Are We In Nursery School?’: David Brooks Slams Marie Harf Over Kissinger, Shultz Op-Ed
The Daily Caller | 4/8/15 | Al Weaver

Posted on 04/08/2015 8:27:24 PM PDT by Nachum

Marie Harf may have disagreed with the joint op-ed from Henry Kissinger and George Shultz on Iran, but she’s not getting the backup from the media she wished she was.

In an appearance on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” Wednesday night, New York Times columnist David Brooks blasted Harf’s response to Kissinger and Shultz’s piece, calling it “the lamest rebuttal” imaginable. Brooks also took shots at Harf for saying she heard “sort of big words and big thoughts” in the piece, asking “are we in nursery school?”

In their Wednesday piece in The Wall Street Journal, the two former secretaries of state said the Iran nuclear deal will only “reinforce” the problems going on in the Middle East for the rest of the world.

HUGH HEWITT: Let me play for you, by the way, since you bring up Henry Kissinger and George Shultz, this is State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf earlier today responding to that very op-ed.

MARIE HARF: I didn’t hear a lot of alternatives. I heard a lot of sort of big words and big thoughts in that piece, and those are certainly, there’s a place for that. But I didn’t hear a lot of alternatives about what they would do differently.

David Brooks got the administration he wanted. He can’t complain when the valley girls take over explaining our alleged foreign policy.

The Iranians don’t pay Dr K.

If they did, he’d be their apologist.

Just because Harf Is inane and idiotic doesn’t mean I am going to care about what Brooks or Kissinger say.

Okay, who did Harf “service” in order to obtain her current job? She has the communication skills of a kid in junior high...at best.

She said with her fingers stuck in her ears.

Oh man, I hear that Frank Zappa song “Valley Girl” in my head whenever I see or hear Marie Harf on TV or radio.

Marie Harff...” It’s not like we can win a war just by killing a lot of people...”

Nuff said

You can't even see the person behind her pulling the string in her back.
Maybe it's Robert Reich.

Harf’s in so far over her head, I would feel sorry for her if she wasn’t flailing for the worst President in my entire lifetime.

Still, she’s not as bad as her boss Jen Psaki. That chick is a rabbit-boiler if e’re I saw one.
