Washington Examiner

During the White House Press Briefing today, Press Secretary Jay Carney told a reporter to “be mindful of your sources” when asked about the Drudge Report article reporting that Mitt Romney was considering selecting former Army General and current CIA Director David Petraeus as his running mate.

The report asserted that President Obama privately told a top fundraiser that Romney was considering it.

“I can say with absolute confidence, such an assertion has never been uttered by the president.” Carney said. “And again be mindful of your sources.”

    Is there anybody in that press room that takes little jayjay seriously? I mean really, this administration consists of rank amateurs top to bottom.

    The only exception being those who conduct sleazy, corrupt, Chicago thug politics.

    So what is the original source then, cause Drudge just posts other news stories right? He doesn’t write news stories. So where did the original story come from?
