On this occasion Doocy bypassed any questions about the surging Delta variant of the COVID virus, or the tragic collapse of the condo in Florida, or the dramatic congressional battles over infrastructure and voting rights.<\/p>\n<p>Nope. Doocy courageously went straight for the <em>footlong<\/em> controversy over the cost of cookouts. He even drew a <em>link<\/em> to the price of gas. It was a <em>frank<\/em> exchange that went something like this&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> The official White House account tweeted yesterday the cost of a 4th of July cookout is down 16 cents from last year. 16 cents?<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> There has been a reduction in some of the costs of key components of a 4th of July barbeque. that was what the tweet was noting.<br \/>\n<strong>Doocy:<\/strong> So does the White House think that 16 cents off a barbeque has more of an effect on people&#8217;s lives than gas being a dollar more than this time last year&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>Psaki:<\/strong> I would say if you don&#8217;t like hot dogs you may not care of the reduction of costs. You don&#8217;t have to like hot dogs. I will say that what we are most focused on is the fact that we&#8217;ve created now more than three million jobs since the President took office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jen Psaki to Pete Doocy: WHY DO YOU HATE HOT DOGS <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PsakiBomb?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PsakiBomb<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DRc4cQsuho\">pic.twitter.com\/DRc4cQsuho<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tommy moderna-vaX-Topher (@tommyxtopher) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tommyxtopher\/status\/1411303527725604867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>For the record, this is the light-hearted post that the White House tweeted about 4th of July barbeque costs:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Planning a cookout this year?

But this complex matter deserves a deeper examination. So let&#8217;s begin with the fact that a reduction of any amount is significant. The prices for most consumer goods generally increase every year. But this year&#8217;s decline indicates that, even as the country is reopening from the pandemic, and the economy is booming, inflation does not appear to be a major worry.<\/p>\n<p>Undeterred by reality, Doocy persisted with a deliberately hostile framing of his next question linking barbeque costs to gas prices. Psaki was prepared for this because she recently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49803\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">had to school Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-QAnon) on the subject<\/a><\/strong>. She replied to his ignorant tweet by noting <em>&#8220;gas prices are the same now as they were in June 2018.&#8221;<\/em> Indeed, any knowledgeable person knows that gas prices were artificially low last year due to that deadly pandemic thingy that kept people at home. Now that people are moving about again, both the demand and the cost of fuel have returned to their pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n<p>Psaki skillfully spun Doocy&#8217;s argumentative inquiry into an snarky insinuation that he is anti-hot dog. Then she steered the discussion back to a much more relevant issue to the American people: jobs. On that subject the Republican Party has been pitifully weak as they try to belittle <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49944\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the historic success of the Biden administration&#8217;s<\/a><\/strong> first five months in office.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is that Doocy just can&#8217;t resist trying to cast out questions that he thinks are <em>bangers<\/em>, but which actually make him look like a <em>wiener<\/em>, or <em>wurst<\/em>, a <em>brat<\/em>. Okay, I&#8217;m done now. And so is Doocy if he&#8217;s smart. But we already know the answer to that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
