He finally gave voice to the sentiment that I'm sure most of the people who have watched Baghdad Jeff have long felt:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/and ... cdba5447aaAnderson Cooper: If Trump ‘Took A Dump On His Desk,’ Jeffrey Lord Would Defend It
It appears CNN anchor Anderson Cooper has had enough of people making excuses for President Donald Trump’s questionable actions.
Cooper on Friday was asking Jeffrey Lord, a CNN contributor and Trump surrogate, about the president reportedly calling former FBI Director James Comey a “nut job” to Russian officials at the White House. But Lord continued his unconditional support for Trump, saying U.S. presidents can say whatever they want.
“I don’t care what he says to the Russians. I mean, he’s the president of the United States,” Lord said. “If he wants to say that, if Barack Obama wants to say whatever, if George Bush says I looked in his eyes ...”
Cooper, apparently fed up, interrupted: “If he took a dump on his desk, you would defend it.”
The sharp comment made Lord laugh.
Cooper’s not the only one frustrated by Lord’s on-air ramblings.
Last year, Lord claimed there were no people of color in the United States, which upset Latina political commentator Maria Cardona. In April, he called Trump the “Martin Luther King of health care,” to the shock of fellow TV panelists.
So, when Cooper dropped his “dump-on-his-desk” comment, some people said it was a long time coming.
I was watching Cooper live when he said this and I wound up snorting Martini out my nose...(which I can tell you really burns, but it's a good sinus clearer)
A lot of the airhead Trumpanzee minions that have appeared on television spouting complete nonsense are just political ignoramuses, but Jefferey Lord should know better...He's been around politics a long time...(At least Kellyanne has the excuse that she's being paid)
He really should be ashamed of himself...
Another thing that really irritates me about Lord, is that almost every time he shows up to defend the latest indefensible, he comes in through Skype with a photo of Ronald Reagan on his wall, right over his shoulder...You can see it in the clip above...(He worked in the Reagan White House briefly; as an associate political director 1987–1988)
I suspect he thinks that's supposed to covey some sort of "credibility" on to him...
I wish The Gipper would climb down out of that photo and bitch slap the lyin' weasel...
Or it would be great if that picture would at least fall off the wall while he's on the air saying something particularly nonsensical and bang him in the head...
