I honestly can’t think of a sadder, more pathetic political buffoon than White House Press Secretary Jay Carney. This guy’s job is to stand before members of the press every day and lie through his teeth, even when the entire world knows he’s lying. His self-respect must be in the sewers…

poorrichardsnews:
This is disgusting. Richard Faulk, who is the United Nations’ “Special Rapporteur” on human rights, posted a ranting journal this week that basically tells America, “You got what you deserved in Boston.” He blames the bombing on America’s foreign policy and not being accommodating enough to…
