They’re Not Laughing With You
Oh yeah, anticipation makes the harder they fall worth two in the bush.
Or something like that.
Robert Gibbs’ verbal acrobatics are becoming increasingly unbelievable (much like the Chinese Olympic gymnasts), not that they had an abundance of credibility to begin with. Watch the vid and smile at the warm feeling of vindication that results from seeing (hearing?) the press corp laugh openly at Gibb’s ridiculousness.
This is happening early. It bodes about as well for the Obama administration as North Korean volatility does for world peace.
Still, it’s a pretty scant consolation for us. Bobby, Barry n’ Bidey might not like being the target of ridicule, but they still get to implement their socialist takeover.
Perhaps this trio might seek the advice of another fabled triumvirate?

Do you ever think Gibbs gets up there and inside his head just says, “Man I hate this job.”
This is a great video. Can’t help but laugh with the reporters.

“Robert Gibbs’ verbal acrobatics are becoming increasingly unbelievable”
And to think he does it all without a net!

Leslie & J, welcome and thank you both, your sites have been added.
Paco, he does too have a net – nothing he says can ever contradict Obama, because Obama can hold every position on every issue, silly!

The best press secretary ever according to the state-run media.

See, and watching stuff like this makes me wish they had a CJ Cregg in place, a la West Wing. I mean, if I’m going to disagree with most of what you say, you could at least say it with some charm, class, and good humor.

kireina, yeah, massaging the message a little more could at least provide some brief respite.
Fat chance of that, though, as Bobby delights in telling us how it’s gonna be.
