CNN's Kate Bolduan to ex-CIA Phil Mudd: "You CAN'T call the Inauguration STUPID!"

I couldn't find the video on YouTube, so if you want to watch it, you'll have to go to the Raw Story link.

Responding to Trump’s threatening tweet aimed at fired FBI Director James Comey, Mudd laid into Trump saying he was way over his head if he thought he could use his bully pulpit to cow an agency that has been around since 1908.

Pressed by host Kate Bolduan to “get inside Trump’s head,” Mudd blistered the president.

“Believe me, I know this is going to sound facetious but I’m breathing a sigh of relief. You can’t take this seriously,” Mudd replied. ” “You could have taken this seriously from President Bush or President Obama, from President Bush’s father, from President Clinton. You can’t take this seriously.”

“You feel like you’ve got to give the president of the United States a pacifier and a rattle and put him in the crib. You’re threatening the FBI, who’s in the midst of an investigation of presidential aides?” Mudd added sarcastically. “The FBI’s been around since 1908. The president of the United States has been around for three and a half months. If you think you’re going to intimidate the former FBI director and the dozens of people in the workforce who are conducting this investigation with the Department of Justice, you’ve got another thing coming.”

1. The grammar police wants to tell Mudd that the phrase is

..."you've got another THINK coming."

2. I'm guessing that he's just into Priest

3. That phrase came later. "Think" was a sort of pun on the word thing.

It doesn't have anything to do with grammar anyway.

5. No, "think" was the original.

11. Cite, please.

6. When I was a kid,

I thought it was "another thing coming". It wasn't until I got older that I realized it was "think". I wonder how many people say "thing" instead of "think".

4. I sure hope he's right. I just wish they hadn't let him get this far. nt

7. Phil Mudd is a true American patriot.

8. He responded he wasn't calling the inauguration stupid, he was calling the claims about crowd size
