White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his family are featured in a worshipful profile in this month's Washingtonian magazine.

It's the sort of adoring journalistic exercise reserved for only the most handsome of the power elite. In it you can find out details about the Carney dog (a cousin to presidential pooch Sonny!), and how much the press secretary's tie costs ($135).

But keen observers may notice the kitchen decor in the photo: Soviet propaganda posters. They really are the perfect pop of color whether you are the dour and sincere Nikita Khrushchev or the cheeky press-wrangler for a president who is constantly accused of being a socialist himself.

Well, that is where she brings her ideas from.

What boy that age would agree to wearing red skin tight slacks ( or are they leotards?)? What real boy would wear black and white checkered slip on shoes?

Who are these people?

[little jeremiah]

That is good. Barry you...

Sort of like “Eff You”.

I never eat that many melons in a year. Costs too much.

Check out what the boy is wearing in the article's photos. Red skin-tight slacks? Slip on shoes with black and white checks?

Do you know any boys who dress like that? I don't!

I think you’re right, Agnes.

this photo should give Moosechelle a heart attack:

2 fruit bowls, a plate of flapjacks and bacon, hard boiled eggs and scones in the foreground.
A platter of sausages and meats behind the sink, with sliced bread next to it
A fruit shortcake on a pedastal, with a 3 monsters stack of monster flapjacks just below and a huge plate of pastries, including a teddy-bear-shaped pastry next to that, balancing out a handful of melons.

I don’t even notice the people in the picture! It’s an ad for food!

Well played!

I thought that was funny. Like the pancakes with butter melting, just sitting in a sea of fruit no family could eat alone.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah I usually keep 7 or 8 cantaloupes on hand for a family of 4. LOL

Mats... Can we call them communists yet?
And why is this any different than Nazi paraphernalia ?

As big a scandal as decorating your home with nazi propaganda.

I see they eat the carb heavy food pyramid diet. I guess they need those SIX STICKS OF BUTTER (near the orange juice)!

There is so much “fake” in that photograph. It is almost like one of those “spot the error” games in reverse.

More fauxtography in the Carney household...

I think Obama’s college records would be very revealing on a number of levels. His real politics would be one. His utter ignorance of history and economics would be another. And I strongly suspect he was admitted to at least one institution as a foreign student.

He is probably trying to impress Vlad Putin so he can line up a job when we run his sorry,lying,commie ass out of OUR COUNTRY!
