FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Jay Carney comes into his own by denying Hilary Rosen hers.

For a given value of “his own.” Short version of this Jay Carney clip: Hilary who? Hilary Rosen? The White House has so many people coming through, after all…

Somewhere, Robert Gibbs is nodding to himself and thinking, Yes. The chrysalis has fallen away to reveal… well, a prime example of Dermatobia hominis (human bot fly).

Well, they can’t all be pretty, pretty butterflies.

Moe Lane (crosspost)

PS: Yes, I am well aware that if bot flies actually cocooned they wouldn’t have made this list.  Then again, it’s the human bot fly reproductive cycle that otherwise makes that particular insect a nigh-perfect metaphor for your average Democratic White House Press Secretary.  Work with me here, people.

PPS: If you don’t know what the bot fly reproductive cycle is, you probably will be better off by not clicking the links.

    No, they are flies.

    Hilary Rosen is a professional lobbyist. She was paid $1 million by the Hollywood recording industry. Her “achievements” included lobbying Congress to destroy Napster, hobble the online music delivery industry, and impose the DRM copy protection scheme on us.

    After that she went to work for BP, keeping them in good odor in Washington right up to the time of the big oil spill in 2010.

    I always thought of lobbyists like scabies, burrowing under Uncle Sam’s skin to eat the flesh there.

    It appears Mr. Carney appears to have drunk from it’s waters.

    is the media not skewering him for it. They sit there day in and day out, sucking up anything given to them like groupies to a celebrity.

    Carney should have been laughed or booed out of the room.
