The new White House Press Secretary Dana Perino is sort of like that eager girl from high school math who always asks for extra credit.

She’s just so darn eager. She’s been Press Secretary for one month, which coincided with one the worse stretches of Bush’s tenure, but she says, “to me, it's a wonderful job.”

Her dog even does Republican tricks, like fetching a flip-flop when asked about John Kerry.

Weirdest of all, she seems to have a crush on Tony Snow:

I don't bring the star quality that Tony brings … I don't bring the self-assurance that he has in front of the television cameras. But I do strive to be accurate and informative and have a little bit of fun.

Um, gross. You’ve got the job now, Perino. You can stop sucking up.
