Joe Biden Hires Journalist Jay Carney to Join the Team, for Pay This Time

I'm not sure what Joe Biden will need to communicate as vice president, other than "fetch," but whatever, he's gone ahead and hired himself a director of communications.

Where do you find one of those, I wonder?

Jay Carney is leaving Time magazine after 20 years to be Vice President-elect Joe Biden's communications director in the White House, astonished magazine and gleeful transition sources said.

At the liberal media elite hangouts! Of course. And in a minute we'll get to the part where the transition sources suppress their glee and pretend like this has nothing to do with the liberal media elites having been in the tank for Obama-Biden all along…

A Democratic official close to the selection process said Carney had already decided to do something different after the election, and Biden advisers believed Carney would bring "a fresh perspective" to their deliberations. [...]

The official added: "There are those on the right who will see this as the embodiment of their assertions about the media and Obama, and this is just making it official."

Ah.

So, it is official, then?
