Jay Carney Relaxes at Home with His Wife, NBC News Something or Other Claire Shipman, Their Children, and Vintage Soviet Red Army Propaganda Posters
— Ace

Sure, why not.

It's the American dream.

By the way, this is clearly a staged picture anyway, so it doesn't really matter that it's photoshopped, but...



... I guess my question would be, why do these Very Intelligent Progressives not have an actual wall with enough books to fill a photo's frame?

I guess the bookshelves were pretty bare, huh?

Maybe their TV was actually located on that third "bookshelf," and the photographer didn't like the asymmetry.

Still... I dunno... most people I know have a lot of books...

Pretty Ironic... that they have Red Army posters on the wall, and a magazine that serves and flatters the nomenklatura of the Potomac Kremlin alters the photo to make Carney more representative of the New American Man.

Context? Gristle Encased Head and Lizzy point out that the couple met while serving, I mean serving in, Moscow:

"Carney and Shipman met in Moscow in the early 1990s when he was writing for Time and she was reporting for CNN..."

Ehhhh... yeah I could see having some souvenirs from Moscow. But those Red Army posters aren't souvenirs; they weren't current in 1991.* They're sold by Etsy types.

I do get having an affinity for a city you lived in, even if it was a Soviet pit of despair. But I don't know -- it's not like they've got something cool on the wall like a train station's sign. You know, something they either found in the trash, or bribed someone to get, or stole.

An artifact I'd understand. But a propaganda poster you can get from any Tastefully Pro-Socialist designer isn't really an artifact. It's just Kounter-Kultural Kitsch.


* Actually it occurs to me that I have no idea if those posters were still current in 1991.

7 So, Carney supports rape? Not only did the Red Army rape millions of women as they moved westward, they also raped the Jewish women liberated at Birkenau and killed some of them afterwards.

11 I like Russian constructivist art as much as the next person... but, it kinda says something that it's not displayed with any sense of irony. I mean, my business is based out of Russia. I can have that stuff and laugh, but a high placed US official having it looks weird.

15 Damn, they could have at least put up a poster of "We." At least that was a take down of the whole communist way of life and inspired 1984. But no, let's go with the Uncle Joe wants "You" poster because that's 'Merica.

50 Senator Reid behind BLM Land Grab of Bundy's 140 years working NEVADA Cattle Ranch. The BLM document entitled “Cattle Trespass Impacts” directly states that Bundy’s cattle “impacts” solar development, more specifically the construction of “utility-scale solar power generation facilities” on “public lands.” “Non-Governmental Organizations have expressed concern that the regional mitigation strategy for the Dry Lake Solar Energy Zone utilizes Gold Butte as the location for offsite mitigation for impacts from solar development, and that those restoration activities are not durable with the presence of trespass cattle,” the document states. Marcus Stern (Reuters) “[Sen. Reid] and his oldest son, Rory, are both involved in an effort by a Chinese energy giant, ENN Energy Group, to build a $5 billion solar farm and panel manufacturing plant in the southern Nevada desert,” he wrote. “Reid has been one of the project’s most prominent advocates, helping recruit the company during a 2011 trip to China and applying his political muscle on behalf of the project in Nevada.” “His son, a lawyer with a prominent Las Vegas firm that is representing ENN, helped it locate a 9,000-acre (3,600-hectare) desert site that it is buying well below appraised value from Clark County, where Rory Reid formerly chaired the county commission.” Drudge link article by Kit Daniels, 4-11-14 BLM attempted cover-up of Sen.

87 I don't think Carney is actually one of the extreme planning-for-the-takeover types, BTW - wild guess there. I think he's one of the inured-in-the-culture types who doesn't see anything particularly significant about the Soviet artwork. There could even be a completely alternate explanation, like it was put there by the photographer or they have a wide collection of propaganda posters and we only saw a few (that could be a joke about his job). In that case, I would be overreacting. But this is also not in a vacuum, see the Mao ornaments mentioned above. Also it does look very creepy.

