Sorority Social Chairwoman Promoted to WH Communications Head
2015-02-19

Peter Principle => Fail Upward
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki will become President Barack Obama's new communications director, filling a key slot as Obama embarks on the final two years of his presidency, White House officials said Thursday.

She replaces veteran Democratic media strategist Jennifer Palmieri, who is leaving the White House to join Hillary Rodham Clinton's likely presidential campaign. Psaki will step into her new role April 1.

In a statement, Obama embraced Palmieri as a "good friend" friend and praised her as a "brilliant and effective communications director and trusted adviser."

"I'd say Jen is irreplaceable - if Jen Psaki hadn't agreed to step in," Obama said. "I fully trust Jen - and I am thrilled she's agreed to come back to the White House as communications director."

Psaki will be returning to the White House where she helped craft Obama's message during the president's first term. She has been part of Obama's team since 2007, when she was traveling press secretary during his first presidential campaign

#7  #4 "'I'd say Jen is irreplaceable...' Obama said." How about this?:

Doorknob is an appropriate image. I might add another, the doormat since Jen, "The Sorority Girl" will apparently accept any dirt that comes her way.

#5  As Instapundit said, this is not the Peter Principle. She is already beyond her level of incompetence.
