Perino apparently unaware that former Treasury Secretary Snow testified on the Hill yesterday.
During yesterday’s House Oversight Committee Hearing on the Financial Crisis, former Treasury Secretary John Snow suggested that the push to expand homeownership was “overdone.” Today, a reporter tried to ask White House Press Secretary Dana Perino about Snow’s comments. Perino, however, had no idea that Snow even testified:
Q: Yesterday, the President’s former Treasury Secretary said that the push for homeownership, the bipartisanship push for homeownership simply went too far. And he went beyond saying that unqualified people –
PERINO: Are you talking about Greenspan, or –
Q: I’m talking about John Snow.
PERINO: John Snow, okay. Was he testifying?
Q: Yes, he testified to the House committee.
PERINO: Okay. I didn’t see his remarks. So hopefully, I’ll be able to answer your question.
Q: Well, maybe you won’t. (Laughter.)

– - Perino apparently STILL unaware that Russia tried to deploy nuclear missiles into Cuba in 1962.
October 24th, 2008 at 8:40 pmPERINO: John Snow, okay. Was he testifying?
– - PERINO: Sorry, I was busy going over some Neiman-Marcus receipts and making my own shopping list.
October 24th, 2008 at 8:42 pmWell, that was embarrassing.
Then again, half the time Perino has no clue what she is talking about and the other half she is making things up.
So I guess it’s business as usual…
October 24th, 2008 at 8:49 pmI would like to see a Barbie Perino skit on SNL. Dumb like doorknobs. Perino is in competition with Sarracuda. You can’t make this stuff up.

October 24th, 2008 at 8:56 pmEveryone remember when George Bush was touting, “We are an ownership society! Get your house any way you can! You can do it! Rah rah rah!”?
Spit.
October 24th, 2008 at 8:56 pmWhat a bummer. Aren’t these reporters trained to stay on script anymore?
October 24th, 2008 at 9:09 pmanyone who’s seen The West Wing has some empathy for the job of press secretary…and Perino STILL comes off as completely oblivious.
October 24th, 2008 at 9:13 pmThe doofus thinks that Greenspan was Secretary of the Treasury?!?!?
Is there a single competent person in the Dubya maladministration? I know, rhetorical question….

October 24th, 2008 at 10:16 pmThe White House press office: the LAST place you go for information.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:45 pmHow would she know he testified? Only policy wonks like Clinton & Gore watch C-Span 24/7.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:49 pm“Perino apparently unaware….”
No kidding.
October 24th, 2008 at 10:55 pmHow absurdly pathetic it is to watch the administration running out the clock. its one thing for them to act as if they gave a damn, but this is beyond pathetic. Why does she even bother wearing makeup and nice clothes; why not just show up in a housedress drinking wine from a bottle? At least that would be honestly showing what they think of the American People. Heck of a job, W.

Turn the lights off, there’s no won home.
