Why do Jay Carney and Claire Shipman decorate their house with Soviet propaganda posters?
By Thomas Lifson
I went to a book launch for an old high school classmate at her aunt’s house in DC. The artwork was Stalin, Lenin and Mao. Just like in that photo of Carney’s family, but more, including a bust of Lenin.
My wife and I looked at each other in wonder and disgust. When we asked another classmate, who was a Wash comPost “journalist,” what she thought about the artwork, she looked at us like we were the weird ones. We walked out.
How many other people had been through that house and through the Carney’s and either complimented them on the décor or thought it was normal?
“Their Town” is a sick town.
