    The plan to get Sean Spicer on the Emmys came together in just days. Here's the backstory. http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/18/media/stephen-colbert-sean-spicer/index.html …

        Blowback has just started. Colbert's reputation just took a big hit. I hope it was worth it to let Spicer promote his speaking tour.

        You know what would also have been surprising? Bill Cosby. Shock value should not have been the top consideration.

        Unless Sean Spicer is going to tell the truth about Trump, and the nonsense that goes on in the WH, he should not be given a public forum!

        I'm sure it was a bunch of white men who thought this would be a great idea because Spicer or Trump doesn't effect them @TheEmmys

        I would say "bigly" and personally don't think "succeeded" is the correct word...more like "F'd up bigly."

        Not a good surprise. It implied acceptance, made him one of the gang he had spent so much effort defaming.
