Karine needs to recognize Doocy for what he is

[867-5309.]

A gotcha performer with an agenda. Not a serious journalist who wants to ask a fair question and get a serious answer.

Jen came to understand this quickly and masterfully kept him off balance, constantly jabbing at his bias and Faux News employers. As soon as Karine comes to the same understanding, he'll get more of what he deserves. And that will happen quickly, imo.

1. Pretty sure she knows exactly what he is. She's just got to practice dancing with the crazies.

Jen was super good at it. I think Karine will get there -- she's smart and quick.

2. I would have hoped whoever the White House hired....

Would be capable of verbally jousting with Doocy and the other clowns from OAN. Ots not like this situation was unexpected. If not, that's a pretty big fuck-up thats going to generate negative headlines for Biden (I presume the White House Chief-of-staff does the hiring for this position).

3. What'd I miss?

4. No doubt she's capable of it

I just think when you first start you pretty much play it straight. As she experiences his shtick first hand she will begin to react accordingly.

5. Why is there a learning curve? She's been Psaki's back up.

6. Not everyone is as good at that as Psaki.

She was a master. You can’t expect everyone to have that skill set. Although that probably should have been a key trait to look for in a successor.

7. There's no reason to believe Karine can't be good at it

All I've seen of her before this job indicates she can have those kind of exchanges.

I think it's more about switching gears and getting her footing.
