Yet it’s not just evil men and right-wingers raising questions about the Democrats’ Equal Pay Day theater. Reporters bombarded Carney about a new American Enterprise Institute study that found that the salary for the median female White House staffer is 12 percent lower than for a male staffer. Carney meekly replied that at least the White House pay gap isn’t as bad as the national average.
Both the left-wing Daily Beast and the free-market Wall Street Journal opinion pages debunked the “77 cents on a dollar” myth, which inflates the gender gap by failing to account for education, occupation and marital status. Challenged on the White House promotion of junk science, Carney sneered at a Reuters reporter that he “would expect something a little more precise.”

Ah yes, unicorns and the gender pay gap.
