Refreshing? Try downright invigorating:
“She doesn’t get rattled. She doesn’t lose her cool.”
“She’s unflappable.”
Half of America is smitten with Jen Psaki, while a swath of the White House press corps sounds quite taken with how polite she is. https://t.co/uPC7DTfbvH

White House press sec Jen Psaki has yet to be caught in an unhinged lie or a spontaneous informercial. The bar is on the floor… but she’s cleared it.
But is the public too easily charmed by what you could call competence porn? My @washingtonian story: https://t.co/vWB5epI86z

Jen Psaki is a competence pornstar, you guys. Bow-chicka-wow-wow!
Reporters blindsided by the return of competence and civility to White House briefing room. https://t.co/7qbo2Q3LO3

Jen Psaki is eternally circling back to avoid giving straightforward, honest answers to questions, but doggone it, she’s civil.
No, seriously. That’s the argument:
big thanks to @jonkarl, @mmccurry, @peterbakernyt, @pdoocy, @maxwelltani, & the unnamed White House reporter who gave me this excellent quote: pic.twitter.com/dokCyKd6xK

So Jen Psaki makes reporters feel warm and fuzzy when she gives them the runaround. Erik Wemple actually needs a cigarette.

White House press briefings really are just giant circle jerks.
amazing how civil you can be when the press is on your side, not asking tough questions, allowing falsehoods to stand, rah rah rah-ing the new administration …

Now there’s a story, “press is happy when they don’t have to ask tough questions of the people they voted for and socialize with”.
There’s a reason why we don’t trust any of you.
