Tell us again about your uncomfortable dinner with The Important Man, Mr. Comey (satire)

[ehrnst]

<snip>

I watched the James Comey hearings completely sober so that you did not have to, and here is what was said:

Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.): Hello, Mr. Comey. I am excited for you to testify today, but I am more excited for your real, hard-core testimony behind closed doors, of which this is only a preview. First off, I would like to say that I read your prepared statement. It had a lot of, uh, texture. You seem to be a very awkward man.

Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.): Before we start, just to be clear, this is not a witch hunt. If it were a witch hunt, I would have a big white wig, and we would have also called your demon familiar to the stand. Now, take it away.

...........................................................

Comey: Well, you saw that uncomfortable interaction we had where he held me close in the blue room and whispered, and what he whispered was, “I look forward to working with you.” And then I sort of got the vibe at dinner that he was expecting more from me than I was willing to give him.

Warner: And this was February 14.

Comey: Yes.

Warner: You know that’s a special day.

Comey: I have been made aware of that fact.

Warner: Don’t you think it would have been right for him to have had an expectation? And for everyone else to have left the room?

Comey: Yeah.

Warner: And he didn’t ask about any of the tens of thousands of other ongoing investigations?

Comey: No, but to be fair, they did not have his name anywhere near them, and you know how he loves to see his name.

Senator James Risch (R-Idaho): Have you considered that when Trump said he hoped you would stay on, he just genuinely meant that he hoped you would stay on?

Comey: What?

Risch: Is HOPE a crime?

Comey: I’m sorry.

Risch: You know who used to hope a LOT? Barack Hussein Obama.

................................................................

Rubio: Why not, huh? Why did you allow yourself to be alone in the room with him if you knew that was what he wanted? You knew it would be your word against his. Why didn’t you report it to your boss? Why did you wear that elegant blue suit that looked like a curtain? You know that curtains are mean to be pulled aside."

1. Satire

Please use some kind of identifier....

I wasted about a minute making sure this was fake.

2. I just did, thanks for the heads up. (nt)

4. Oh pooh on you

If it really took you 60 seconds to see this was satire, if you really couldn't get that from the headline alone, then that minute wasn't wasted. It was an opportunity to educate yourself on becoming a a more discerning reader.

5. No.

With this administration, anything is possible.

And I missed the Comey hearing so I was trying to get caught up on everything.

3. "Why didn't you report this to your boss?" !!!

glourious!
