Jay Carney just left the White House podium and he's already joined the ranks of George W. Bush, Tom Brokaw and Mike Ditka in one profitable enterprise: lecturing on the private speaking circuit.
The former Obama administration flack signed on this month with the Washington Speakers Bureau, a gig that came with a signing bonus and is likely to yield payments as high as $100,000 per speech to share his personal presidential anecdotes and analysis of the next two election cycles.
As the most recent high-profile person out the West Wing door, Carney can expect to be in high demand with the universities, corporations and trade associations -- the public and private institutions willing to pay for what has become the standard first move of high-ranking staffers.
