The New York Times reports on the trend of mainstream journalists going to work in the Obama administration and gets this stunning quote from Jay Carney:

Mr. Carney, the former Time bureau chief who now works as Mr. Biden's spokesman, said he did not view his job as particularly political either, given his boss's promise of bipartisanship.

"This is a Democratic administration; we're obviously on that side of the aisle, but I don't see this as a partisan job at all," Mr. Carney said in an interview.

How deep in the tank do you have to be to convince yourself that you're a non-partisan spokesman?
