Wage Gap and the White House: You can't make this shit up

The white house has been using the grossly misleading 77% number since at least 2012. When the Republican's point out that the White House pays women who work at the White House only 88% of what men make, they respond with this:

“Men and women in equivalent roles here earn equivalent salaries,” Mr. Carney said. “Some of the most senior positions in the White House are filled by women, including national security adviser, homeland security adviser, White House counsel, communications director, senior adviser, deputy chief of staff.”

He said that the 88-cent statistic was misleading because it aggregates the salaries of White House staff members at all levels, including the lowest levels, where women outnumber men.

Yes, more light on this lie that never ends is a good thing.
