Dana Perino to W.H. Staffers: If You Think You’re Being Effective, Shut Your Mouth

‘If you think the president is being restrained, then don’t say anything’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PERINO: "One of the best things about being a staffer is let's say you come up with a good line for the president to use in an interview or a good line that he writes in a speech. That then is the the presidents line line. It is so important to think that you would go out and say "That was my line, actually, he just use my line." It is actually happening here. If you think the president is being restrained, then don't say anything. If you think you are being so effective, shut your mouth."
