We have followed the performance of Marie Harf as a spokesman for the Obama administration foreign policy at the State Department. Harf gives the catastrophic foreign policy of the Obama administration a lighter than air, Valley Girl kind of feel. She is a walking self-parody. As such, she presents a novel use of expressive form.
Now comes word that Harf is being promoted to Senior Advisor for Strategic Communications to Secretary of State John Kerry. Like a helium filled balloon, Harf ascends. In her new position Harf will focus on negotiations between the U.S. and Iran on nuclear weapons. It sounds like a joke, but FOX News reports it as fact.
Harf has givesn us Obama administration foreign policy doctrine reduced to its talking points. Harf is a dim bulb and the complete authorized version of the doctrine according to Barry shines none too brightly to begin with. Reduced to talking points and subject to questions, the doctrine is quickly reduced to parody. Thus Marie Harf.
AP diplomatic correspondent Matt Lee mercilessly grilled Harf in her State Department press briefings. Will Lee still have Harf to kick around in her new position? I believe he will. So at least we have that.
In the video below Harf spoke up for UNRWA, the United Nations organization whose good works in Gaza included the hosting and return of Hamas missiles found in UN schools. During the latest conflict with Israel several sets of missiles had been found in UNRWA schools and returned to the authorities in Gaza (i.e., Hamas).
Harf had arrived at the briefing with a prepared statement explaining the situation to her satisfaction. Lee interrogated Harf on the internal contradictions that Harf had, ah, failed to discern in her statement. This is merciless comedy exposing error and pretension.

One explanation could be that she’s good on her kneepads?????
Why do I have the feeling that even Kerry sees that it’s past time for Blondy Ditz to go, and that this position change to something that appears to be higher ground is maybe no promotion, but for the powder puff title?
Strategic Communications, in her case, may mean laying out the meeting agenda onto the place settings of a conference table. You know, as in strategically laying out your knife and fork?
The poster child for the peutocracy [Purile Effite Urban Twits].
It is. The joke's on us.
Harf is not, of course, alone in her painfully unqualified approach to one of the higher offices in the land. Her boss Kerry is a prime example, and from him the chain of command goes to the Kenyan Klown himself, whose complete wreck of a foreign policy was no better under his previous minion Hillary. Power makes the wealthy wealthier and the rude, ruder, but stupid is forever.
Yeah, could be.
You can meet 50 Marie Harf’s at any downtown hipster bowling alley/bar. She’ll be drinking a PBR and talking about her favorite British rugby team that she started following when she spent time abroad.
“Basically we have children running the free world”
In a juvenocracy, “poopy-pants” is not a disability, it’s what’s for dinner.
Hey, next time post a harf alert, OK?
Why does the line from the Superman movie about Otis powering his legs to walk come to mind?
She’s the one drunk-dialing her ex-boyfriend and, when he doesn’t answer, having a weepfest on the shoulder of some guy who mistakenly thinks he is going to get laid. He’ll take a cab home and she’ll go home with the bouncer. Later her pics will show up on nekkidandpassedout.com.
She’ll swear off alcohol and start riding her $2000 bicycle to hookah places where she extols the virtues of paleo, Jamaica Blue Mountain, Sam Bush tribute bands, Linux Mint and flip phones.
I've been called on the carpet several times for "unprofessional remarks", such as when a female coworker objected to a reference I made to Moby Dick. She thought I was referring to my "package." She had never heard of the Melville novel, though she has multiple degrees.
I wonder how many cigars she’s smoked in the oval office?
Marie Harf: The “Kelly Bundy” of the Obama administration.
Oh! You’ve met her too!
I like Marie!! When people write to me about all the good the State Department is doing throughout the world, I send them a montage of this stupid, ideological half wit and hear no more. (Besides, if she dressed halfways decently I think she might have big tits).
Which is why she got promoted, again.
