Reporters asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre whether Joe Biden has seen a doctor since the debate. To which she replied, “We were able to talk to his doctor about that and that is a no.” A few hours later, President Biden told a group of governors that he had just seen a doctor, and that he was fine.

Oops. Sold out by the boss. That’s the trouble with being a White House press secretary. In addition to remembering facts, events, policies, and the names and faces of White House reporters, you also have to remember, “Which lie did I tell?”

Which begs an important question: if you are a professional liar, which is a key job requirement for a press secretary in any administration, what kind of post-White House employment are you qualified for?

In all fairness to Jean-Pierre, obfuscating, fudging, or otherwise dissembling or shading the truth is a key part of the job. But since she may well be looking for work this winter, I’m thoughtfully providing some options she might consider for the next step in her career.

Economist. “The stock market will definitely go up, unless, of course, it goes down. Same thing with interest rates, GDP, and pretty much everything else.”

Used car dealer. “This baby has only 11,000 miles, has never been in an accident, and runs like a top. Would I lie to you?”

Late Night Talk Show Host. “I love your new movie/TV show/TikTok video! (Even though it’s the worst piece of trash I ever saw and I threw up halfway through.)”

Lobbyist. “This horrific piece of legislation will benefit all Americans.”

Dictator. “I have only temporarily suspended our country’s constitution and look forward to holding free and fair elections in the next two years. Ha ha ha.”

Professional wrestling announcer. “Gosh, Bob, these two guys really hate each other! They want to rip each other’s heads off! How could anybody say this is choreographed?”

MSNBC host. “ “ (fill in the blank with whatever you like. You know it’s a lie.)

Ivy League University President. “We provide a campus experience that is safe, welcoming, free from bias, and non-threatening for all.”

Voting Commissioner. “I can assure you on a stack of Bibles and on the lives of my three elementary school age children that every single one of the ballots we counted were cast by actual, registered voters.”

Defense Attorney. “This bloody knife covered with my client’s fingerprints and DNA is not a bloody knife covered with my clients fingerprints and DNA. And I mean it.”

Disneyland Jungle Cruise Guide. Whatever you say, people will believe it. There’s actually some history here. Nixon Press Secretary Ron Ziegler was a Jungle Cruise guide before he came to the White House, which clearly served him well in his Washington career.

Parent. “I would never check your phone. That’s just wrong.”

Teenager. “Where was I? Um, studying. Yeah, that’s it! I was studying!”
