The Worst Job in the World

I always get those emails from time to time with pictures of the worst jobs in the world. Usually, they involve an elephant, a very large pile of fecal matter and some poor slob with a shovel. But, these days, with the White House under fire for numerous scandals, the worst job in the world has to be the White House Press Secretary. And the poor slob with that job is Jay Carney. You gotta feel for this guy. Obama just lets him go out there every day and get hammered by the press. At least Nixon had the decency to tell his press secretary what lies to tell. It’s really a shame that John Ehrilchman and Bob Haldeman aren't still alive, as they could provide Mr. Carney some pristine advice – and that is, when you know your boss is covering up stuff, resign and save yourself from being fired and disgraced. At a minimum, you wouldn't have to serve time in a resort prison in the panhandle of Florida. But the old NCO has to say he respects Jay Carney. Even though he works for a fool, he is loyal. I just hope he doesn't think there will be a reward when he leaves the job. Perhaps he can get a spot on Dancing with the Stars – If he’s learned anything from being Obama’s Press Sec, it’s how to dance.
