Issa calls Carney a ‘paid liar’

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2013/06/02/issa-calls-carney-a-paid-liar/

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on Sunday referred to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney as a “paid liar” during a discussion of the Internal Revenue Service’s singling out of conservative groups.

“The administration is still, their paid liar, their spokesperson, picture behind, he’s still making up things about what happened and calling this local rogue,” Issa told CNN’s Candy Crowley on “State of the Union,” as he pointed out a picture of Carney on the show’s set.

When pressed on what specifically Issa was charging Carney with lying about, the congressman’s office said he was referring to Carney’s remarks at briefings last month that, in Issa’s view, sought to place blame on employees in the IRS’s Cincinnati office for targeting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status.

On May 21, Carney said: “I think that the tenor of the president’s public comments about it, both in his statement Tuesday night and his public comments the next day, reflect his feelings upon learning about the apparent conduct by our IRS officials in Cincinnati.” A day earlier, Carney discussed “matters involving the office in Cincinnati” in an exchange about when the White House learned of the episode.

That's the job of the White House spokesman. It just is. No one would blink an eye at this description of Scotty Boy back in the Chimp day.

It's just ironic for Issa to be calling anyone a liar.
