Jen Psaki's Vogue Profile

I thought the same about Jill Biden’s profile. I’m sad for both of them — I bet they were psyched to get one of those awesome vogue photos shoots! Instead they got “yeah, that’s a oretty decent picture of me. I guess you can use it at my funeral when I die” level photography. (Note to self—start a binder of photos my kids can use at my funeral so they don’t pick the awful ones where my eyes look different sizes).

Consider the subjects. Photographers can only do so much with those subjects.

You do? I'm a lefty who voted for Biden/Harris and think she's good at her job, but I wouldn't say I admire her. She's from a wealthy Connecticut family, went to private schools her entire life, and then had a relatively typical climb as a well-connected political hack. I'm not sure "admire" is the right word. Her story is incredibly predictable with very little adversity. Again, she is good at her job and seems like a nice lady. But come on.

The bar is so, so low sometimes.

So what? There are plenty of well connected hacks who end up total unsuccessful a-holes. Just look at trumps and his sorry adult children. You don’t have to face adversity to have a strong work ethic or ambition. Yes, it was easier for her to get here, but she could still be an admirable person with admirable values, traits, or achievements. Just look at someone like RFK.

Agree. She is doing a great job. Since the beginning, she changed the “tone” of her office in a good way: there is a renewed sense of respect and decency that was missing.

She's out of her league. The only reason her nonsensical statements don't get more attention is her boss makes more gaffes than she does.

Even if they want to focus on her power/business side... that cluttery desk is just a big "no." The outfit is perfect. But, the setting is a zero.

Ok, wow...if that's clutter-y. Thank goodness I'm just a nobody...because that desk is positively pristine compared to mine.

Regardless, I think the Leibovitz photos are interesting. She's a senior WH staffer, so I'm sure that there wasn't a lot of room to do anything super avant garde. Within that context, I think these are great photos. Maybe I'm boring, though...

This is nothing compared to the insults lobbed at conservative women.

It's such a hard job and she's rocking it. Nice profile.

I find it hard to believe you would make this comment about a male press secretary.

DP. I see what you’re getting at, but IMO the problem is actually that we DON’T say this kind of thing about men (NOT that we do say something about women). Fathers should be held to a higher standard (i.e. the same standard to which we hold mothers), not the other way around.
