I am SO, SO going to miss Jay Carney.

Carney has been, IMHO, one of the best Press Secretaries. He has parried and foiled the most obnoxious questions from the press staff with dignity and aplomb. I hope Obama's next Press Secretary is as skilled as Carney.

...when asked about Dickwad Cheney's latest bull$h!t spew, "Rarely has a US president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many."

Carney's subtle but elegant rejoinder - "Which president was he talking about ?"
