It ain’t easy being Jay. Tasked with follow-up after President Obama’s Newtown, Conn., school massacre speech (which he primarily wrote all by himself, the White House will have you know), the press secretary took hits from all sides for his press briefing today.
Even Jay Carney is frustrated with Jay Carney right now.

Jay Carney is like the kid who plays Prince Joffrey. His entire job is to make sure people hate him.

Jay Carney now saying Obama has backed assault weapons ban reinstatement since it expired. (True, but he never made it a priority.)

But the worst moment was when Carney exploited the Newtown school massacre to argue for Obama’s tax increases. Yes, he did.
Jay Carney just pulled disabled kids like Sandy Hook Monster into the tax debate.
