President Obama has chosen former journalist Jay Carney to replace press secretary Robert Gibbs, a longtime loyalist, when he leaves the post in mid-February, according to a senior administration official.

The White House will also name two new deputy chiefs of staff: Nancy-Ann DeParle, director of the Office of Health Reform, and Alyssa Mastromonaco, White House director of scheduling and advance.

Art Carney was a great comedian but also a WWII veteran. Arthur William Matthew Carney, (November 4, 1918 - November 9, 2003) was drafted into the US Army in 1944 and participated in D-Day landings at Normandy. Carney received scrapnel wounds to his right leg, resulting in it being three quarters of an inch shorter than his left leg. He walked with a limp for the rest of his life.

LOL, another Democratic media clown outted by being tapped by a Democratic administration. And to think this guy was considered a serious journalist when all he was was a Democratic shill. Not that we didn’t know-—Time and CNN just thought we were too stupid to know. Now the facade is blown.

He’s got that typical smug, smirking, condescending look of superiority on his rosy cheeked face.... another liberal, left-wing marxist metro-sexual image of the dimturd socialist demoRATs. I don’t know anything about him...but may he roast in hell just for being a demoRAT!

Mr. Amanpour is Jamie Rubin from the Klinton administration.

Madeline Halfbright brought half the State Department to Italy for their marriage. At our expense.

I thought he was the former Clinton Admin dude who’s married to Amanpour. At least Shipman is attractive.

Nope.
You know this smarmy little twerp is going to be a worm like Gibbs cept not as dumb.

That part would be ok if they’d stayed there at their own expense. Such a deal!

Sounds about right:
car•ny 1 |ˈkärnē| (also car•nie or car•ney)
noun [usu. as adj. ] informal
a carnival or amusement show : a carny atmosphere.
• a person who works in a carnival or amusement show
