From : Comey: I’m not making fun of the president
Excerpt from Comey's NPR book-selling interview:
"I'm not making fun of the president. I'm trying to be an author, which I've never been before in my life," Comey says. "While I'm typing, I can hear my editor's voice ringing in my head, 'bring the reader with you. Show them inside your head. Bring them with you.'"
"'Describe the president's hands?'" NPR Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep responded. "Can you hear the editor saying that?"
"No, but that was on my mind," Comey says. "And by the way, not that this matters, but I found his hands to be above average in size, and so I'm not making fun of the man, I'm trying to tell the reader what's in my head."
