José Canseco steps up to the plate: 'I am available to replace Jay Carney'

Jay Carney’s saying goodbye to the White House, but former MLB-er and occasional poet José Canseco wants President Obama to know that he’s willing to bat clean-up:

I am available to replace Jay Carney @barackobama #yeswecanseco

Just check out his qualifications:

I have trained turtles, goats, and dogs I can train the media @barackobama #yeswecanseco

We’re listening …

I know that the press is wrong half the time and only 20% of the other half is true @barackobama #yeswecanseco

Unfortunately for José, Josh Earnest has already been tapped to replace Carney. But just because this press secretary thing won’t work out doesn’t mean the president should write him off completely:

Or we could talk about Russia ambassador opening if that's a better fit @barackobama #yeswecanseco

There you go!
