WT: Ben Rhodes, the talkative aide who is in charge of “strategic communications” for President Obama’s national security team, by Monday had managed to revive opposition to the president’s Iran
nuclear deal, alienate journalists supposedly rooting for the president, raise hackles in Israel and even trigger a White House swipe at Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.
How’s that for “strategerie,” as George W. Bush might have said?
Mr. Rhodes, who was the president’s back-channel negotiator on Cuba and had a hand in the infamous Benghazi “talking points,” tried to defend himself from criticism after his comments in this weekend’s New York Times Magazine profile, in which he belittled the Washington press corps and bragged that he created a media “echo chamber” to sell the administration’s foreign policy to the public. The article said the administration’s story of the Iran deal “was largely manufactured” to convince Americans that talks did not begin until 2013, after moderates were elected in Tehran. more
Today’s pop quiz:
Who is Ben Rhodes’ brother?
Hint:
Incest is best,
put yer brother to the test!
Ben Rhodes, brother of CBS News President, is a fiction writer with no experience in foreign affairs or a real job outside of the government. That qualifies him to be a National Affairs Strategic Communications expert.
He boasts that reporters have even less real world experience than he does so they willingly parrot any talking point he gives them without corroboration or complaint.
Remember that next time you quote something you heard from a reporter.
Gaffe my ass.
He admitted to conspiracy to commit Treason.
Where the heck is the Attorney General?
oh, yeah, that’s right … affirmative action socialist stooge …
izlamo delenda est …
Perfect guy to ghostwrite Obama’s next autobiography.
Good thinking, PageOTurner! This is *all* just incestuous spin. …..and we are fools to believe there might be a glimmer of truth involved. …..Lady in Red
PS: I can’t recall (probably repressed it) but once read a list of the Obama shills and their spouses and siblings placed “high” in the media. .The list was impressively long …but, of course! NO conflict of interest.
PPS: Ben’s brother, as head of CBS News, was the *only* qualification the shill Ben had for being hired as a foreign affairs expert…. Now? Poor Obama. Spin, Obama, spin!
“Now? Poor obama. Spin, obama, spin!”
he doesn’t have to spin it, it’s not like the American population will ever get off the couch and do something about it.
these dc gangsters rely on our complacency to steal from us.
hillary will walk because of it.
Why would anyone want even one giraffe, much less a series of them?
Oh, wait —
Vietvet for the win!
Boyer’s writing style makes me think I had a stroke. The guy absolutely should NOT be a writer. Fuck you Boyer!
Zippy, is that you?
