Jen 'Circle Back' Psaki Drops Big News About Fleeing the Sinking Ship
2021-05-08
[Red State] White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dropped a big bomb during an interview that she did with David Axelrod on his podcast.

Turns out she’s planning on fleeing the sinking ship fairly soon.

According to Mediaite, Psaki told Axelrod that she would be leaving the Biden team soon during an hour long interview.
Psaki’s comments came during a conversation with host David Axelrod (with whom she worked during the Obama administration) that she is undaunted by the challenge and the responsibility (which she says she loves), but when she discussed the role with the Biden transition team, it was about serving roughly a one-year term. "I think it’s going to be time for somebody else to have this job, in a year from now or about a year from now," she said.

Translation: take this job and shove it, I didn’t get how bad it would be to have to keep justifying this guy and his continuous gaffes.

Now Mediaite tries to help her out, claiming that only serving a year wasn’t "that out of the ordinary," noting that the Trump Administration went through four press secretaries. But funny, how when that was happening, some in media attacked that as showing disarray.

#7  The Circle Jerk Sessions kind of wrote themselves.

I'd go with Ian Gordan, put a little bit more positive glow on policy reports.

#6  has she ever "circled back" to one of those punted semi-difficult questions?

If you are suggesting that this is merely a cheap rhetorical trick to avoid answering questions, I would like to HEY LOOK, A SQUIRREL!!

#3  Good luck to her successor. But then, I'm afraid there are plenty of reptiles out there who are ready, willing and able to stand at the podium and lie as well as Psaki.

#2  Oh, they won't let go of the gummint teat, but Mama G will shift them from one arm to the other while they continue to suckle contentedly...

#1  Certainly not an intergalactic exile, but if she promises to not resurface, one I can live with.

Hopefully others within the administration will choose to follow her lead.
