No alternative fact: Trump spokesman who yelled at media started in N.J.
Sean Spicer's first political gig was handling press relations in the 1990s for U.S. Rep. Michael Pappas, a Republican who made some pretty funny headlines of his own back in the day.
...
Spicer's ex-boss Pappas gained national fame for singing an ode, on the House floor, to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr, whose findings led to the President Bill Clinton's impeachment by the Republican-controlled House on charges stemming from the Democrat's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
The song, as recorded by the New York Times, went like this:
Twinkle, twinkle, Kenneth Starr,
Now we see how brave you are.
We could not see which way to go
If you did not lead us so,
Twinkle, twinkle, Kenneth Starr
Now we see how brave you are.
The song became a national punchline and led to Pappas losing what had been a safe Republican district in 1998 to Democratic nominee Rush Holt, who held the seat until he retired in 2015.
Holt used the ditty to attack Pappas as "out of tune" and "out of touch."
