Not surprisingly, according to this, josh boy has never had a real job outside of politic. NEVER.

He is a sycophant and nothing else. His “work” consists of carrying the water for Lee. P. Brown of Houston, Marion Berry, Bloomberg and obongo. That’s all, that’s it.

He is a political operative and that is all. A propaganda agent.

The prep school he went to in Kansas City is run by a pair of Wellsley graduates.... go figure.

"You criticize anonymous sources but we have anonymous sources from you every day," one reporter noted. "How can you criticize that when that's what you basically give us every day, except for the briefing?"

Earnest responded sarcastically.

If the press doesn't grow a pair soon, they'll become more of a joke than they are now...

I give him 3 more months in his job before he is replaced by another booklicker.

He proceeded to suggest reporters inform their sources that their information will be devalued unless it’s on the record.

“So what that means is if you have anonymous sources at the White House who are telling you something, and you’re going to say to them, that anonymous source, ‘Look, I’m going to give your side of the story a little less weight right now because you’re telling me this anonymously.’ That would be an entirely credible thing for you to do,” he continued.


Sounds like he wants the media to out his leakers for him, ha!

Josh Earnest is just further evidence of this administration’s arrogance and disdain for this nation and its people. I’m sure they actually think they’re being more than diplomatic and accommodating. Anything short of saying “FU, peons” is but by the undeserved graciousness of The One.

Josh Earnest remains because his attitude precisely reflects Obama’s, Jarret’s, etc. He’s doing exactly what’s expected of him.
