Well, he might not be as practiced at lying as Jay Carney was at his final debut but he will work on it and get better. It's a practiced art, and takes time; but finally takes a toll on your morals and life in general.

Just ask Jay.

He had to quit to protect his own sanity. It's overly obvious.

This new shill is just in his infancy. Let him grow through expertise then moral crash, like Jay did.
