Charles Krauthammer, though pleased as the rest of us to watch Carney hoist on the White House’s petard, rightly asserts that judging anyone as engaged in sexist discrimination by this metric is unfair:

“Is there anybody who thinks that Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett and the other important people in this administration are deliberately discriminating against women in the White House? Of course not. In fact, when Jay Carney was asked about this he gave the remarkable answer of ‘well, that’s better than the others are doing.

That’s what this is a gift to.” As for Obama’s reckless use of the 77 cent statistic, Will said President Obama is acting as an “intellectual incompetent the way he’s handling as propaganda social science.”
