The position of White House Press Secretary can’t be a heck of a lot of fun. You’re dealing with uncomfortable questions from people who would love to see you stumble and fail – unless you’re in a Democrat administration. But a good Press Secretary has to be bright, well-informed, and able to think on their feet. I’ve seen a few of these people in operation, beginning with Ron Ziegler. I’ve seen some good ones and some bad ones. Tony Snow was a good one. Sarah Huckabee Sanders was a good one. Jen Psaki was a bad one, even when you factor in that she was in the position of having to defend the indefensible.
Karine Jean-Pierre is worse. She’s not suited for the job; she’s dishonest, not particularly articulate, and is prone to fits of pique when she’s expected to answer difficult questions, which is her job. But on January 20th, she’ll be unemployed. What will she do then?
A piece in the Daily Caller presents some ideas.
The consensus seemed to be that KJP, despite being considered by many to have performed poorly at her White House gig, will likely find safe harbor as a contributor on a cable news program, just like her predecessor Jen Psaki.
“She’ll go where all the other failed Hollywood actors go when they’re useless to the deep state: a cable chat show that exclusively exists to sell weird books and products to lonely women,” Daily Caller alum and media veteran Kay Hill said.
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck concurred, adding “I fully anticipate someone will hire her as a contributor, whether it be a return to MSNBC or even CNN.”
Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, jumped ship in 2022, leaving the Biden White House to host her own show “Inside with Jen Psaki” on MSNBC.
MSNBC? That’s an interesting notion. As I mentioned, she’s not really qualified to be press secretary; she’s dishonest, inarticulate, and thin-skinned. But MSNBC? Heck, she’s overqualified, if their current talent pool is any indication. […]
