Celebrity Reactions to Comey Firing and White House “Explanations”

Celebrity reactions to President Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey have been swift and stunned. In the tradition of Frederick Douglas and Andrew Jackson seemingly living on and commenting on events long after their deaths, celebrity responses have not been limited to the living.

Carlos Santana:  Oy Vey Comey’s Gone

Carly Rae Jepsen: 

And now you’re in my way

I trade my soul for a wish
I wasn’t looking for this
But now you’re in my way

It’s hard to look right at you baby
But I’ve got your number
So Comey maybe

You gave me nothing at all
But still you’re in my way

I threw a wish in the well
Don’t ask me I’ll never tell
I looked at you as it fell
So Comey me maybe

Boy George: Comey Comey Comey Comey Chameleon. I could never keep up with that guy.  Whose side was he on?  Hillary’s? Trump’s? Just his own side?

Jay and the Americans:

Comey little bit closer
You’re my kind of man
So big and so strong
Comey a little bit closer
I’m all alone
And the night is so long

Willie Nelson/Don Meredith on Spicer Briefing in the Bushes::

Turn out the lights
The party’s over
They say that
All good things must end
Call it tonight
The party’s over
And tomorrow starts
The same old thing again

But the crazy crazy party
Never seen so many people
Laughing dancing
Look at you you’re having fun
But look at me
I’m almost cryin’ . . .
Misery cause for me the party’s over
Turn out the lights…

The Knickerbockers on Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Lies, lies, you’re telling
Me that you’ll be true
Lies, lies, that’s all
I ever get from you

You think that
You’re such a smart girl
And I’ll believe what you say
But who do you think you are
Girl, to lead me on this way, hey

Lies, lies
I can’t believe
A word you say
Lies, lies
Are gonna make
You sad someday
