This lady Sarah is just too much to take.

First of all, I am so sick of those stupid pearls she wears everyday. Someone needs to tell her they look like something an 80 year old grandma would wear and they make her neck look short.

Second of all, I am sick of her non-answer bullshit answers and her snotty delivery of nothingness.

Third of all, she looks angry all the time and behaves like a campy villain in a comic book.

Why the press even shows up for this kabuki theater is beyond me.

Sorry if I insulted anyone or said anything that in not PC, but I resent not being able to watch a normal White House press briefing and feel that have to change the channel to preserve my sanity.

My mother always taught me never to hit a lady. Once I asked what if she hit me first and she said if she hit you she's no lady.

I'm not saying I would hit SHS but if I did I would do so with the knowledge I am still within Mom's guidelines of proper behavior.

Literally no one in Donald Trump's cabinet or staff can be trusted to manage the drive-up window at a Dairy Queen, let alone perform the functions of their assigned jobs. None of them have any applicable experience or expertise. But Trump likes it that way. The ONLY thing he cares about is loyalty and kissing the ring.

prepackaged remarks and answers, but it would be minus those painful facial expressions. I have never seen a more miserable looking person at a podium. She always looks like she is about to vomit, which I guess in a sense she is, with the crap she spews forth.

At least Sean Spicer smiled and laughed in between the mandatory bullshit. I sensed a real rapport with much of the press pool. Not so with Sarah. Clearly, she hates her job, she hates the press, and probably hates her boss as well. Maybe she's writing a book?

I agree with all you say, by the way. She is the unhappiest looking representative from the White House, she is really miserable in her job.

The other day a younger friend looked at the TV as she was on. It was muted, as usual when she shows up. He said:
"Every time I see her I envision her horizontal. Slowly turning on a spit. Every time her sad face turns to the side I see the apple in her downturned mouth"

The ultimate purpose is to demean and degrade any professionalism previously seen in our government, thereby decreasing our people's trust and dependence on government. All a part of "drowning it in a bathtub".

The more modern way is to wear them long, and maybe even do a knot in them. Or choker style. But the June Cleaver thing is outdated...UNLESS you're wearing a v-neck blouse where just a hint of the pearls peeks through.

But I take your point; she always looks dowdy and frumpy, like she got her clothes and accessories at the consignment shop where the Duggar women sell their used clothing. You'd think that for an operation as image-conscious as the Trump White House they'd at least send her to a reputable fashion consultant. But the clothes aren't really the problem; nobody would even pay attention to them if she at least looked like a nice frumpy grandma. But she always seems angry and mean - a sort of Nurse Ratched who actually enjoys insulting people. Of course, that's the whole Trump vibe - mean, hostile, condescending and mendacious. She fits right in, and she'd still be mean, hostile, condescending and mendacious even if they dressed her in Vera Wang and Versace instead of Jacques Penné.

I know what you say is irrelevant and not p.c. but I completely agree with you, and as long as we're there..........
Her attire is atrocious, old fashioned and prudish.
Her necklace is very unflattering (doesn't Babs Bush always wear pearls?)
Her scowling countenance is very off-putting.
Her voice and speech mannerisms are annoying, and the context of her remarks is equally so.
