I'm sure Jay Carney is shedding a tear as he lies and BSes for the last time as White House Press Secretary. :'-(

Let’s hope Josh Earnest proves to be a worthy successor:

Jay Carney's Last White House Press Briefing http://t.co/IUmKuoai7l Guess we'll need to get @jearnest44 a pair of tap shoes for briefings
— Susan Reaney (@SSReaney) June 18, 2014

Those are some pretty big tap shoes to fill.

His final lie before leaving his post. RT @KatiePavlich Carney thanks all of the reporters "I have loved every minute of everyday"
— Jim Antle (@jimantle) June 18, 2014

But we have no doubt that Earnest is up to it.
