No, it is long past April first and while this is a joke, it seems that the current administration has once again provided evidence that they are at best delusional. On May 27th it was announced that Marie Harf will, as of June 1st, be the senior adviser for strategic communications to (American gigolo) Secretary of State John Kerry. There, she will “continue her work leading on the Iran negotiations communications strategy.”
Maybe the idea is to so flummox the Iranians at the next round of negotiations that they will be rendered speechless. The sheer stupidity of this woman, the fact that she is a laughing stock throughout America, and that she is referred to as a Barbie doll or a bimbo should be enough to assign her to a low profile role. Well, her appointment might get the mullahs laughing at the un-seriousness of it, but my bet is that they are will be stunned speechless.
Seriously, Marie Harf. Although not technically a Valley Girl she sure fits the stereotype. This is a woman who actually said in February of this year regarding the State Department’s strategy toward the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (aka Islamic State, or IS), “We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs—”. Seriously, she said that. So Marie, what is it about killing the enemy that prevents one from winning a war? Those fighting in the service of ISIS (or IS if you prefer), seem to think they have jobs – in fact they do. They are not interested in money or career opportunities. They only want opportunities to pillage, rape, murder, and so forth. That is their job from their perspective.
Well, we all knew that Marxism was all the fashion with this lot – now we not only have Karl Marxism we have the Marx Brothers kind of Marxism at the State Department. The latter form of Marxism is embodied by the clueless Marie Harf. ARRGH! (or Harf if you prefer).
I am reminded of Lilly Tomlin’s remark that “no matter how cynical you get around here, it is never enough.” We thought it was bad before, now the only question to occur to those with more than two brain cells between their ears is “who was she shagging?”
Harf is a fool who has done what she was told and has looked idiotic, doing it.
As facts ooze out slowly through the cracks, this Administration’s incompetence will turn out to have been more damaging than anyone could have anticipated.
How Clinton and Obama can hold their heads up when reveals like the following appear, speaks to their narcissistic nature, . . . “Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton’s State Department”
No chance that Obama and Jarrett didn’t know.
Hey, it ain’t easy finding someone that, on the one hand, is smart enough to memorize all the crap she is told to tell the media and, on the other hand, so damn dumb as to not know the difference between fact or fiction and, thus, deliver her verbal vomit with a straight face.
The lunatic fringe self selects for the new normal.
Disconcerting.
And of biblical proportions.
The last time I heard the name “Harf” was just before my cat left something on my kitchen floor.
Not only was my cat’s harf less disgusting than Obama’s Harf, it was easier to clean up after.
The Clinton’s have shown little interest in personal wealth accumulation. Yes their foundation(s) have taken in about 2 billion dollars yet they spend little on themselves. They own 2 houses that they paid a total of 5 million for, with the last purchase being about 10 years ago. No planes or mega boats and we don’t see her draped in expensive jewels. When, sorry, IF she wins the 2016 election she will get a yearly salary equal to what she could earn at 1 or 2 speaking engagements.
You think those mere gaffs are bad….take a look at her on THIS one!
During the video she ADMITS the UN schools that found rockets and launchers in Gaza turned them back over to HAMAS!
Then she had the nerve to try to spin that into not giving Hamas another chance to kill Israelis with them!
The video is amazing.
@Nanny G:
Obama seems to have a talent for hiring, and putting into important positions, hipsters like Marie Harf. Remember Tommy Vietor (who looks like a character out of an animated robot movie) who was the spokesperson for the National Security Council? The “dude?” guy?
I guess Obama has to try to find people to work for him that are so totally incompetent that by comparison, they make him look semi-competent.
@retire05:
Incompetent and insecure people always hire “weaker” than themselves.
Jarrett and Obama have done that 100% of the time to ensure that all their orders, which are strictly politically motivated, get followed. They also have demanded that all these mouthpieces refer constantly to “THE PRESIDENT” — so that he always appears on top of everything. Jarrett is a hateful human being, and she’s got an iron handle on the underlings.
She controlled everyone, including Hillary, but she could NOT prevent the graft of Hillary and Bill.
The Valley Girl is just one more indication of the lack of seriousness Obama brings to his job.
@retire05:
That started with Biden — the whole thing had been exposed prior to 2008 election
@James Raider:
Val J. >>Through the Iranian connection — Humma Weiner – I am sure!
PS – I am sure you meant “couldn’t” instead of “could”
PPS — On second thought maybe she “controlled” some of the graft!
@Budvarakbar:
Remember, Biden was the “wisdom” and “experience” part of the ticket.
@john:
Yeah, you can really tell how they shun the high-roller living. This is why 10% of that billion bucks is spent on their travel expenses.
Yeah, all they have is a few million dollars in homes here and there. Of course, they don’t need to expend any of their OWN cash for private jets, five-star hotels or catered living… the Foundation is more than happy to pick up the tab. After all, it’s THEIR foundation. Someone else’s money, but their foundation.
The Clinton’s are the epitome of corruption and hypocrisy.
@Bill:
RIIIIGHT!!! __ he provided the ‘Gravitas’ — you know what that means? — when gravity catches up to the lead in your a$$!!!
@Bill:
And therefore have the admiration and envy of 47% of the ‘Murricans — wow – just look how well they have been working the ‘system’.
@john:
Yeah the Clinton’s don’t care about money the way a lion doesn’t care about meat.
