Just wondering, he seems to always be giving press conferences.

Once you are done being press secretary you will get $1 million/yr. in the private sector easy.

Had to look him up.

Hell yes I'd do it! Just say words that don't necessarily have to actually say anything, and if you're wrong, what? A bunch of pissed off people... continue to be pissed off?

For $172k a year?!

You're joking, right?

You get to make comically non-committal statements, travel, and mock the press. Then, after that, people throw money at you for the rest of your life. Yeah, I'd take that "job."

Supreme Court Justice is probably the best gig. Probably better than Vice President even, since it's lifetime and has plenty of interesting problems to solve. You get respect and can tell people to shut up at work. The angry protestors stay outside for the most part.

Carney is what we used to call a 'tool'. His
face should be in the dictionary next to the
word.

Okay, you get the illusion of respect, and can tell people to shut up, and you think you're fixing interesting problems.

I had to vote no since I have never been able to lie like he does with a straight face.

Nor could I ever work for the Sgt Schultz administration - I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS UNDER MY WATCH!!!!!!

Oh god...don't get me started on this loser. That smug look on his face during press conferences really irritates me.

All I know is that Ari Fleischer wasn't smug at all.

He was OK. Nothing special though. In fact, most press secretaries are pretty forgetable. It's such a useless position since they never really tell the public anything new.

I answered yes, but only if they let me grow a beard. I couldn't do the job if I'd have to look in a mirror to shave.

All I can say is, he doesn't bug me quite as much as Robert Gibbs, which would be almost impossible anyways

If Dana Perino can do that job then a potato can do that job and for that kind of money, I would do that job even though I have no more memory retention than a potato.

That's a whole lot of money to never really answer the question...

Of course, all of them are like that to some degree.
