Translation: “Even I know that working for the Cruz campaign won’t lead to a nice, high-profile job in the Cruz Administration. 'Cause there won’t be one.”

Back to the Village to trade bon mots with Congressional wife in waiting Tweety who’ll have to agree to disagree in that jovial temporizing way…
For Cruz, from this point on, it’s ‘Green Egg & Ham’…

Moonie Times, Human Events and Clownhall? Quite an impressive C. V. she’s got going there.

I doubt even Carpenter expected Cruz to be a favorite to win, but he was supposed to be the great Tea Party challenger, the guy who was going to make trouble for the establishment candidates in Iowa and beyond. As it turns out he can’t get past the likes of Carson, Huckabee and Paul, let alone bump shoulders with Walker, Rubio and Bush. My guess is the departure was mutually agreed upon, as I’m sure each thought the other sucked at their job.

Previous employers: Washington Times, Human Events and Townhall.com. Yeah, she has a well rounded worldview. The perfect person to craft Ted Cruz’s messaging. She’ll be missed. Sychophants of this caliber aren’t easy to find.

This is the same brat who complained about not appropriate healthcare coverage for staffers?

She tweeted this after Carnival Cruz made his ill timed Biden “joke”.

PROTIP: If you hear a piece of fake Cruz audio from a fake Cruz fundraiser from a fake reporter from a fake news outlet it might be....FAKE!

We all knew Fox was a fake news outlet but she has to be careful if she wants to be hired there as a contributor of hatred and ignorance.

Well, she seems highly intelligent and she certainly is lovely, but DAMN! What a sorry-ass judge of character.

I suppose the insanity of it all finally got to him.

This is probably more of something to pay attention to than Bush’s staff turn over, simply because they have been together much longer, and dropping a press secretary that is well acquainted with the candidate usually happens when friction has risen. Either she has had enough or he has…which could mean that the campaign is not quite a big happy family right now.

Is she leaving to go be the author of the sequel to Green Eggs and Ham…?

In all fairness, can you really be leaving something that exists only in the mind of Ted Cruz?

From the photograph, the woman standing next to Cruz probably has a great deal of things to get in order.

That would require a level of talent unattainable by Ms Carpenter.

She didn’t leave because she stopped believing in the general Cruz message. She’s a DeMint follower. She’s a true believer in the whole Teabagger BS.
