Brennan Doesn't Do Humor

For John, BLUF:  I remember a mission debrief, back in the late 1960s, where the Flight Lead commented to Number Four, "Screw you if you can't take a joke."  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Joke's on Brennan for failing to find humor in Trump's remark, 'Dilbert' cartoonist says

Here is the sub-headline:

'Dilbert' creator Scott Adams on understanding Trump tweets

From Fox News, by Lukas Mikelionis, 17 August 2018.

Here is the lede plus five:

Imagine a scenario in which a top intelligence officer places the U.S. at risk all because he couldn't discern when the president was joking.  It almost sounds like the plot for a comic strip.

Well, that's exactly what happened in the case of former CIA Director John Brennan, according to Scott Adams, creator of the popular “Dilbert” strip.

In a Twitter message Thursday, Adams slammed Brennan, asserting that the former CIA chief in 2016 didn't realize that President Trump was joking when the then-candidate urged Russia to find Hillary Clinton's missing emails.

The alternative to thinking of Mr Brennan as dumb is to believe he is guilty of sedition.

Your choice.
