1. Biden Admin will miss her

Sounds like we will get to see more of her though!

[Escurumbele]

17. We will all miss her at that post, she is by far the best Press Secretary.

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. She will be missed. Chris Wallace said she is the

best in that job in years.

[lamp_shade]

3. Actually, AFAIC, she's the best EVER.

[Budi]

6. 👍💙

[NNadir]

13. Add me to what I am sure is a long list of people who agree.

[Celerity]

31. yes, or very close, here, in order of serving, would be my top ones

Hagerty was a Repub (the only one on my list), but was a vocal civil rights supporter, served the full 8 years, and also was Eisenhower's liaison on occasion with Senate, plus handled a lot of sticky situations.

[colorado_ufo]

40. That is how I feel, and I

have have lived long enough to have seen quite a few press secretaries!

[UTUSN]

8. Chris can't deny his betters!

[leftyladyfrommo]

10. I like him. Don't always agree but I think he really

tries to be an honest newsman.

[UTUSN]

11. We differ on this, but I seldom differ with you!

[leftyladyfrommo]

12. You can differ with me. It's fine.

It will be interesting to see just how Chris does now that he's gone from Fox. It might surprise all of us.

[momta]

14. The fact that TFG doesn't like him is good enough for me.

I don't agree with Chris Wallaces' politics, but I do think he tried to push back on some of Fox's more outrageous propaganda.

[leftyladyfrommo]

16. I think he really wants to be good at his job.

And he obviously didn't get along well at Fox because he did speak out.

He is still conservative but that may change.

[DFW]

20. Interestingly enough, Howard Dean told me the same thing over ten years ago.

And he usually has nothing good to say about ANYONE from Fox Noise.

[leftyladyfrommo]

21. Wow. Following in his father's foorsteps has to have

been challenging but I think he's done it.

[DFW]

25. I've known Howard for over 20 years. He doesn't make remarks like that casually.

My father was a celebrated Washington print journalist, even made it to the presidency of the Gridiron Club. He was cited in the Congressional Record by Congresscritters of BOTH parties for his fairness.

I was often asked why I didn't go into journalism. I said it was quite simply because his shoes were far too big for me to fill.

[leftyladyfrommo]

26. It's hard for kids to follow a famous parent.

I think that's why so many kids like that crash and burn.

Look at Tom Hanks' son? So many 9f those kids get really messed up. And they have too much money.

[DFW]

28. I didn't even try

Maybe if I had had too much money, I would see things differently

[leftyladyfrommo]

30. Better off doing your own thing. nt

I don't think a lot of those kids even try. They seem to go for joining rock bands and doing a whole lot of drugs.

They spend so much of their life searching.

I don't understand why they don't see that they could do things completely differently than their famous parents and build a really good life for themselves.

But I haven't ever been wealthy and my family is just regular folks so I probably don't really understand their predicament. Can you imagine being Madonna's daughter? Or a child of any of those narcissistic assholes. It's tough.

[DFW]

44. I've seen it close up enough times

One of my best friends happens to be a genius at business and investing. He just has the right instincts, bought Tesla and Apple when they were pennies, bought a percentage of a firm in its infancy for no money but helping out by lending his organizational skills in return for a percentage of the company. It was just sold for hundreds of millions, so he is made for life.

His two kids are between messed-up-and-recovering and messed-up-and-a-basket-case. I don't know if it helped or hurt that he told them he would leave them both $1 million each in his will, and he was donating the rest to non-profits, such as educational foundations, cancer research, etc.

I had a schoolmate while I was in grade school with a REALLY famous father. His name was Bobby Kennedy, Jr. He was a really nice kid, as I remember, but ended up with plenty of issues of his own.

On the other hand, I think of Chelsea Clinton, Obama's daughters, the Hamilton kids (Watergate prosecutor who made good), and know that plenty of prominent parents took the time and effort to do parenting the right way. Not all kids of prominence turn out to be Trump spawn.

[calimary]

37. Our loss is the network's gain.

Hopefully she’ll be reporting on or commentating on the White House. Her perspective will be MOST valuable!

[Budi]

4. Anyone hear who'll take her place as press secretary?

Just asking..thanks

[2naSalit]

5. April fools?

[UTUSN]

9. I wish, because she's absolutely needed where she is, later as a candidate.

I hope I fell for a 4-1 joke.

[USALiberal]

7. I'll love a show with her!!!

[James48]

15. APRIL FOOLS!

[calimary]

38. I HOPE it's April Fools!

[librechik]

18. Please don't, Jen Psaki!

You are magnificent and unique in that WH position. Please, we need you!

MSNBC will always be there for you.

Nevertheless, YOU only get one more chance to save democracy.

[FailureToCommunicate]

19. Nope...

I heard it was to work for FOX.

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. She would last half a day on Fox. nt⁸

[robbob]

23. Punching bag?

Not so sure I like that description. A punching bag that punches back. Hard.

[BobTheSubgenius]

24. I can't imagine this being anything but a loss for honesty in politics, and America in general.

Even the whole world. I commend her replacement, whoever that might be, for taking the job. She casts a huge shadow.

[leftyladyfrommo]

27. I saw where someone else was up there talking and

she was good, too.

[BobTheSubgenius]

46. Excellent.

Thank you for the encouraging news.

[leftyladyfrommo]

47. I didn't catch her name. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

48. No matter. If she's a "keeper" we'll know it soon enough.

Here's hoping....

[JanMichael]

29. Has a US press secretary ever lasted a full four years?

I don't really recall any of them lasting that long.

[Celerity]

33. here are the longest tenures

[JanMichael]

35. Ever since 1993 since Marlin Fitzwater no one's gone over 4 years.

Almost 30 years. I wonder what makes this last 30 years so special? A changing media?

[calimary]

39. Wow - look at that. Wall-to-wall men.

She beats them all.

[MissMillie]

32. Didn't she tell us last year that she'd only stick around the WH for a year or so?

This just confirms that, right?

[Nittersing]

43. Yeah, I remember hearing she would just stick around for the first year. nt

[SmallFry]

34. I wish her the best.

She has served the administration extremely well. The stark difference between her and TFG's people.....

Thank you Jen!

[Joinfortmill]

36. Good luck to her replacement. This woman is a rock star.

[iluvtennis]

41. Ditto. Psaki is a badass! n/t

[SheltieLover]

42. Rachel's time slot?

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[BComplex]

45. That's what I was wondering! Rachel has been sorely missed, even though Ali Velshi is

as always, doing a great job.

But, yeah, Jen Psaki would rock that slot in Rachel's absence.
