Just when you thought it was safe to take the State Department seriously again…
…Marie Harf is put in front of reporters.
Here, via excerpts from Chuck Ross’s article at dailycaller.com, is the latest example of what she brings to the table:
One question posed to Harf concerned an internal 2011 Department cable bearing Clinton’s e-signature informing staffers that for security reasons they are expected to use official email accounts to conduct business. As we know now, Clinton was not following those very same instructions.
“I think everyone can read it at FoxNews.com if they’d like to,” Harf said in response to the question about the cable, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
“I mean…,” she began to say as she looked around the room at other reporters appearing to look for laughs at her joke.
“That was in no way an endorsement,” she clarified.
Perhaps realizing she had gone too far, Harf told the reporter, “I don’t mean to be flip about it, but let me check.”
Hooboy. What can you say to that?
For the record, as Chuck Ross pointed out in his article, it was the New York Times, not Fox, which broke the email story. Funny: she didn’t have any snarky comment about that.
Is there a bigger embarrassment to the State Department than Marie Harf?
Uh….wait. I just thought about the fact that this is the Hillary Clinton/John Kerry State Department….and retract my question.
