My heart usually goes out to White House staffers. The hours are long, the challenges great. So it is with no joy that I offer this assessment of Mick Mulvaney's performance running Donald Trump's White House: it stinks.
In his press briefing today, Mulvaney revealed himself to be a yes-man when this President needs someone who can tell him no. The most important, most difficult, most loyal two words a White House staffer can use are: "No, sir."
Those words never seem to emerge from Mr. Mulvaney's mouth. Far from being a public servant, the acting chief of staff revealed himself to be a throne-sniffer of the worst order. If he were any more of a toady, he'd be catching flies with his tongue.
