I happened to watch Bret Baer's Report last night on FNC; he started the show with an interview with a baby-faced 32 year old former van driver appointed National Security Council spokesman named Tommy Vietor.
Vietor comes across as a juvenile smart aleck when he's asked where the POTUS was the night of the murders of 4 Americans, responding that he didn't have a gps tracking device on the president.
Vietor is condescending, both defensive and offensive and just shocking in his lack of gravitas for having held such a significant government position.
His behavior does not reflect well on his former employer.
When pressed by Baer as to who altered the talking points from the "attacks" to "demonstrations," Vietor protested/whined, "Dude, that was like two years ago, and we're still talking about the most mundane process...."
The real story here is that this individual was in charge of anything other than walking dogs.
Admittedly hearing the word "dude" in an interview between professionals was shocking, but what was more shocking is that this intellectual light weight was let anywhere NEAR any national security office.
If this is indicative of the quality of personnel Obama has hired in the layers and layers of government and political appointment, it's no surprise Lois Lerner refuses to testify, the DOJ refuses to turn over documents and no one was watching the construction of the most important government website in history.
Here's the "dude" moment.
The entire jaw-dropping interview is here:
I too saw the interview and have the same revulsion. So much attention has focused on people that are "bullies" ... what about calling out the "punks" of this administration. My definition of a "punk" is from my own common sense interpretation from the 1960s -1970s. We referred to the arrogant, know nothing, snotty, fake people as"punks". They typically had a power that wasn't their own but pretended to be tough. The most common way of detecting them is by challenging their pseudo authority.... then they either resorted to name calling or backed down from the REAL challenge because they were empty people. Another way that you can tell who they are is by just listening to them. If, during their speech, you feel the urge to punch them in the face or throw your TV out the window... then they are "punks". Just look at this Vietor "dude" ... can you imagine hiring an arrogant idiot like this? Really, he is the kind of person you would just throw out during the interview process just because he couldn't answer a question without a condescending remark...
ReplyDeleteThis administration seems to love these kind of people, because they work for the biggest "punk" of all. That's right, that "community organizer" who pretends to be the president of a portion of the united states. Normally, i can just turn the TV off when he is speaking, but when he begins to ridicule everyone that thinks differently or doesn't laugh at his arrogant, separating remarks... then I turn ugly and feel like screaming out ... SHUT UP and just do your job...... uniting this country. But unfortunately there is one other thing about punks.... they don't listen to people .... just other punks.
Absolutely.See my latest post.
