Jen Psaki appreciation thread. Bye Jen, we are going to MISS you!

Look forward to watching you on TV, but the selfish part of me wants you in that Press Room dealing out the facts like they need to be. I know Karine will do great, but she has some big shoes to fill! Thank you for all that you have done!

I guess he must have got used to it, or perhaps even derived pleasure from the pain and humiliation.

Ms Psaki is the best I can remember.

Of the Press Secretary’s office. She didn’t lie, she didn’t attack the Press Pool, and she didn’t demean America’s allies. She gracefully represented the White House with class and honor.

We salute you ma’am, for a job well done!

24. And thus dies the comedy team of Psaki and Doocey
Fri May 13, 2022, 11:31 AM

Few could deliver a set up like Peter Doocey. Most viewers thought Doocey was actually sincere in his questions.
Few could respond with razor sharp one liners like Jen Psaki.

Look for a bright career for Jen Psaki.
Let's hope someone adopts Peter Doocey and gives him a good home.

Relationship at an event sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. Psaki said "I understand that he’s coming there to ask questions every day that are important to report and the outlet he works for, and I respect that, and we have healthy debates and discussions,
it doesn’t mean I agree with his line of questioning on most days,”
Very gracious Ms Psaki.

On another note this would make a great plot for a Hallmark channel movie... or not..

Pure and simple. I could go on watching her as Press Secretary forever because she is the best ever. But I watch MSNBC all the time so I'll get to hear her wisdom. Good Luck always Jen but you don't need luck because you've got BIG skills

Everyone to follow will be measured by her performance.

Thank you Jen! We owe you an awful lot for bringing press briefings back to normalcy...and in fact instilled credibility and civility where it was totally void.

I live you! You are right up there with President and First Lady Obama...and Biden. You served your country well.
