We wondered yesterday whether Lanny Davis, who was just hired by Jane Harman as a “media advisor” to deal with the AIPAC flap, was behind her very aggressive effort to show that her sense of humor is intact.

And it looks like we weren’t the only people with questions about Lanny’s role.

Last night, Harman’s office released the following statement:

HARMAN STATEMENT ON LANNY DAVIS

Washington, DC – Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) issued the following statement:

“My day job, road races and family leave me too little time to feed the insatiable beast (the press). Lanny is an old and trusted friend who has expertise in getting the facts out.”

Is it just us, or does having to release a media statement about your media advisor seem less than ideal?
