THE REMARKABLE RISE OF MARIE HARF
PowerLine ^ | 5/27/2015 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 05/27/2015 9:24:27 AM PDT by RightGeek

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.

You’re looking at the future anchor of the NBC Nightly News there.

Being able to tell the most outrageous lies and keep a straight face is a much valued attribute with this administration.

We laugh, but she has a big paying job. As will land a job at a big media outlet making 10x what she is making now.

She’s actual a NYC performance artist. Just think of her press conferences as art.

We are all being harfed. This wench doesn't seem to understand, when her name becomes a verb, she just harfed herself.

Proof positive that there are people in this world capable of shutting down their brains and, at the same time, opening their mouths. The Joe Biden School of Comedy prerequisite for admission.

Promoted by Kerry to work with Kerry is appropriate. They reinforce each other’s delusion that each has a brain.

Make no mistake, Harf, if given the chance, would line up conservatives against a wall, and have them shot.

I was talking to a friend of mine who works in Washington: He was telling me Obama makes every military decision himself while ignoring his military advisors, the generals, vets , the only people he listens to are people like this ditz Harf or his Iranian side kick or whatever hipster sycophants he surrounds himself with. He never listens to the military vets or Generals. This is why Harf was saying stuff like “Ohmagawd, the terrorists just need jobs!” That’s how an Obama meeting goes, he surrounds himself in a room with people like this, adults with child-like minds who say this kind of stuff. Basically we have children running the free world and Congress does nothing about it.

Harf: “Like ohmagawd maybe we should send the terrorists video games to get their aggression like *totally* out”

Obama: “Marie that’s not a bad idea. How many X-boxes can we send?”

It's actually not that difficult for Maria. You see, she actually believes the lies she spews. That's what you get when you have people running the government with no real world experience, just government and their hallowed leftist halls of education. Callow is about the only descriptive word for her.

And a lot of blue collar Democrats don't like Valley Girls.
When Mr. Kerry implodes, Mz Harf would be found to be a well qualified appointment for Secretary of State.
Run, Mz Harf, like Run.
