Hollywood and MSNBC are upset that Sean Spicer was asked to come on stage at the Emmys and make fun of himself. I thought his skit had a lot of funny shock value. The argument against it is that Spicer did a busload of lying for Donald Trump, and allowing Spicer to participate in the Emmy show normalized falsehood.
My response to that argument is: LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush. Let's be clear. Presidential lying became normal 50 years ago. They lied us into wars, stirred up the whites to attack people of color and hid adventures with hand maids. What makes Trump a little different is that he doesn't lie about the big things. He lies about everything. He lies about crowd size. No other President has been that stupid.
