“Stephanie Grisham has a new tell-all about her time working in the Trump White House. Grisham worked in the White House for four years, and as press secretary, she famously never gave a single press conference. But now she’s spilling all the tea in her new book, ‘I Just Recently Grew a Spine.’” — Stephen Colbert
“In the book, Grisham uses a lot of colorful language to describe the administration, calling it ‘a clown car on fire running at full speed into a warehouse full of fireworks.’ Or as Fox News would put it, ‘a brave band of flaming harlequins rushing patriotically into the explosive jaws of danger.’” — Stephen Colbert
“Yeah, just a reminder: She knew all about the fiery clown car and she still called shotgun for four years.” — Stephen Colbert
“Grisham goes on to write, ‘I can give you endless metaphors: living in a house that was always on fire, or in an insane asylum where you couldn’t tell the difference between the patients and the attendants, or on a roller coaster that never stopped.’ Ooh, ooh, let me try: Being in his administration is like sliding blindfolded down a 50-foot razor blade into a tub of gin. It’s like walking through a minefield led by a baby trying to change his own diaper. Driving a manure truck over a cliff into a pit of other manure trucks. Deep-sea diving surrounded by sharks who won’t shut up about winning Wisconsin.” — Stephen Colbert
“Grisham’s book, actually called I’ll Take Your Questions Now, reveals that Grisham called the South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham ‘Senator Freeloader’ since he used to regularly visit Mar-a-Lago and ‘stuff his face with free food’. For years, people have been asking: why would Lindsey Graham abandon all of his principles and kowtow to a demagogue bent on destroying democracy? Turns out, free shrimp.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night
of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
