"michael wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this boring and untruthful book. he used sloppy steve bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. now sloppy steve has been dumped like a dog like almost everyone. too bad." he often plays the dog card when people are fired. glenn beck got fired like a dog. he uses it to describe the looks of a woman he doesn't like, ariana huffington, a dog who wrongfully comments on me, or women who cheated on their men. an election loser, mitt romney, what did he do? choked like a dog. the president often accuses the media of being biased. let me make a con
