Cable network says it plans to put Carney on the air immediately to analyse President Obama’s speech on Isis

Jay Carney, the former spokesman for President Barack Obama, is joining CNN as a political commentator, the network announced on Wednesday.

Carney, 49, was Obama’s main spokesman for three years. The president announced his departure in May.

CNN announced plans to put Carney on the air right away, to analyze the president’s planned speech Wednesday night about confronting the militant group Isis. Carney also would be highly deployable around the midterm elections in November.

“Jay’s unique experience as both a journalist and a White House press secretary make him an invaluable voice for the network as we cover the final two years of the Obama administration and look ahead to the coming campaigns,” said Sam Feist, Washington CNN bureau chief, in a statement first obtained by Politico. “We’re fortunate to have Jay on our air tonight to provide analysis and insight surrounding the President’s address to the nation.”

Bullshit, prove it. MSNBC is completely fair and balanced, unlike the unabashed conservatards at Faux News.

Uh, no its not.

The news during the day is more fair and balanced in that the personalities, journalists and guests are a mix of both liberal and conservative, but the nighttime pundits are all liberals.

Who the heck is "Mrs. Palin"?

Oh, you must mean $arah the Quitter who made a cameo appearance of governor of Alaska.

I'd say faux is the perfect place for her except they didn't renew her contract. Or did $he quit? Again.

Rough early going for Jay as McCain, of all people, ate him alive last night.

Sorry, using someone's tablet for the first time and thus no idea how to post a link to the Drudge story so maybe someone else will do it. It's a beauty of a beat down.

Jay Carney analyzing Obama's speech is like asking a 5 year old to analyze the lunch Mommy made for him, with all his favorites.

"It's the best ever! My mommy is a great cook!". I expect nothing more from Carney.

So now he gets to prop up this administration from a different venue.
Or is he now considered a journalist...

Is this anywhere as ridiculous as Chelsea Clinton getting an atrocious amount for doing three or four reports - none of which was of any real consequence?
