This comical riposte was inspired by a family of admonishments about messy desks, and this website has a pertinent entry here: “A Cluttered Desk Produces a Cluttered Mind”. 2010, The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, Edited by Alice Calaprice, Section: Probably Not By Einstein, (No page number because statement is absent), Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey. … Continue reading The most comprehensive reference about the physicist’s pronouncements is the 2010 book “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein” from Princeton University Press, and the expression is absent. It was attributed to him in the 2000s many years after his death in 1955. Quote Investigator: There is no substantive evidence that Einstein made this quip. Would you please help me to determine whether Einstein said this? I haven’t been able to find a solid citation. If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? Freund? Anonymous?ĭear Quote Investigator: Many sayings attributed to the scientific genius Albert Einstein concern the mind. Peter Parisi is a former editor for The Washington Times.Albert Einstein ? Truman Twill? Lyndon B.Jean-Pierre demonstrates daily that meritocracy is an afterthought - if it’s thought of at all. She is immune from criticism - and from reassignment to a less high-profile post -only because she checks all of the boxes of “intersectionality” as a woman and as the first Black and first LGBTQ White House press secretary. Jean-Pierre remains in the post today is because of the identity politics to which the Biden administration and the Democratic Party have sworn undying allegiance. He couldn’t very well hold her to a higher standard.īut the real reason Ms. Biden is legendary for his own innumerable gaffes. Jean-Pierre still has the high-visibility press secretary’s job, to which she was elevated May 13, despite all of the gaffes, is because Mr. One can only imagine how former President Donald Trump’s press secretary Kayleigh McEnany would have been pilloried by the White House press corps had she made those sorts of repeated verbal gaffes. She accused Russia of causing an energy crisis in Europe by shutting down its Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which she referred to as the “Nordstrom 1” pipeline. Jean-Pierre conflated a Russian natural gas pipeline with an upscale American department store chain. Jean-Pierre helpfully noted that it had been “nearly 70 years since the Korean ‘armtis.’” - presumably not to be confused with the Korean armistice. Harris’ then-pending trip to South Korea, the veep would visit the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas. 28, in congratulating three Americans who had won Nobel Prizes in chemistry, physics and economics, she mispronounced “Nobel” five times in 40 seconds as “noble.” The official White House transcript of the briefing was dishonestly corrected in all three instances to “bicameral” with no indication that it was not an accurate reflection of what was actually said. It should have been “bicameral,” of course, meaning support in both chambers of Congress. “Bicarmel, bipartisan support was had for this piece of legislation,” she said.īut this was no one-off slip of the tongue: She used the term “bicarmel” three times to describe it in the course of the half-hour press briefing. Jean-Pierre touted “bicarmel” support in Congress for the so-called Respect for Marriage Act. Jean-Pierre has mispronounced or mangled words and phrases in the course of her press briefings. Nor have the liberal media (or the late-night TV comics) noted, much less ridiculed, how on four separate occasions in recent months, Ms. Jean-Pierre’s dependence on her press briefing binders. Romney was engaged in some form of BDSM with those women.īy contrast, as far as we know, none of those same talking heads have ridiculed Ms. Many of their “binder” jokes snarkily suggested that the squeaky-clean Mr. Just as an aside, recall how 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was ridiculed mercilessly by the talking heads in the liberal media for saying during the second presidential debate that he had “binders full of women.” That was his awkward way of referring to files of résumés of women he would consider for staffing his administration were he to win the election. Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, she had the Biden administration’s rote talking points down cold and didn’t depend on extensive notes as a crutch. It’s quite another to stare down at them and read those notes all but verbatim. It’s one thing for a press secretary to have notes for reference.
