[See NewsBusters for more.] Democracy dies in kitten updates and ice cream musing? White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s early press conferences have been loaded with softballs, but apparently not enough for the new Democratic administration. On Monday, Psaki fielded Twitter questions and then asked herself the tough queries on Joe Biden’s favorite flavors and a potential new cat. In a video for the official White House page, she began rhetorically, “In my first tweet, I asked all of you to send me questions. So today, I’m going to answer them. 'Will you take the hard questions from reporters in stride for transparency?'" Psaki told Psaki: “Yes, that’s my goal.” With that out of the way, she offered this pressing query: “First feline updates would be greatly appreciated.”
