Snarky is the nicest thing that I can say to describe Jay Carney. Chief propagandist is more like it. I used to detest Robert Gibbs' daily press briefings, but Carney made Gibbs actually look like less of an ***. Good riddance. Perhaps the contradictions could not exist in perpetuity. I am going to modify what Ayn Rand said. Contradictions can exist ... for a time, but not indefinitely. The time that such contradictions have existed recently has been SO long that it makes our heads hurt.