89 I was just reading about Claire Sheridan. Her mother was the older sister of Jenny Churchill. Her husband ws killed in WWI and she hooked up with another guy not too long afterwards. And she fucked everyone. You name a personality from that time period and she fucked him. She fucked a lot of famous actors, too. Worse, she went to Russia in 1920 and fucked every high level commie mass murderer there. Just fuck fuck fuck! She got MI6's attention for her constant disparaging remarks about the UK and they suspected her of espionage. And she died of old age in 1970 or there abouts. A dirty commie fuck toy to the end.

111 I'm gonna go with intentional trolling. Look at the shadows above the copied/reversed books. Totally different. Looks like they cut out the book images, reversed 'em and pasted in a more shadowed bookcase. If it was laziness, the shadows would likely be the same as well, although I suppose they could have been added afterwards to hide some digital artifacts.

Your Betters and the Top Men, and their families, will be allowed meat. Mounds of it. Their socially important roles require it. You ordinary proles will eat veggie rabbit chow. You may not like it, but you'll eat it. Or else.

240 So of course having Carney, of the administration, and Shipman, of ABC News, should in no way imply that ABC would ever go easy on its news coverage of the administration. HEAVENS no. That would NEVER happen.

Meanwhile, in other news of the institutional left, "green energy" billionaire jerk Tom Steyer, noted for his huge efforts to derail projects like Keystone XL that would compete with his investments, has hired a new policy adviser.

That adviser is the absolutely predictable Ivy-League-and-Berkeley type. He's spent his entire adult life in academia, NGOs and government. Hasn't ever worked in the actual private sector world.

But it's the fine details of the biography that tell the real backstory.

The guy grew up in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Shitcargo -- "just a few blocks from President ObamaÂ’s Kenwood residence".  Mmm-hmmm. Do tell. What a coincidence.

And he's married to a "senior vice president for programs at the Environmental Defense Fund."

So yeah, we really have reached a stage in America's steady devolution where these New Class mandarins really do spend their ENTIRE GODDAMNED LIVES in the glossy bubble with other New Class arrogant fuckwits of exactly the same background. Raising dynasties of more little New Class mandarins to be.

Lefty academia, lefty media, lefty public sector, all dating and intermarrying and promoting and defending one another constantly. So Carney and Shipman fit right into that whole nutty little world quite neatly.

303 I think we should make it illegal for anyone so attached to the Whitehouse to do anything with news. If a journalist is cozy with politicians that is a conflict of interest! They need to go to jail or find another line of work. How can anyone report honestly on someone they have dinner dates with? I couldn't be unbiased about my friends! I wouldn't tell their secrets! It is common sense! I am serious. This coziness between the Democrat Party and the Press has ruined this country. And should carry a prison sentence.

371 Oh my! That photoshopped finger is just too funny! As far as the Soviet propaganda posters go, they are all the rage amongst the arty class. Many graphic designers find the graphics to be "kewl," and they often sell for big bucks. I think they look cool, too, but then I would consider collecting them to be right up there with collecting nazi paraphernalia. The Soviets killed far more people than Hitler, and I couldn't stand to have such things about my abode. But again, there is a nostalgia for the old Soviet Union, and bands like the Decemberists are a great example of the whole indie leftist arty movement romanticizing the USSR. In their minds, the bad guys won, and the long for a life as the modern day equivalent of the noble peasant picking apples in the orchard. It's pretty sick, but they are making headway among the young. It's cool to be an anarchocommunist. It's hip to hate the USA. Capitalism is evil, and freedom, well, as an artist friend of mine once put it, "Freedom isn't cool anymore; it's a dirty word." Of course he said this while donning a Mao hat, which to me is more like a dunce cap.

Plus an engineering text from 1927 on airship construction. I couldn't fill a single one of those shelves. But I have something like 300 books on the kindle.
