I'm not sure if there I spelled Reince Priebus' name correctly, but to be fair, nobody in the world ever is.

The thing about the mini-fridge is more sad than funny. A guy making $180K finds it necessary to screw his junior staffers out of their fridge rather than just get his own. If that isn't the perfect poster child for the Biff Tannen White House (well, other than Biff himself, of course) then I don't know what is.

The "funny" crown definitely goes to Scaramucci for his line about why he's not Steve Bannon.

They certainly could have bought two mini-refrigerators... if that was the point.
I suspect that this was an attempt to instill a moral lesson.
The juniors needed to learn they had to earn what they wanted in life and not rely on government hand-outs.

This is stupid on so many levels.

1. How do you know they didn't earn it?
2. When have office fixtures been a handout?
3. What was the moral lesson for Spicer? That it's okay to steal from people, as long as you outrank them and can get away with it?

Classic public sector. Doesn't want to pay for things like employee fridges or refreshments, probably still giving everyone there a salary and pension package worth about 30-40% more than they'd get in equivalent jobs in the private sector.

It was the fly story for me. Perfect example of how Trump will find a way to humiliate anyone in his radar.
