White House Propaganda Minister Jay Carney Attacks Fox News During Press Conference…

Yes, again.

(Politico) — The Obama administration has never been backward about leaning forward on Fox News. The network has proven a durable, go-to villain to rally the base and stoke indignation against a perceived antagonist on the right.

But White House press secretary Jay Carney, going after Ed Henry from Fox News on Wednesday, misfired all over the place by also insulting House Speaker John Boehner for being a “showboat” and exposing a level of secrecy and political calculation in the debt limit negotiations that runs counter to promises President Obama ran on.

The day after the two tangled over Henry’s request for specifics on Obama’s plan, Carney and Henry were back at it again. Henry asked at the briefing when Obama’s plan might be submitted to the Congressional Budget Office.

“Ed, I understand, we can do this again, OK?” Carney said. “Has the speaker of the House shown you the positions he took in detail in the negotiations that were designed actually to achieve a compromise, as opposed to having a showboat?”

    Ed Henry is no longer a cool guy in Carney’s eyes since he left CNN for (gasp!) Fox!

    :-) Should we look for every Liberal in town to use the word ‘showboat’ now?

    How often do they swap out their word of the day?

    Obie and the D’s are scared shitless right now. The ONLY thing they care about is being able to shove this under the rug as far as possible between now and November 2012.

    Now, let’s see what new and creative ways the R’s find to fuck up their advantage.

    Carney has been empowered by Krugman’s brave “..no penalty for extremism” stance. Invoke the 14th and get rid of Fox News!!

    :-) I cant wait until 2013 comes along so we can roll-up the entire left-wing network.

    It will take them a decade to rebuild again.

    I think maybe if Carney is still feeling brave he might urinate in public again.

    Very interesting that a Poltico reporter is nailing little Carney’s schwanz to the wall for “misfiring all over” and Obama for forgetting what he told voters.

    They should be scared. Both are well past their levels of incompetence and more in the media are looking to salvage what is left of their credibility, or getting absurd, as Maher and Krugman are. The kneepads are wearing out for some fellow travelers of the WH circus.

    Can you imagine if Ari Fleischer would have said one negative word about Cnn or Msnbc?

    But it is OK for the Dems. Man these bastards are Liars and Hypocrites.

    Poor little Jay. He looks worn out. He’s aged ten years in the last three months. I guess trying to remember what lie you told and what lie your boss told and trying to keep it all straight can be exhausting?

    Isn’t Jay’s turn in the barrel just about over? I expect to see a new White House Minister of Propaganda any day now. I’m sure Claire will demand it.

    How long before they make FOX News sit in the back of the room where he won’t be called on?

    (Politico) Earlier today, White House spokesman Jay Carney called a news conference and adamantly denied that there were American tanks in Bhagdad.

    “I triple guarantee you, there are NO TANKS IN BHAGDAD!”, insisted Carney to an astonished White House press corps.

    He went on to deny that the Americans were being soundly routed all over Iraq. “They’re not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad]. They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion … they are trying to sell to the others an illusion. They tried to bring a small number of tanks and personnel carriers in through al-Durah but they were surrounded and most of their infidels had their throats cut. God will roast their stomachs in hell at the hands of Iraqis.”

    Unseen by Carney, several US Abrams M1A1 tanks could clearly be seen rolling across view in the background behind the podium.

    Mr. Claire Shipman, a true petulant child. Mirroring his boss!

    The entire DNC needs a timeout, or a blankey to comfort them. Their behavior has gone beyond childish. It is officially demented.

    The original story said something about “Fox News, whose producers and reporters(?) are some of most respected in the business..’ When I went back to look at it again, that phrase had been deleted. Hm.

    Showboat, eh? He looks like he enjoys musical theater. A little too much.

    Go home, son, you’re in over your head.
