Could Jay Carney Come Full Circle?

One U.S. official who can rest easy is White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who will not be on Putin’s sanctions list. It’s been an ongoing rumor in administration circles that Carney is quietly lobbying to replace former Ambassador Mike McFaul as the next U.S. Ambassador to Moscow, who will also not be on the list.

“Exclusive: Russia Will Sanction U.S. Senators,” the Daily Beast, today.

Oh and by the way, speaking of coming full circle, “Report: Putin Claims that the Dissolution of the USSR was Illegal,” Bryan Preston noted last week at the PJ Tatler.
