In other words: We prefer a bubbly, well-spoken liar to feed us bullshit that we will believe and never question yet publish to our viewers/readers.

Karoline Leavitt was efficient at defending a line. It was a pretty horrible line, and she had to bully, to shrug off questioners, to lie, but I can see that she helped the Administration out of some tight spots. Zacharia though... Scott Jennings might get a chance after all.

"It was her first day..." There is absolutely no way that this woman is salvageable in that role. There is nothing in that all time bad performance to indicate that she has any ability to communicate to the press.

Remember when WH press secretaries were good? Re: Josh Earnest: In an annual survey conducted by the Politico Magazine in April 2015, he was voted the most helpful press official in the Obama administration and the best White House press secretary by nearly 70 journalists.

And yet WH correspondents sat there like deer caught in the headlights instead of getting up and walking out at the insult of having her as "press secretary" - yeah... lets have another dinner celebrating...
