At old-time carnivals there was always a spiel mister who,
waving his bamboo cane, huckstered rubes into the various sideshows full of
geeks, freaks and flabby female ecdysiasts … or one who offered you a chance to beat an
unbeatable tent game. Such was called a “carny” … short for carnival worker.
Yesterday was Jay Carney’s last day as the White House Press Secretary … kinda
like the modern-day equivalent of a carny … the head spinner of administration misdirections.
This Carney carny however did not wave a cane nor stand in front of a sucker’s
game. But then again?
Jay Carney … or the “common streetwalker” as I liked to call
him … grew into this job … learning to lie with aplomb. He benefited from a
complacent and lackluster press corps (corpse?) who were led around by the nose
… even asked to submit questions in advance … see: Pantomime.
The most recent whopper this carny ask us to believe was that that IRS tyrant, Lois
Lerner, had never contacted the White House by e-mail … see: Michelle Malkin Squib.
This is despite the fact that there were 155 White House meetings between Lois
Lerner’s boss and Obama’s henchmen … see: Daily Caller Story.
Pleeease …
One Fox News wag opined that Carney was not paid enough to
do all these tap dances around Obama’s malfeasances … but I think he was being
overpaid. Now we can expect to see Carney slip back into the media in some
fashion or another … moving between news-making and news-faking.
