Carney: I never told a lie (Yeah, Right!)
The Hill ^ | June 19,2014 | Justin Sink

White House press secretary Jay Carney says he never lied to the press corps during his three and a half years as the top presidential spokesman.

“Honestly, it's not because I’m a paragon of virtue, it’s because that would be a terrible way to do the job,” Carney told reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast.

The press secretary admitted that he sometimes could not or did not want to answer questions posed by reporters.

“What you do when you can’t say is you don’t,” Carney said. “You take the question or you explain what you can.”

Carney will leave his post as press secretary on Friday. His deputy, Josh Earnest, is slated to take over his position.

Opponents of the administration have accused the longtime press secretary of occasionally playing fast and loose with the truth. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) blasted him last summer as a “paid liar” for his explanation of the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative political groups.

“The administration is still, their paid liar, their spokesperson, picture behind, he’s still making up things about what happened and calling this local rogue,” Issa told CNN.

Agree. But it’s just another part of the overall game.

You brain dead pudding! I certain that you actually believe that whatever “0” told you was the truth.

Even Bahgdad Bob was more truthful than this clown—and a heck of a lot more entertaining!

Oh, yeah. On another thread I am getting a boat load of semantics vs. a mountain of evidence that I posted and he thinks he’s kicking my butt. “Bush said” is his main argument and that is his bottom line argument. If that kind of BS flies on FR then it is no wonder “the dog ate a dozen gov servers” will be swallowed by the public at large.

Jay can lie with the effortlessness and precision of the finest golf swing. He will be missed by his lawless master.

Jay doesn’t call it “lying”, he calls it dissertation of propaganda.

Of course it flies. Look at the lesser evil believers. Few ‘think’. Many ‘feel’.

And what number lie is that? Buehler? Buehler? Buehler? Buehler?

A much better statement, Mr. Carney: “I never told the truth.” That IS the truth.

Hi, My name is Jay Carney and I think you all are idiots....

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Shouldn't that read I KNOW you all are idiots....

Reason being he has knowingly stood in front of his panting admirers and lied through not only his EYE TEETH, but even through his fillings.

Sort of reminiscent of W J 'WeeWillie' Clinton standing at the podium with a grinning algore behind him with the 'knowing look' of actually believing Clinton was telling the truth while most everyone in the room KNEW Clinton was lying, including Clinton.

I applaud his consistency. He always lies. For him to say, “I lied”, thus telling the truth, would be a paradox.

“Those were factually ambiguous statements, not lies.”
