Not so unbelievable. Desperate people often do desperate things. Carney -- knowing that if he answered correctly he would lose his job (and his future as a Democratic party hack as well) -- chose to embarrass himself by showing all the world what he really is: a cringing, squirming lickspittle. The behavior was vile, yes, but not unbelievable. For a very large number of people in American politics, toadyism is a way of life. The guy's pathetic -- but, unfortunately, he's all too believable.
