How bad is the work environment at the White House?  Here’s a quote from the Washington Post, attributed to an unnamed source on the mass shooting in Florida last week:

“For everyone, it was a distraction or a reprieve,” said the White House official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reflect internal conversations. “A lot of people here felt like it was a reprieve from seven or eight days of just getting pummeled.”

Seriously.  Callous. Town.  How about this from a GOP strategist:

“From an awful, cynical, purely political point of view, the tragic events in Florida probably helped the White House this week by distracting from the awful wave of scandal and bad news they have faced,” said Michael Steel, a Republican strategist.

Yeah, we can imagine it’s easier dodging the media than those bullets.  Hope everyone survives the pornstars, playmates, spousal abuses, indictments, tweetstorms and other weighty, life-threatening issues.
