Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, is attempting to do comedy, taking shots at Sarah Palin, during an official White House press briefing?
Good grief.
"White House mocks Sarah Palin from podium"
Even the White House's top spokesman is getting in on the act of mocking former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin for looking to talking points written on her palm during a speech to "tea party" activists.
Robert Gibbs showed the words "hope" and "change" on his hand as he started his daily briefing with reporters on Tuesday.
Many in the room, where President Barack Obama had spoken just moments before about the need for bipartisanship, groaned at the political shot.
Did Gibbs think the room would erupt with laughter?
What was the point?
He acted like a doofus and his stunt was met with groans from members of the press.
Obama had to know what Gibbs was about to do. Bipartisanship? Yeah, right.
I assume Obama probably thought it was hilarious. After all, he finds humor in mocking the Special Olympics. I'm sure he thinks Gibbs' shtick was funny.
This White House is a joke.
The White House has been a joke since the Clinton administration. If things get much worse I'm really afraid that the reactionary vote in 2112 might put someone as farcical as Palin in the Oval orifice(sic). Then watch as SNL just runs straight news to get its best rating ever. I hope we can avoid providing such fodder to the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteSoooo presidential of this White House to attack private citizens, and that is exactly what Palin is. How petty and little.
ReplyDeleteIt becomes glaringly obvious just how good a man Bush was with this clown in office. They mercilessly attacked him and he never fought back. He always remained above the fray. I miss that guy and I am sorry that I ever thought bad about him.
