Poor Marie Harf! Shortly after attaining immortality by having her name become a verb, she suffered the ultimate indignity: her boss left, and a white male has been hired to fill the vacancy instead of promoting her. Jamie Crawford and Elise Labott of CNN report:
Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, will shift over to the State Department, according to a senior administration official.
In replacing Jen Psaki, who recently returned to the White House to serve as communications director, Kirby would be the first spokesman to have represented both the Defense and State departments.
Kirby, who is in the process of retiring from the U.S. Navy as a two-star admiral, was favorably regarded by the Pentagon press corps for the way he worked with reporters, in addition to his grasp of the myriad issues and challenges around the world impacting the Defense Department.
It is more than a little weird to have the former Pentagon spokesman now representing the State Department to the media. It raises all kinds of “diplomacy is war by other means” issues, but at least Adm. Kirby is retiring, so he won’t wear his Navy uniform while talking to the press, as he has done at the Pentagon.

If Garth and Mary Katherine Gallagher had a daughter...
This is just another example of the nefarious evil being perpetrated by that sexist, misogynistic, patriarch - Barack Hussein Obama.
It’s just another small part of his overall war on women.
John Rosen had interesting comments about Harf yesterday on Kelly file. One of his conclusion is that Harf got the shaft. After defending indefensible policies, she doesn’t get the job? Kelly and Rosen alluded that by bringing in an outsider, the State Department won’t have to defend Hilary’s email scandal.
Someone notify “Right Said Fred”!
New one hit wonder!
The Urban Dictionary has now listed “Harfing” as a verb: Harfing To say or assert something so patently stupid and preposterous as to generate widespread mockery.

Honestly, at this point in the historical arc of the Republic, could you really tell the difference?
Why would he let that stop him?
Will she be taking hostages?
Kirby will have to choose between lying on behalf of Obama or losing his job. That he has agreed to take it, after 6 years of seeing this administration in action, indicates he will be fine with lying for the administration.

“...Marie Harf may remain in the building to handle broader strategic communications ...”
“Marie, honey...make mine a double latte, decaf...”
Marie will make a good Starbuck’s barista…as long as they don’t order more than one cup.
LOL!
Aw I liked Harf. .......I hope they tell us where she goes.I laughed so much at her explanations I want to hear some more. She is Wilson’s quintessential reason why educrats need to be put in charge.
hehehe
Kirby has always struck me as being a quarter of a bubble off. Maybe, it’s just the water carrying job he was doing.
“I though there was an announcement a month or two ago that she was going to the White House press spokesman team”
You are thinking of the other half of the former dumb and dumber team, Jen Psaki. Her lapdog loyalty to Odumbo was rewarded with a White House Communications Director position.
“Kirby will have to choose between lying on behalf of Obama or losing his job. That he has agreed to take it, after 6 years of seeing this administration in action, indicates he will be fine with lying for the administration”
He is retiring from the Navy to take the job, he is a willingly lying POS.
Dang, twister - you made my morning!
