#ReasonsCarneyIsLate: Why is Clown Carney late for briefing? Scrawling in his tear-stained diary?

Yep. Press secretary Jay Carney is late for today’s press briefing. Shockah!

RT @jimacostacnn: Given Carney's tendency to start a little late, possible that briefing and Holder's 1pm newser will happen simultaneously.

@DrewMTips @JonahNRO Or maybe just running.

Heh. It keeps getting worse for Clown Carney, as the Obama administration scandals continue to grow.

"Crom, I've never asked you for help before. But if you don't help me now, to Hell with you." Jay Carney right before presser.

Is he scrawling in his tear-stained diary? Listening to REM’s “Everybody Hurts” on a loop? Twitter users kindly offer up some reasons why Jay Carney is late.

#ReasonsCarneyIsLate Can't remember where "there" is – apparently, there's no "there" there.
