wow... has Perrino always been this much of a twit?
I stopped watching WH press breifing a long time ago and happened to turn it on this morning.

She's worse than Snow.
She keeps getting caught in lies and then gets all flustered and angry... and pulling out asinine justifications.

2. She is simply not as bright as Snow--he could lie with grace and ease, and
yet manage to keep the press on his side.

16. Snow had years of practice lying on Faux News
That's why he didn't get flustered when he spewed WH talking points. Perino is a rank amateur compared to Snow.

4. It's a prerequisite for working with the Republican
administration. They could never handle having a thinking person outside of their little decisin making clique of RW neocon assholes. Luckily for them, Dana Perino, like her predecessors, Tony Snow, Scott McLellan and Ari Fleischer fit the bill of yapping moron perfectly.

6. That would be a yes.
The Press Secretary position is now just a placeholder until BushCo leaves town.

10. It doesn't even matter what she says.
That staccato delivery, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing, just turns me off.

What a tool. Hope she's stashing away her big (publicly-funded) salary.

Idiot.

18. Hi, wienerdoggie? I really enjoyed the "Buffy" series.
I just didn't expect this noise coming from the White House.

People like Dana make me think that if I'd been more motivated, I could be Empress Ming.

12. Oh, I enjoy her. She reminds me a little
of a blonder, less sweaty Scotty. Stammering, flustered, and in way, way over her head.

You really have to give Snow his due. He was an absolutely perfect liar for them. Smooth as silk and sweeter than cotton candy.

Before the peroxide burned through to her brain she was able to make use of her frontal lobes.

21. Dana was the miserable little creep who would distract you from your office duties,
sneak into your office, and send incriminating crap under your login.

i hate these people.

17. It's hard to get good help when
the first job requirement is that they be willing to swim out to the Titanic.

19. Come on now has any of the press secretaries been anything
but a bush puppet. They only mouth the words uttered back stage.

26. She appears to be really struggling
with her answers, as though her conscience is bothering her. I often wonder how people deal with having to coach everything they say in such careful terms. She's intelligent enough to know she's not being truthful with the American people. I'm not sure how somebody comes to terms with a job that requires this level of dishonesty.

27. No, it's not all natural talent.
On-the-job training is important, too.

28. She's horrible.
I find her so much more distasteful than Tony Snow -- and that's saying a lot.
