Biden Appoints TIME Chief As Aide
The fawning media coverage given the Obama-Biden ticket during the campaign is beginning to pay dividends as the Obama-Biden campaign began paying off some of its campaign debts.
TIME Magazine’s Jay Carney was tapped as assistant to the vice president and director of communications. Noted Politico.com;
Carney, the magazine’s Washington bureau chief, is one of Washington’s best-known talking heads, with regular appearances on ABC’s “This Week,” “The McLaughlin Group” and MSNBC’s “Hardball.”
Biden has assembled a team of heavyweights: Ron Klain, who was chief of staff to former Vice President Al Gore, as chief of staff; Mike Donilon, one of Washington’s best connected Democratic consultants, as counselor; and Tony Blinken, a longtime Biden adviser, who is expected to fill a senior role on the National Security Council or on Biden’s staff.
Later in the piece Politico quoted an anonymous ‘Democratic official’ stating the obvious; “There are those on the right who will see this as the embodiment of their assertions about the media and Obama, and this is just making it official.”
