Fired FBI director James Comey -- who is, according to the president, a big time "showboat" who loves attention -- has executed perhaps the most unyielding poker face of all time. At his own hearing.

And the internet noticed.

Seriously, in the early stages of the proceedings, the dude didn't change his face at all. Not even with dozens of cameras in his face. Not even when Mark Warner said "nutjob," which -- full disclosure -- brought me dangerously close to a spit take.

He's clearly taken Lady Gaga's immortal message to heart.

Ugh, what a showboat!
