Who do you feel sorry for?


I feel sorry for the White House staffer in the communications office who is part of the group that needs to track media coverage of the administration and has the job of reporting back every morning about the Daily Show with a straight face and a somber or outraged tone of voice.

At least the fancy French furniture got to keep their drawers.

A lot of people to feel sorry for in this installment: I feel sorry for the writers of The Onion. With the announcement of a "White House Director of Lessons Learned," how do you possibly write satire that outpaces this administration? I feel sorry for...
