On its 'Today Show' earlier this morning, NBC revealed that it has signed former Obama White House press secretary Josh Earnest as a political analyst. Earnest is expected to provide political commentary on NBC and MSNBC.

And, in an hilarious welcoming statement, the Today Show's Savannah Guthrie warned Earnest that he would now have to disavow himself of his political bias to provide impartial political analysis...just before inviting him to take shots at Republicans.

"White House Press Secretary under President Obama we're pleased to announce is joining us a political analyst."

"Now you have to wear your analyst hat, not your Democrats hat."

"And looking at what happened, what transpired over the last few weeks on healthcare, who is to blame?"

Earnest also made an appearance this morning on the cable news network known for its militant dedication to impartiality, MSNBC.

Meanwhile, The Hill notes that Earnest is just one of many Obama press secretaries to accept handsome salaries providing "impartial" political analysis at NBC and CNN over the years.

Chris Matthews worked for Tip O'Neill, and Edmund Muskie. NBC probably only hires Democrats. Maybe a few RINOs.

During the 2000 GOP Primary campaign I attended an event that W held at a bowling alley in Nashua,NH.There I met Jay Carney who I recognized from his many TV appearances.We talked for about 5 minutes during which he pressed me,relentlessly,as to why I was supporting *W*,of all people.

As we parted company it was obvious that he didn't like me and I wanted to spit in his face.

"Putz" doesn't even begin to describe him.Ten bucks says the same is true of Josh Earnest (Josh Earnest...sometimes the jokes just write themselves).

Well, he fits the network’s standards for honesty.

“His last name is like a cosmic joke.”

Actually, his complete name is a cosmic joke: “Did he actually say that in earnest?” “Nah, he was probably just joshing us.”

Considering NBC practically owns BuzzFeed (fake news - dossier) nobody should be moved.

What is it that makes everyday Liberals/Democrats so effing gullible? Every day they have to totally ignore reality.

"This foolish guy Josh Earnest, I don't know if he's talking to President Obama. You know, having the right press secretary is so important because he is so bad, the way he delivers a message,” He could say ‘ladies and gentlemen today we have defeated ISIS’ and it would still sound bad, I have a feeling they won’t be saying it but I know we will be saying it.

“ABC has Little Goergie (”Stephie”) Stephanopoulos,”

Exactly, recall a few months back when President Trump bitch slapped this clinton toad sleazebag when he told him he regretted his giving money to hillarys campaign and yet still pretending to be unbiased, Girl George had no idea how to respond to that and creepily went on as if nothing was said. I thought to myself, seriously? you got nothing,

Then it may have been the very next day, like a true women scorned, George was on some late night talk show (first time I had ever seen him on one) running down President Trump,

Here is the very definition of a weak snivelling passive aggressive reprobate, the type no one can respect but perfect in the role of a corrupt clinton stooge,

I wonder how many times purple rage Bill or ashtray zinging hillary kicked him out their office like some stray dog, he seemed to be used to it,

“Now you have to wear your analyst hat, not your Democrats hat.” Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.
