Politician

The Resume

    (May 9, 1972- )
    Born in Evanston, Wyoming
    Replaced Tony Snow as White House Press Secretary (September 14, 2007)

Why she might be annoying:

    She taught her dog to bark when asked 'Should Clinton go to jail,' to growl when he hears Al Gore's name and to retrieve a flip-flop at a mention of John Kerry.
    When stumped, she tends to fall back on prepared talking points.
    She tried to justify administration inaction on global warming by noting, 'Many people die from cold-related deaths every winter. And there are studies that say that climate change in certain areas of the world would help these individuals.'
    She admitted that when a reporter mentioned the Cuban Missile Crisis, 'I was panicked a bit because I really don't know about [it].'
    She told the story on NPR as a cute anecdote rather than as a shocking admission of ignorance.

Why she might not be annoying:

    When first appointed as a temporary fill-in for Snow, she cried while discussing his cancer.
    She did say of the Cuban Missile Crisis, 'It had to do with Cuba and missles, I'm pretty sure,' so it's not like she was completely ignorant.
    Esquire's 'Women We Love' issue included her in the section, 'Women We're Ashamed to Love,' with the note, 'Sexier than Tony Snow and Scott McClellan combined.'
    She is stuck defending an administration with a 30% approval rating.
