But the joke is on us..the whole damn country!
“Popeye” Clinton: “I yam what I yam: three sheets to the wind.”

And they whined that “Bush lied”.

Jay “Joseph Goebbels” Carney. And why would any sane person trust him?
I’ve met some of the sleazest reds in the country - Alinsky, Aptheker, Novack, heard Navasky, Porter (Hanoi boytoy), Fonda, Hayden, etc.
I would put Carney right up there with them. He’s earned it.
A great insult to granny.
Jay Blarny out next liar in.
Since he no longer works at the White House his statement is no longer valid.
Carney-Barker could suck-start a B-52.
Just think of how this story could be covered if we actually had an honest press in this country.
Active Duty ping.
You just insulted Granny.
I think he was a pretty terrible press sec, but it seems likely (to me) that given the timing he quit because of this. It’s one thing to be the PR guy for an incompetent bunch of twits. It’s quite another when your boss disrespects you enough to make a liar out of you.
Or, maybe he just wanted to spend more time on his wife.
