Jay Carney: Plausible deniabiity

  Jay Carney has to be the most devious press man ever in front of a camera. He's now criticizing PALIN for politicizing the Secret Service Agent's leering comments about her on his Facebook page. Politico:
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney on Friday accused Sarah Palin and other Republicans of trying   to politicize the Secret Service and Army photo scandals.[SNIP] [saying]“Any assertion by those politicians that you mentioned should be valued by the cost that you paid for it. It is preposterous to politicize the Secret Service, to politicize the behavior of the terrible conduct of some soldiers in Afghanistan, in a war that has been going on for ten years.”
  Seriously? This woman has not only been savaged by the media, liberals, Hollywood and just about anybody who has a liberal bent, and now for her criticism of an agent who was supposed to be protecting her and her family but was instead leering at her SHE is politicizing the Secret Service??? 
  UPDATE: MSNBC: Palin was "bragging" about his "ogling" her....
  And has anybody noticed that the press has asked more than once if anyone from the White House was involved in the Secret Service scandal:
Q    Has anybody from the West Wing Chief of Staff’s office talked to any of the West Wing staffers or the Executive Office of the President staffers who were in Cartagena on what they know preceded that week?  Was there any involvement at all by members of the President’s staff? 
MR. CARNEY:  There are conversations that have happened at senior White House staff levels with the Secret Service and with Director Sullivan, but not with regards -- as I understand it -- with regards to the incident itself, which did not -- has to do with members of the Secret Service and members of the military. 
Q    You’re positive there were no White House Executive Office of the President employees involved? 
MR. CARNEY:  I have not heard otherwise, Ann.
  And now suddenly Senator Grassley is asking? 
  I'm willing to guess, given the plausible deniability exhibited by Carney, the repeated questions by the press, and now the followup by Grassley, that there's more there. 
  If Grassley is doing this just to draw more attention to it through politicizing, then it's pretty disgusting. If he's doing it to draw attention to the fact that the POTUS may be endangered, then that's appropriate.
  If the White House staff were involved, then it wouldn't be too surprising.
  And it's a whole nother can of worms.
  It certainly wouldn't be the first time they've been involved in unsavory or unappealing circumstances.
