Credit where credit might be due.
Working the beat for TIME, he was practically the only reporter with the wherewithal to come visit a FRee Republic Rally on the Capitol grounds in 1999. since I don't read Time I don't know what he wrote. He worked the crowd and spoke with many of us with genuine interest.
Unfortunately I can't remember the FReeper's name
PATENT BULLSHIT This little boy is obvioulsy smoking crack. Where do they get these people...from under rocks??
Is this guy Jay Carney or Art Carney ?
I mean seriously, Ed Norton was smarter than this boob.
Not to mention a lot more likable.
I would love to have somebody like Ed Norton (Art Carney) as a friend but not Jay Carney.
Jay Carney comes across as an elitist arrogant asshole just like his boss.
Art Carney was actually funny, that guy, Col Slade needs an all expenses paid trip to Club Gitmo in an orange jumpsuit...
"This Gig Is Tougher Than I Expected!"
Art Carney was hilarious. Jay Carney isn’t.
All you need to know about Miss J Carney is that his wife proposed to him. True story. She asked him to marry her.
I wonder if she carried him over the threshold?
“relitigate” - “battles”!!! When asked direct questions about STATEMENTS they have made in the past; they resort to legaleze and framing us as “enemies” as if that’s enough to ANSWER A SIMPLE DIRECT QUESTION! Ignore and change the subject is their method.
“We inherited a 6% unemployment...what did you expect”?
Well, his name is sure fitting then!!
If you consider today's White House as a low class carnival (I do) then you're right. And Carny doesn't seem to have a clue about his job, either.
