It’s hard to get a super fix on James Comey but here’s my overall take on him. He seems like a guy who knows he’s done something unbelievably bad and will spend the rest of his life trying to do the right thing. But despite all of that, he still screwed up in a major way and more than likely did something he truly regretted. It’s like in the movie The Inside Man. The character Christopher Plummer played initially made a deal with Nazis to get his bank started. Over the next 50 years or so he became wealthy and powerful, and all along did the “right thing” even by the Jewish people. But he had this one secret lingering in his past. No matter how much he did for society and Jews, he still made a deal with the Nazis thus voiding every good deed he ever did.
That’s in a way how I look at James Comey. No matter what he says or does, there’s something fishy about what he did during the election and I don’t care what people say. Now that that’s out of the way, I do happen to like some of the things Comey’s been saying recently. His latest comments concern his admission that he’s on Twitter. Though Comey is smart enough to never tweet he still reads it everyday. Here’s what he had to say.
“Sometimes it’s a wonderful place and sometimes it’s a depressing place. Sometimes it feels like I’m all of a sudden immediately in every dive bar in America, where I can hear everybody screaming at the television set.”
I’ve never heard someone compare Twitter to a dive bar but I admit this is a pretty good assessment.
