Spicer: It was time for someone else to step into the job

What can we say about Sean Spicer?

The guy had the worst job in the world -- press spokesman for a volatile president who hates the media and who is constantly bombarded from all angles by tough questions from the same.

Spicer was the one who had to put the spin on President Trump's lines of thought and that can not have been an easy task. We can only imagine the pressure he was under daily, putting just the right words out there to explain his boss's changes in temperament.

But the critics and late night comedians will now have to find someone else to poke fun at. Spicer, after six months on the job, has announced he is stepping aside.

We don't blame him. It was a pressure cooker of a job, one he could not seem to win at. His gaffes were made fun of without mercy and he could not get a break from the constant criticism that was directed at the administration he worked for.

We wish him well. Maybe he can find a job with a little less stress this time around.
