+1 Nuremburg defence.

You sure got words. I approve.

She’s not even ignorant of the lies, she’s knowingly and consciously parroting lies and therefore lying. The lady hath no excuse.

Ah, the good ol’ “I was just following orders!” defense...

This is absolutely her rationalization. She views herself as a sort of human tape-recorder, and therefore not subject to things like ethics or morals.

“It certainly bothers me,” she said of the “liar” rap. “Because one of the few things you have are your integrity and reputation.”

That’s a good daughter of an evangelical guvnor from Arkansas fer ya! Huckabillies seem to skirt the truth learned from their Doctorate of Divinity daddy, if Baptists confer that degree, even when the son is a sociopathic dog killer. Cover it up quick then skirt the truth with scriptures.

It would probably be helpful for Sanders if she was suffering from psychopathy, but unlike her boss I’m not getting that from her. A psychopath can often fabricate the most horrendous of lies with little, if any, additional toll on their mental and physical states. No, the stress cracks are showing through and there…

When Sanders says that she doesn’t quite follow, she’s lying to you. She does follow because it’s not a difficult point to grasp and, while mendacious, combative, and amoral, she is not dumb.

I think her basic “logic” is this: I’m told nonsense & bullshit. I have to repeat nonsense & bullshit. Even though I know it’s nonsense & bullshit, in order to keep my “job”, I have to repeat nonsense & bullshit. I don’t have to be convincing because I am only supposed to repeat nonsense & bullshit. Therefore, I am…

So she’s not a liar, she’s an ignoramus.

At least Spicer had enough of a conscience to look uncomfortable when he did the daily lie time. SHS delivers every response with a barely subliminal “Fuck You.” She can piss up a rope with this poor little me bullshit.

And now we’ve gone the full Orwell. Welcome to the Minsitry of Truth Sarah, they’ve been waiting for you.

If you limit it to her last briefing.

Only five minutes?

What I still do not get is why the Press Corps members do not fire back at her in a *meaningful* and *forceful* manner that actually elicits some angry responses. I understand that they are there by invite, and that they would be jeopardizing the opportunity to cover the press briefings. But at this point...after all…

Essentially, she’s offering the Albert Speer defense. In his memoir, Speer claimed to have known nothing of the millions of murders ordered by Hitler of Jewish people, Slavs, Romany people, gays, Russians, and so very many others. Speer also made it clear that he was advised to know nothing of what was going on in the…

“Because one of the few things you have are your integrity and reputation.”

Hey David, can you make it a project to do a Super Cut of all the times SHS has said something along the lines of “I am unaware” or “you’ll have to ask the President that”?

“She’s no liar, but rather the most poorly informed White House press secretary in recent history, if not ever.”

We shouldn’t leave out the third alternative, which is that she’s unbelievably fucking stupid. Personally, I think it’s a combo of all three of these things.
