For Sean Spicer, All Roads Lead to Dancing With the Stars
PoliticsIf you are one of the millions of Americans who watch ABC’s unabashedly campy Dancing With the Stars—or one of the hundreds who read my recaps of it—you’ll know that the show is something like a purgatory for has-beens hoping for a comeback, and celebrities on the way down. Like purgatory, it exists largely outside the moral binary, allowing for the honorable and wretched to desecrate the Argentine tango side by side in front of the country’s most forgiving viewers.
That’s why when I read the Page Six report that DWTS is trying to court former Press Secretary and modern day court jester Sean Spicer, I nearly plotzed. It’s a match made in ratings heaven, a breathtaking confluence of greed and shamelessness. Plus, if I get five Trump administration officials on DWTS in a row, I win my personal game of BINGO.
