While I occasionally quote Fox’s Bill O’Reilly when he and I are on the same page on an issue, but it isn’t often I can say I scooped him, but I did and I owe it to my daily observation of the news as it’s breaking. O’Reilly has been the top-rated show in his time slot for 14 years. Quite an accomplishment.

On the Sept. 2, 2014 edition of the O’Reilly Factor, while interviewing Fox’s state department correspondent James Rosen, O’Reilly criticized Jen Psaki, State’s spokesperson, remarking that she was “way out of her depth” following days of mixed messages. “It just doesn’t look like she has the gravitas for that job,” he added. Earlier in the day, Psaki was unwilling to say we were at war with ISIS. We’re dropping bombs from aircraft, firing missiles from drones, and we’ve sent 1,000 troops there … if not war, what is it?
Mary Harf is Psaki’s assistant at the State Department.
With that, for those of you who may have missed it, go back in the archives of this blog to my posts of July 20, 2014, It’s amateur time in Washington. In that post I not only told you about Psaki, but her assistant Mary Harf, the two visible amateurs at State.
Harf attempted to defend Psaki the next day, calling O’Reilly sexist. If she had done her research, or watched this highly-rated show as someone in her position should, she would know that he similarly criticized Josh Earnest, spokesman for the White House.
How was Psaki able to keep her position when earlier this year, she was unable to reel off a single accomplishment of Hillary Clinton?
Hey Bill …. that’s one for Kramer.
