The impregnable Hashtag Line

Just...stop. Please.

Update: More from Steve at the Pub: "She didn't get to this level of stupid in one day, she'd have to have been exhibiting the signs for a long time, possibly all her adult life........ yet someone appointed her spokesman for the State Department."

Update II: Hey, State Department, you know what else Twitter is good for? Administering crushing ridicule (H/T: Jim Treacher).

  1. The State Department is full of college kids. They may be 30, 40, 50, 60 years old but they're still mental children. They went straight from college to feeding at the government trough in DC. No adult job or responsibility ever. They have no idea how the world works. And it shows. Badly.

  2. "Spokesman" is the word.

    "man" as in "mankind" (not as in coz the office holder is a man instead of a woman).

    ("Spokesman", as opposed to "spokes-horse", "spokes-crocodile", "spokes-rattlesnake", "spokes-hamster" & so on, y'all get the picture)

    My English teacher was a good one, he'd spin in his grave were I to ever say "spokeswoman".

  4. You do realize, by the way, that I italicized the word because it was italicized in your original post?

  5. I repeat myself:
    "The problem not that she represents the US State Department, it's that she is fully representative of the US State Department."

    Cheers

  6. The Obama "administration" is merely exercising that post-reelection "flexibility" that Obama promised Putin.

    There's a hashtag for you: #Re-electionFlexibility.

  7. /Irony alert:

    Demonstrates how the 1% have become detached from reality.
