Jen Psaki is brilliant!

My wife teases me that "The West Wing" is my favorite fairy tale.

C.J. Craig was one of the best press secretaries EVER. Yeah, I know, fiction.

However, Ms. Psaki is many levels better because she's the real thing.

You go, lady.

I wonder whatever came of that. I’ll go ask Google

Ok update: google said
http://hbom.ax/VoteBecauseFB.

Update update: didn’t work. I may be there but I don’t have HBO so I can’t search for it. Maybe somebody else you can.

Anyway, I totally agree with you, she is brilliant and she does remind me of CJ but even better because she’s real.

Martin Sheen was very impressive. And I loved the special scaled down music by W G Snuffy Walden..

Those who are a tad more quick to throw Biden under the bus. POTUS couldn't have picked a better press sec.

High marks for Jen to this very day.

12. And what a line-up it was!

First was Sean ("I'll Never Tell a Lie, er, the Truth!" ) Spicer: see: size of Inauguration crowd........

Then, the BATTLE AXE - Sarah Sanders ("Go ahead, try to ask me something that makes my 'boss' look bad and I'll bite your head off!" )

After she left we got Stephanie Grisham. She's best remembered for (she NEVER held a single press conference!).

And FINALLY (as in "THANK GAWD it's OVER!) - Kayleigh McEnany. She DID hold conferences but they were more like skirmishes with the enemy, the free press - but she was always armed with that little gold cross around her neck - as if that made everything that she was saying sound believable.

MY GAWD, it's a HALL OF FAME from the man who hired ONLY THE BEST!!!!!!
