Can I just say how nice it will be to be talked to by someone who won't be lying their ass off with that little shit eaters grin that Sanders and McEany have given us for all this time????????

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jen Psaki currently oversees the confirmations team for the Biden-Harris Transition. During the Obama-Biden administration, Psaki held several senior roles, including White House Communications Director, State Department Spokesperson under then-Secretary of State John Kerry, Deputy White House Communications Director and Deputy White House Press Secretary during the financial crisis. She is a veteran of three presidential campaigns having served as traveling press secretary during the Obama-Biden campaign in 2008, as traveling press secretary and senior advisor in 2012 and as deputy press secretary for John Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004. Psaki was a spokesperson at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006 when Democrats won back the House of Representatives and has also served as Communications Director to former Congressman Joe Crowley. Prior to joining the Biden-Harris Transition Team, Psaki was the Vice President for Communications and Strategy at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a CNN contributor. Psaki is a graduate of the College of William and Mary and lives in Virginia with her husband and two children.

1. How nice!

I do miss Melissa McCarthy's Sean "Spicy" Spicer though. I still pull up those videos when I need a good laugh!

3. I do feel sorta sorry for Saturday night live.

It’s going to be awful with a normal administration. Small price I know.

4. So true, they are going to have to get creative.

The skits won't just write themselves as they have been for 4 years.

I consider it a good problem to have.

9. Nice that the job's not going to another liar, BUT

I hope that Psaki's approach to the job has toughened up since she was featured in CNN's documentary "The End" which followed the final days of the Obama presidency.

Small thing, perhaps, but I was dismayed at her remark that she listens to "a little NPR and some podcasts" on her morning commute to the WH.

Biden's communications team really need to be a step ahead of the GOP circus, so she really must make room for listening to what right-wing-nut talk is trying to push to their listeners that morning.

10. Better, and tough enough, to just deal with reality.
