http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/11/trump-interview-james-comey-fbi-firing-238291Spicer missed the briefings Wednesday and Thursday while on Naval Reserve duty, but engaged in a heated argument with The Washington Posts national editor after the newspaper reported he hid in bushes Tuesday night outside the White House after doing a TV hit to defend Trumps firing of Comey.
One White House official said Spicer, who is set to return to the podium Friday, seemed more upset about that story than much of the terrible coverage Trump received.
Spicer said late Thursday that The Washington Post falsely described the situation and grossly misstated the situation around our attempt to brief the press.
A person familiar with the press secretarys location late Tuesday night said Spicer was standing between or behind bushes, but not physically in a bush.
More than 12 hours after the story ran, Spicer eventually secured an editors note. Spicer huddled with his staff among bushes near television sets on the White House grounds, not 'in the bushes,' as the story originally stated, the newspaper wrote.
The committee spokesperson declined to say whether any White House shrubbery would be asked to testify as to the whereabouts of Mr. Spicer relative to the shrubbery on the night in question.

It would have ended better if he'd just made a joke about it. No sense of humor.
