Marie Harf passed over for promotion in favor of white male
American Thinker ^ | 4/23/15 | Thomas Lifson

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.

LMAO Padded headboards? Too funny.

And no, the padded headboards are NOT for young Marie's many, many football player [and future NFL hopeful] "suitors"...

Kirby will have to choose between lying on behalf of Obama or losing his job.

False dilemma as Kirby did a great job lying for the administration over at Defense.

The 2014 'Khorasan terrorist' threat for instance was a John Kirby production.

So if she loses her job, does that mean she’ll become a terrorist?

Thank you both for pointing out it was Jensaki that went to the White House. Poor Maria, not ready for prime time players.

December in WV three ladies, one brunette, one red head and one blond went hunting. After a while they come upon a set of tracks. The brunette stated , "dear tracks." The red head says, "bear tracks."

The blonde didn't speak, she was hit by the train.

Sorry.

Meanwhile Kirby gets his payback for being the mouth piece for Odumbo at the Pentagon.

Kirby is the quintessential officer that everyone hated because he was a smart ass suck up right from the start and was and is willing to prostitute himself for the illusion of success while screwing over all he comes in contact with. I'll bet he never went for a walk on deck alone after dark, ever.

-——he will be fine with lying for the administration.——

Meanwhile, he will be double dipping at a high level to after receiving bonuses will have his pensions enhanced considerably

He is being well paid to lie

Put an Admiral’s uniform on Harf and send her to the Pentagon briefing room.
