The Only Job Ex-Journalist Jay Carney Can Get is at MSNBC

Jay Carney used to be the Washington Bureau Chief for Newsweek. He worked for Time reporting on Moscow. And if these reports are correct, then after spending years flacking for Obama, the only gig this former “journalists” could get was at MSNBC.

How pathetic and predictable.

Sources inside MSNBC say former White House Spokesman Jay Carney, who recently resigned from his post at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, will likely be headed to MSNBC.

Carney is in talks for a contributor position.

If it happens, Carney would follow in the natural footsteps of a few other aides to President Obama who were welcomed into the MSNBC family upon leaving their jobs. The last White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, became an MSNBC contributor in May, 2013, while David Axelrod, a top aide to Obama, became one in February 2013.

Except those people weren’t career journalists. Carney was.

On the lighter brighter side Carney could help Sharpton pronounce those 'long words' he has so much trouble with...

“I just assumed he would write a book about his time at the White House. And make money just as Hillary hoped to make tons of money from her book.’

Hillary made good $ on that book. It was the publisher who lost big.

I don’t think Carney will be complaining about his huge salary.

The publishing house was currying favor with elite liberals... and possibly buying future access to Clinton... It's like those million dollar speeches Hillary gives in Arab countries like the UAE... this has little to nothing to do with the official cover story. Carney doesn't have future access to sell... he would have to push 'new exposed dirt' or 'great insight'... and we know Jay lacks great insight...

Still I think Hillary’s publisher was hoping to make back more $. Few thought her sales would be this bad.

Every publishing house wants it all - a best seller, happy customers, good will among those they admire...
