Watching Jennifer Psaki right now.

I can't remember the last time I witnessed complete, total and utter.competency personified at this level.

I hope future communications majors, journalism majors, and their instructors are paying attention.

Additionally, I hope our party elders are paying attention as well.

I remember thinking I couldn’t wait for her to come on and tell us what’s going on. She’s that kind of person. The kind you trust to interpret the facts in a reasoned and thorough way. She can be trusted. We’re lucky to have her!

whose names should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as hers.

Hopefully when she leaves this gig she will consider running for office as her ability to handle herself under intense scrutiny is clearly demonstrated every time she stands before the press.

Awrded the Medal of Freedom for competence in political communication and rhetoric?

As I said in my OP...I can't remember the last time I witnessed competence and respect for the principle of responsible communications...and I've been voting since 1980.

He should continue the course and be glad that he didn't make the decision to send in more of Americans' sons and daughters and incur more casualties than this.

I watch Psaki & wait just for that head tilt before a pause & zeroing in on the kill.

She is so perfectly attuned to every moment in her press conf.

I will say this however, and it may get me a "head tilt, before the kill" from some.

It is A LOT easier to do your job as Press Secretary, when you don't have a complete idiot lying piece of shit as your boss. I still have my old criticisms of Biden from years ago, but I will never stop saying that Joe Biden is a thoroughly, fundamentally decent human being and if he can give you all of the awful truth without damaging you or the National Security, he will do so. He cares about people in a deep deep way, and conveying his messages in a more intellectual and cogent way HAS to be easier than explaining the ramblings, contradictions, and utter nonsense of a 24 times accused sexual offender, narcissist, sociopath.

Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders were both put in impossible situations, and their discomfort was palpable.

Kayleigh was the exception. An obvious sociopath with no conscience whatsoever, she was in her element, defending someone just like her!

I hated her more than I hated the other two put together, for just that reason. They were despicable, but also pitiable in a way. Kayleigh, otoh, was a snake. A totally cold-blooded, extremely dangerous and venomous snake, and the only pity she inspired in me was for those who come into contact with her.

She is the prime example of how

to effectively control the messaging

for the administration.

All the surrogates should take note

and maintain that level of

grit and competence.

That was a beautiful day, with many highlights, but it capped it for me.

Intelligence, grace, wit, she has it all.

I want her to go far. Her country needs her in whatever capacity she takes on.

Rachel Maddow has been doing her show for years and is getting burned out. She's thinking about a weekly format or pod cast or something maybe in a year. Jenn is saying she'll only do a year or so. What if...?

On second thought Jenn wants to spend more time with her kids so likely wouldn't take on those kinds of demands. Oh well, nice dream.

She doesn't appear to suffer fools and I'd prefer to see her debating the Chuck Toads of the world.

Perhaps the Democratic Party should consider forming a Bullshit Response Committee which would be responsible for providing real time responses to wingnut claims ...

Jennifer could be the consultant and occasional public commentator.
