"That must make you slightly below retarded. If you had a feeding tube, we'd disconnect it"
Nice. You're really making it hard to take you seriously at all.
Nimrod, learn to read. The letters form words, the words form sentences, you read them from left to right.
I said that the Press Secretary does indeed work for the public, in the sense that he gets paid by tax dollars. What seems to be confusing you is the fact that, just because he's a public servant, does not mean that his job is to tell you the information you want to hear, without spin, and without withholding what the administration thinks is appropriate.
"Well, I've got news for you, Einstein, all public servants serve at the pleasure of someone else, so by your logic (and I use that term loosely), no public servant works for us."
I've got news for you, Jackass, not every public servant "serves at the pleasure" of someone else. That is a phrase used specifically with the President and his advisors/cabinet.
"My understanding is that you're on the public dole, so you may not understand how the business world works"
My understanding is that you're in the private sector, so you may not understand how the government works.
"The government, right down to the street sweeper, is hired by US, to serve US"
No shit Sherlock, but "serve the US" doesn't always mean they're supposed to tell the unadulterated truth without spin. Sevre the public can mean anything from "fight fires" to "prosecute criminals" to "keep national security secrets" to "articulate the President's message as he sees fit."
