State Department Barbie: She’s Come Undone

Okay, I ignored your complaints at first. I resisted your demands that the spokesmouths for the State Department be demoted from their JV status to intramural. However, based on this recent statement by Marie Harf –  darling of the Mo Beta Sorority of the Traveling Pants – I’ve been forced to reconsider my position:

Thursday at the daily briefing, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf declined to acknowledge ISIS’ declaration of war with the Untied States of America.

When a reporter said,”The reality is ISIS has announced it’s in a war against America,” adding, “Right or wrong that is what they are saying.”

Harf replied, “Well, they can say whatever they’d like, but what I am making clear is that’s not what ISIL represents. And they don’t represent any religion. They are at war with everybody they come into contact with.”

Now, before you all pile on State’s Ms. Harf, let me point out that she’s only 33 years old – which translates to about 14 in sorority-girl years. How much intellectual maturity can you expect, really?

“Well, you can say whatever you’d like, but what I am making clear is that there’s no ‘I’ in ISIS and your insistence that it stands for ‘Islamic’ does not change that fact.”

I’m as mystified as you; I don’t know how Marie got her job as Deputy State Department Spokesperson either. Maybe - like Tommy “Hey Dude that was like two years ago” Vietor and Anita “From Campaign Driver to top Obama aide” Breckenbridge -  she used to drive Big Guy around too. Apparently chauffeuring is a real resume builder and a great career path:

This should remind readers that the boyish and immature Tommy “Hey Dude, that was like two years ago” Vietor also went from driver/flunky to a top post at the National Security Council.

No military, geopolitical, diplomatic, intelligence experience required.

Apparently a good driving record and the ability to spend hours with Obama in a car are what qualifies one for the great responsibility of running and defending our nation.

My only other issue concerns Weasel’s original source for this report: Breitbart. Is this a Freudian slip, or political commentary?

“Thursday at the daily briefing, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf declined to acknowledge ISIS' declaration of war with the Untied States of America.”

It could just be Freudian, on the other hand, one might argue that we are starting to come undone:

While Harf is undoubtedly following talking points directly from the White House. (I don't think Kerry is smart enough to make his own talking points and is just bumbling around the world trying to do something important while being seen as a fool by world leaders.) That said she is an obvious liberal nitwit. She and Jen Psaki are typical spoiled brat liberals who have neither the experience nor intelligence to do their jobs, but got their positions for being loyal political activists for Obama.

Imagine the frustration of being a career diplomat or foreign affairs specialist with years of experience and likely advanced academic degrees working in a State Department run by Hillary or Kerry and where the people in power are airheads like Harf. It also begs the question why there are no men in these State Department positions. Perhaps Hillary had a purge of the male sex.

My hair-lip dog can bark her last name.

Post of the day! Thanks for that.

[GeronL]

She is par for the course these days. Makes Obama feel smart being surrounded by idiots.

BUMP!

It's an epidemic of stupidity

“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”

I have been owned by a number of cats and know that to be a fact. ;-)

Harf replied, “Well, they can say whatever they’d like, but what I am making clear is that’s not what ISIL represents. And they don’t represent any religion. They are at war with everybody they come into contact with.”

Sounds more like a spokesperson for ISIS/ISIL than for the State Dept.

[VerySadAmerican]

Has anyone ever been fired from this administration?

[kevkrom]

That’s not Barbie, that’s Chris Hayes in a blonde wig.

[hal ogen]

I agree. Further, vacuums have feeling, too. We all must be more “sensitive”.

[RinaseaofDs]

I would too. (Nice tagline!)

[tcrlaf]

Both Harf and Psaki are the laughingstocks of the world, at this point.

Search either of them on Twitter, it is quite enlightening.

Thanks. The tagline is an original quote I coined in 2004 or 2005, when I saw from a long way off where we would be in 2014.
