NYDailyNews: White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is stepping down, President Obama announced Friday in a surprise statement at the start of Carney's daily press briefing.Ok, I replaced the 'G' with an 'F'...nonetheless, good riddance to this annoying spokeshole! Just keep'em rolling, though.
Carney, who said he planned to leave in mid-June, will be replaced by Josh Earnest, a deputy press secretary.
"In April, Jay came to me in the Oval Office and said that he was thinking of moving on, and I was not thrilled, to say the least ... but Jay has had to wrestle with this decision for quite some time," the President told reporters.
Obama praised Carney for his "good heart" and "temperament" as he dealt with the media since he replaced Robert [F]ibbs as the White House's chief spokesman in early 2011.
Obama's next, right? If only...
