“It’s a Potemkin application
process,” said Carlson, who is also the co-host of “Fox & Friends Weekend.” “The operator is there to make you feel good, but it doesn’t expedite your application at all. It goes to the same place the rest of them go, which is into the ether. To watch Jay Carney attack Jon Karl of all people, who is really a good reporter and fair and smart person, really shows you the depths to which they have sunk. It’s just appalling — like it’s Jon Karl’s fault for asking a totally straightforward and honest question. Carney, 20 years as a reporter, part of him has got to know this is not an adequate response to a straightforward question, but I don’t think they have another answer. So, it’s just another sign of their desperation, I would say.”

[VIDEO] JAY CARNEY SEEMS TO LOSE IT OVER ABC REPORTER’S TOUGH OBAMACARE QUESTIONS: ‘I GIVE UP’
White House press secretary Jay Carney and ABC News reporter Jon Karl got into a tense back-and-forth Monday, with Karl pressing Carney to explain the continued failure of the Obamacare website.

“I’m going to go back to what the President said, he said you can bypass the website, and apply by phone or in person, and it could be done in 25 minutes, but these memos say that ‘at the end of the day, we are all stuck in the same queue, we all have to go through the same portal,’” said Karl.
The problem with this promise, Karl continued, is that phone and paper applications still have to go through the program’s error-riddled website — contrary to the president’s promise.
Things didn’t get any better as Karl persisted, prompting Carney to mock the ABC News reporter.
“Jon, I get it, but the person who calls isn’t the one who continues to wait after the paper application is filled,” Carney said, imitating Karl’s mannerisms.
“Your mocking is entertaining,” the reporter said, “but the President said you can apply within 25 minutes, that’s not true.”
Carney became increasingly flustered.
“You can have this soliloquy by yourself,” he said. “I think everybody else here understands what I’m saying. I’m sorry I can’t say the same for you.”
“Everyone else seems to get it Jon, except for you. I give up,” he concluded:
