Video: Jay Carney Asked about Hoffa's Comments, Looks Foolish

Perhaps nothing so demonstrably illustrates the disparity between Barack Obama's words in the wake of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting than his silence in response to the words of Teamsters president James Hoffa, Jr. at a Labor Day rally in Detroit. Not only did Obama have kind words for Hoffa on the same stage but in the hours and days after Hoffa exhorted the crowd to 'take these son of a bit***s out,' the president and the DNC Chair have both remained silent on the issue. This prompted ABC's Jake Tapper to ask White House press secretary Jay Carney about the double standard. As a result, Carney looks patently foolish and Tapper was obviously agitated.

Wow.
