Jen Psaki . . . . how refreshing

[Stinky The Clown]

A few minor stumbles but her Day One was a 9.5 out of 10.

She did a good job of shutting down the nascent assholes while being perfectly polite.

1. this is going to be great

I didn't realize how badddddddddddd it was

I mean I know but the contrast is just WOW

[Thekaspervote]

2. Yes..she did

[NJCher]

3. so sorry I missed this

anybody know who broadcast it? Maybe if it was on one of my regular shows, it got DVR'd.

A friend just called to ask if I'd seen it. Said, like in a state of shock, "It was so normal."

[Wounded Bear]

5. MSNBC had all of it...nt

[NJCher]

6. Thanks!

eom

[Wounded Bear]

4. Good job!

[ananda]

7. She is excellent!

Articulate, forthright, and even verbose in a
political kind of way.

What a refreshing change!

8. she, ummm did great, ummm, at providing answers when she had

ummm actual information.

but when questioned about other things she will "circle back".

If she says that there were "learnings" I swear I will throw something at my TeeVee.

Gen X speak annoys me.

[BannonsLiver]

11. It'll be alright.

[Brother Buzz]

9. A really really minor gripe....

but she should score a pair of press barrettes and let her hair be.

I know, picky, picky picky

[Polly Hennessey]

12. I noticed the hair flicking. I am pretty sure she

will correct. Also, sure there will be less ummmms. It is only Day One.

[Brother Buzz]

18. I don't disagree

I suspect she'll also get coached on how to go to the position binder seamlessly.

That being said, she is a breath of fresh air and I like her.

13. After the hell we've been through the last 4 years, I don't care what she does with her hair.

She has a pleasant face, I had an instinctively positive response to her. I have every confidence she'll be great.

[BannonsLiver]

10. But! But! What about her rising voice intonation!1111

inspired by another thread.

[TrogL]

19. Yeah, and her mascara

[spinbaby]

14. Nice to see a woman who is not a bimbo

The Trump administration seemed to prefer women who were “sexy” in the sleaziest possible way.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Okay, I read all the replies to this point

1. Chill

2. It was Day One

3. We all have our tics. The pros learn to control them.

4 I will bet my best pair of bunny slippers she had a spotter with the sole job of spotting the same shit some of us did to let her know ow it all came off.

I'm good with what she did. I find her a breath of fresh air. I predict, however, hair style adjustments until she finds what works and a shedding of her stash of ummms.

Just because, I will raise her score from 9.5 to 9.65.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. Yeah, but she didn't call anybody a liar or even "fake". That's the job, isn't it?

[Jarqui]

16. I thought she was very good

The woman knows her stuff and is very sharp.

She had been on the job for only a few hours. I thought some of the questions were kind of unfair - so much in such a short period of time. I realize she prepped during the transition.

That was fairly intense questioning and I thought she handled it very well.

Having someone to handle those things that well will help Joe.

I could not help but think of Sean Spicer's first day - lying about the Inauguration crowd size.

I think Joe has had a great day from the start to the present.

17. Compared to what we've been stuck with,

it was the best news conference ever.

[winstars]

21. Guessing she won't be calling on the OAN crazy anytime soon???
