1. Jay Carney should have said "Rush who? Next question. Sorry you wasted that one."

There is no reason to answer these kinds of questions. The media does not need every stupid question answered. Yeah the "Donald Trump" answer is cute but even better is not to engage at all.

It should be pointed out every single time.
