WASHINGTON - Former President Bill Clinton has hired a new spokesman, a veteran of the Howard Dean 2004 presidential campaign and New York City's 2012 Olympics bid.

Jay Carson was also a former press secretary for Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and has worked for the Democratic National Committee. Clinton's office announced Carson's hiring Tuesday.

Carson replaces Jim Kennedy, who announced he is leaving to become a spokesman for Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Kennedy has worked since 2002 as the chief spokesman for the former president. He also worked in the Clinton White House from 1998 to early 2001.

Clinton has certainly hired himself a loser. The guy hasn't won a campaign that I can see.

DNC "WAR ROOM" SPOKESMAN JAY CARSON: "‘John Kerry has been withdrawing money from the special interest bank for his entire career and now – because it’s the popular thing to do – he wants us to believe that he’s going to close the account and go after the people that have funded his political career,’ said Jay Carson ..."

What a lousy job. Try to be the mouthpiece for a guy who can't stop running his mouth.

New York City is a Democratic town, even when the Republican National Convention is held there. Democrats are staging a rapid response team similar to the Republican effort in Boston last month.



What is different is the scope of the team: Democrats have named theirs the America Can Do Better Rapid Response Campaign (as an extension of the America Can Do Better bus tour through swing states last week), and have named New York political operatives Melvin Norris, Jay Carson, and Kevin P. Wardally to direct it.
