Psakisms

I’ve always enjoyed watching Jen Psaki work, because it seems like it is always her first day on the job.

Asked why Joe Biden was flouting his own mask mandate at a political event, Psaki said the president of the United States of America has “more important” things to worry about.

Really? What, exactly, is the more important issue than COVID-19, right now? The nation awaits the news with breath held.

She also protested that the event was “a historic day in our . . . , uh, history,” pronouncing the words with that great inane raised-in-Greenwich look on her face.

I hope nobody asks her who is buried in Grant’s Tomb.
