Jay Carney Resigns

The Washington Times is reporting that Jay Carney resigns as the White House Press Secretary. Does anyone think the timing of this resignation is related to his likely being served a subpoena to appear before the select committee investigating Benghazi? Or was it the VA scandal? Or the IRS scandal?

Maybe Jay has some character after all and decided he cannot lie to Congress and the American people and continue to support the meme? I don't believe in coincidences. Very curious timing to me.

Not sure about any of that. (BTW he's briefing now)

Maybe he has grown a pair. I seriously doubt it though.

Great news!

Thank the good Lord he's gone.

Zero character factor. I'm surprised he could stomach himself for this long.

Good riddance.

Nope, all wrong. He wants a job that pays better to lie.

He'll have to get 51% of the vote for that job.

Or Fast & Furious? Or was that Fast & Loose, or...? Hard to tell, I've run out of fingers & toes.
