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.

It's unfair to criticize him for hiring a loser. Anyone spokesman for a successful Democrat is probably dead by now.

The real question is who are Bill's 'interns' these days?

Why would Clinton need a new spokesman?

To further exploit his relationship with Pappy Bush.

Even with a Mulligan, the guy has 3 strikes. Peculiar, except that BJ-boy does most of his mouthing off by his lonesome.

Spokesman? Spokesman for what? So he doesn't have to answer questions? What a waste of humanity.

Well that explains it. He's hired to get rid of Kerry for the '08 race.

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 ..."
