Jay Carney: The Worst of Times

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has had the best of times, but now he's having the worst of times. With Benghazi talking points, IRS targeting right-wing groups and the Justice Department targeting AP reporters, ol' Jay is getting LOTS of questions these days.

Politico put together what seems to be his standard answer to a question he doesn't want to answer: "I appreciate the question."
The link is below. I can tell you he uses variations of "I appreciate the question" 131 times in this video. If you think there is a surprise ending, there isn't. I hope you appreciate the heads up on that. Here's the link:

Hard times for a White House, especially one that depends more on its own web site and social media for getting the word out on what they're doing. They don't like going through the media so, when times are tough, like now, they are inexperienced at how to really do it. Note the special off-the-record briefing they did for selected media -- in the middle of a crisis situatin -- which, shockingly, ticked off those in the press who were not invited.
