Yeah, basically, in this administration your ultimate purpose as a staffer is to be steadily leeched of everything – energy, time, life, soul, self-esteem – and then be discarded like the empty beer can that you more or less are to them. This is happening to Jay Carney even as we speak; he’s apparently on the way out the door, just in time to avoid being asked all those pesky questions about how the President feels about losing the Senate*. It’s actually kind of sad that he’s going.
No, really:
We won’t be able to use that clip anymore! – Well, we could, but it won’t be as funny.

*Spoiler warning: the President is going to feel that it sucks.
I wonder who they’ll get to be leeched next .. if Obama is following the Bush Doctrine again, they should get a left-leaning media type….

Hey, maybe if Al Franken loses …

I wonder how Keith Olbermann’s ESPN show is going?
Well, to be fair, being a flack is the job and it can ware anyone down. W had 4 as I recall Ari Fleisher, Scott McClellan, Tony Snow, and Dana Perino. Although they had the distinct benefit of working for a man who actually valued their efforts (and in McClellan’s case, without any obvious reason why…)
–
Side note, dang I miss Tony Snow.
Tony Snow was the best!
Jay Carney has a soul?
Buddhists would say that he doesn’t, sort of.

Well I kinda feel sorry for Jay Carney, it must be extremely hard to try to keep all the lies straight day after day…
