You do realize her job position, right?
I would hope you treated Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, Tony Snow, Robert Gibbs, Josh Earnest and Sean Spicer with the same level of disrespect. White House Press Secretaries lose their own voice the moment they take the job. They HAVE to say what their bosses say in order to keep their paycheck. That's probably why Mrs. Sanders didn't leave the dinner: she knew when she took the job that it required a total loss of dignity.
You have constructed an excellent argument. You present your interpretation of my post, and a forceful counter argument, backed up by logic and facts. It is honest and is designed to illicit a response, without belittling me. That is a skill.
I respect Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan, and Tony Snow greatly because of who they chose to represent. I had a lot of sympathy for the job they did. I had that sympathy because President Bush IMO was by his speech and actions a President of all the people. I believe he had rules and standards of conduct. I believe he wouldn't publicly make fun of elected officials, media figures, groups or individual Americans because of their looks, gender, race, religion, or intelligence. YMMV but I would like to hope none of President Bush's Press Secretaries feel the damage to their dignity wasn't worth the reward.
Still I have found fault with all 3 at some time and I would not be shocked if I have insinuated or outright proclaimed each as apologists in the past. I imagine I have found times when I treated them with the same level of disrespect.
You have invited me to disparage or defend rats Robert Gibbs, and Josh Earnest. I decline. The only nice thing I feel compelled to say about Josh Earnest is I love his name. Obama sucked and I don't need to convince you why.
I respected Spicer's resignation most, but I respect Spicer because I like Spicer. It is human nature to defend the people we like, Thank God. I excuse his propaganda because I knew him from twitter a year before he became Press Secretary. I at least know who he wants me to think he is.
He is wicked funny and smart as a whip, but when called to regurgitate the President's BS he said "largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period." First day.
I know a Press Secretary has to say what she is told. That does not require me to respect her position.
Thanks for giving me an opportunity to clarify my opinion.
