Jay Carney Snaps at NPR Reporter Over Budget Question
The Blaze ^ | 3/11/13 | Jason Howerton

Posted on 03/11/2013 9:27:17 PM PDT by Nachum

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney during a press briefing on Monday snapped at NPR reporter Mara Liasson for asking whether entitlement reforms would be part of President Barack Obama’s official budget.

“Mara, the way you phrase that question makes me think that you’re still working on a typewriter or something. It’s available online. The proposal is there,” a frustrated Carney replied.

Liasson then reminded Carney that she was asking specifically if it would be in Obama’s budget. Carney refused to answer the question and said he would not “predict the budget.”

“I would wait for the budget to come out,” Carney added. “But it is the president’s position, it is the president’s offer.”

Not a good idea to bite the hand that feeds you, Jaydawg.

Carney to Liasson: “Don’t worry your pretty little head with grown-up issues like budgets, honey...”

And what is she going to do about it? Turn against Obama or something? Ha ha ha...

“Excuse me, Mr. Carney, but you have evidently mistaken me for someone who works for Fox News. I work for Enn. Pee. Are.”

“I would wait for the budget to come out,” Carney added. “But it is the president’s position, it is the president’s offer.”

That just means that Jim Trumpka and the AFL-CIO haven't sent their budget over to Obama yet. How the hell does anyone expect Carney to know what it is when even Obama doesn't have a clue what's in it yet?

They both “work for” the same foundations, this is theater.

It’s almost seems like they’re actually being snippy with each other.

Not popcorn-worthy, though, IMHO.

This goes to show that even symbiotic relationships aren’t without tension.

Jab! Jab! Jab and Jab some more!

Make them angry. Make them lose their tempers. Corner them. Nip at their heels. Poke them with sticks!

Overwhelm them with their own Alinsky strategy.

Light one fire after another and another and another.

Dare I dream that they will blow up?

No worries, by this time tomorrow night, Mara will have her mind right. Heck, I'll bet the regime even gives her a new set of knee-pads just to show her all is forgiven.

I don’t see how a hottie like Claire Shipman could actually be married to such a faggoty lil Feller like Carney.

The way the queer holds his mouth while speaking, the way he looks like he is sucking wind when smiling.

It all looks like rainbow advertising for “Boys! Yoo Hoo! I’m over here!”

Sorry, but, he is a faggot, with faggoty ways.

I don’t get it.

Now, if he is the hood ornament and she is gay...Then we are talking...

Mara is a career idealog. I resent having to pay her salary. I NEVER listen to NPR’s smarmy leftists.

I never listen to NPR either FWIW. I do see her on Special Report and she does lay on some scathing criticism of The Won from time to time. FWIW.

I am really surprised she criticizes obama. Maybe she is trying to appear to be fair and balanced. I remember her in the 90s when she was very pro Clinton.
