White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is the leading contender to be the next U.S. ambassador to Ireland, Irish Central reported Wednesday, citing sources. This comes after Brian Burns, President Donald Trump’s nominee for the post, withdrew his name from consideration, according to reports.

Burns, an Irish-American based in Florida’s Palm Beach, reportedly told Trump he would not be able to serve as ambassador to Ireland due to ill health.

In a statement released to Irish broadcaster RTÉ News, Burns’ representative said he suffered "a bad fall a few weeks ago" and was preparing to have "a second back surgery in the lumbar area of his spine." He is expected to make full recovery by the end of the summer. He reportedly thanked Trump for the "great honor of being considered to be U.S. Ambassador to his beloved Ireland." The president acknowledged Burns’ decision and thanked him for his support, according to RTÉ News.

In February, the New York Times reported Trump intended Burns to be the ambassador. However, his nomination was never officially announced.

1. Way to say "Fuck you, Ireland!" nt

[whathehell]

2. Well, that's one way to get rid of him..

Might calm him down a bit too. I mean, really..Who would want his job?

[BumRushDaShow]

3. "The media rumor mill" has been "getting rid of Spicer" for months now.

[underpants]

11. There was also a rumor that Spicey was going to get to meet the Pope

but Trump pulled that rug from underneath him

[BumRushDaShow]

12. Yup - had heard that one too.

[Baconator]

13. Spicer is a devout catholic as well...

I suspect he thought that things like that (meeting the pope) were going to make all of worth it and then *yoink*...

[Doug the Dem]

4. What has Ireland ever Done to Us?

I suggest North Korea, instead.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

5. I think Ambassador Rodman has that post

[Maeve]

6. Beat me to it!

Hasn't Ireland had enough pain without him?

[sinkingfeeling]

7. Noooooooo! That's where I going to live. Just no!

[OnDoutside]

8. Fear not, my friends, we will tear the p*** out of him ! If he thinks one of the McCarthy clan

gave him a hard time, he's in for a rude awakening

[trusty elf]

9. .....

10. It's a SNL rule that Mellissa McCarthy has to "move" with Sean Spicer. (Sean,

you can't escape the Eyes of SNL.)

[pangaia]

14. LOLOLOL!!!

Does he or any of those stupid nitwits know that Ireland's new Prime Minister is.................................
..................... wait for it.............


GAY....................................... and.............................

...........................
MARRIED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wait 'till they find out...

[femmocrat]

15. Go, Spicey, go!

The sh*t in DC is getting deeper.... you might want to get out while you can!

[not fooled]

16. Well, it's kinda hard for me to begrudge the poor guy

a plum job after enduring torment at the hands of the dump regime. Of course, he willingly entered into hell but still, I feel kinda sorry for him. Probably never imagined it would turn out to be as crazy and dysfunctional as it has.

On the other hand, I could easily see dump yanking away this prize after cruelly dangling it in front of Spicey, ala Mitt and the infamous Secretary of State dinner of humiliation.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. No, they're going to move his desk down into the basement.

And ask him to take care of the cockroach problem.

[JHB]

19. Odds of this being another, "Hey, Spicey!Psych!" like with the pope...

...are ???

I figure "better than average."

[Deb]

20. Spicey wins an ambassadorship!

I wonder what other prizes trump will give his loyalty cupboard, so exciting.
