Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney will join CNN as a political commentator, the network announced Wednesday.

He will start Wednesday night as President Barack Obama makes a prime-time statement about the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Sam Feist, CNN's Washington bureau chief said in a statement.

"Jay's unique experience as both a journalist and a White House press secretary make him an invaluable voice for the network as we cover the final two years of the Obama Administration and look ahead to the coming campaigns," Feist said. "We're fortunate to have Jay on our air tonight to provide analysis and insight surrounding the President's address to the nation."


Carney said when he left the White House in May that he'd maintain a public presence in the media. He also signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau

1. It was McCain's old man shouting over Carney with blatherings, versus Carney's reasoned words

and measured tone that sealed the deal.

If only they got rid of Gingrich and Coop, it would be a good start.
