1 Faithful Champ operative who's husband is a DNC financier. Of course we can find her a good job over at State. She can be trusted.

Dim bulb personality, possibly. Dim bulb motive for selection, never.

2 Former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul was considered a lightweight who spent more time on Twitter than on actual diplomacy.

And how is Psaki any different than McFowl--other than maybe more incompetent and dimmer. Obama's Cyclop's strategy for a legacy seems to be to surround himself with the blind.

3 Foggy Bottom is also a good resting place for Klingon analysts who find it 'difficult to play well with others.'

4 Psaki is the very face of the NPR-listening pseudointellectual class. Majored in some BS humanities/social science field, has no morals beyond attaching herself to some political insider power and parroting the party line.

When asked what Hillary Clinton's specific accomplishments as Secretary of State had been, she mouthed ridiculous vague platitudes about improving the plight of women and children. Pressed further, she as much as admitted she couldn't articulate a single thing.

If you go to DC, you see thousands like her. Not-very-bright, poorly informed and poorly educated women with eyes wide and glassy from their proximity to power. Lawyers, political "scientists", Howard Zinn "history" majors, sociologists, and the like, all sucking up to the bureaucracy in order to gain a little power and wealth by osmosis.

Anyone want to bet Psaki couldn't fix a tire, skin a buck, make a quilt, cook a meal for eight, or understand calculus or basic statistics, or have an intelligent, mature discussion about centralization vs dispersal of authority?

And yet she is the very picture of what the education industry says should be considered as a successful woman.

5 The word ‘pindos’ in Russian is highly offensive

There's an offensive word in Spanish that looks close to that, btw.
