Chris Matthews freaks out, wants Obama to “get rid of that damn Teleprompter”

According to Chris Matthews, Obama could solve all his problems if he would just dump his trusty Teleprompter. That’s the key to communicating with the American people and selling his message.

“I really support the President on a lot of his views, in fact all of them almost,” Matthews complained, “but I got to tell you something, Michael, if he doesn’t get rid of that damn Teleprompter, it’s like an eye test. He’s just reading words now. It’s separating him from us.”

“You got to a meeting with him I’m told, if businessmen are invited to meet him at the White House, he hauls out the damn Teleprompter and he reads to them. Well, why even bring people into the room? Just have the damn Teleprompter. I sense it’s getting between him and us. And I thought that speech last night was a terrible, well, a great example rather of him using the Teleprompter instead of his heart and his mind.”

You’re right, Chris. It’s all the Teleprompter’s fault. Obama’s not a socialist, the Teleprompter’s a socialist. Either that or the Teleprompter is a Republican plant. It’s forcing him to read its words. He’s a helpless victim of the Teleprompter, damn it. It’s not his fault.

Here’s some news that should convince Democrats to support the war in Afghanistan

Afghanistan’s dirty little secret: For centuries, Afghan men have taken boys, roughly 9 to 15 years old, as lovers.

afghan-boy-dancing — Just the show Afghan TV needs: Dancing For the Kandahars

Most people would think of it as Afghanistan’s dirty little secret. But President Obama may want to consider it a whole different brand of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”.

Either way, this is the kind of news that could make even the most recalcitrant Democrat support the Afghanistan war. It’s like Proposition 8 on steroids.

It comes from SFGate:

For centuries, Afghan men have taken boys, roughly 9 to 15 years old, as lovers. Some research suggests that half the Pashtun tribal members in Kandahar and other southern towns are bacha baz, the term for an older man with a boy lover. Literally it means “boy player.” The men like to boast about it.

“Having a boy has become a custom for us,” Enayatullah, a 42-year-old in Baghlan province, told a Reuters reporter. “Whoever wants to show off should have a boy.”

In Kandahar, population about 500,000, and other towns, dance parties are a popular, often weekly, pastime. Young boys dress up as girls, wearing makeup and bells on their feet, and dance for a dozen or more leering middle-aged men who throw money at them and then take them home. A recent State Department report called “dancing boys” a “widespread, culturally sanctioned form of male rape.”. . .

“How can you fall in love if you can’t see her face,” 29-year-old Mohammed Daud told reporters. “We can see the boys, so we can tell which are beautiful.”

Even after marriage, many men keep their boys, suggesting a loveless life at home. A favored Afghan expression goes: “Women are for children, boys are for pleasure.”

Fundamentalist imams, exaggerating a biblical passage on menstruation, teach that women are “unclean” and therefore distasteful. One married man even asked Cardinalli’s team “how his wife could become pregnant,” her report said. When that was explained, he “reacted with disgust” and asked, “How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean?”

The bad news? That is one effed up society and one effed up religion.

The good news? PETA will be happy to that Afghanistan’s goats are safe and NAMBLA members will be racing over to Kandahar to join the war effort.

Shocker: Howard Fineman says something rational, Chris Matthews agrees

Good Lord. What a day. First we find ourselves defending CNN’s Rick Sanchez and now we find ourselves agreeing with Howard Fineman and Chris Matthews.

Does anyone have any smelling salts handy? We’re feeling a little faint right now.

But back to the story. Fineman made one of his regular appearances on Hardball and made the point that Obama caused his own “Is Obama a Muslim” problem by not going to church.

Fineman: Can I say something here that’ll probably get me in trouble? But I’m going to say it anyway. Barack Obama probably should have joined a church here. OK? Now, I’m not excusing any of the hatred or nasty language or any of the dirty strategy that we’re talking about. But some things in politics you have to do at least for the symbolism.
Matthews: Yes.
Fineman: Now, he quit the Jeremiah Wright church. OK? But he hasn’t joined any other.
Matthews: Yes.
Fineman: And had he done so and if he’d done so, but especially if he’d done so…
Matthews: Yes.
Fineman: … after he came to town, a lot of this stuff would never have arisen, in my view.
Matthews: Yes.

So there you have it. Fineman and Matthews making sense and us agreeing with them.

But it’s not something we’re proud of.

Arizona gets 30 new troops on the border plus 15 bright, shiny new signs

A few weeks ago we reported that it may be months before the new troops Obama promised to station on the Mexican border actually show up. One Arizona sheriff is now steaming mad because the government is delivering signs almost as fast as it’s delivering troops.

arizona border sign

CNS News reports the details of the deficiency:

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said requests by Arizona law enforcement personnel and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) for 3,000 National Guard troops along the state’s border with Mexico have been answered so far with 1 percent of that number deployed there this week.

“We have a whopping 30 [National Guard troops] this week that are showing up,” Babeu told CNSNews.com. “It’s less than a half-hearted measure designed to fail.”

But the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has placed 15 signs along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 that links San Diego with Phoenix and Tucson warning travelers of drug cartels and human trafficking operations.

We fully expect the Obama administration to announce that these signs cost $1,000,000 each and created or saved 53,000 jobs.

Obama buddy, Governor of Massachusetts says, “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t.”

Turns out that Obama soul mate Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts, is no Glenn Beck fan. Michael Graham of WTKK asked Patrick a simple question and got a surprising answer.

Graham’s question: “Do you have a problem with Glenn Beck having his rally at the Lincoln Memorial?”

Patrick’s response? “It’s a free country. I wish it weren’t.”

Keep in mind that Patrick and Obama have a lot in common. They are both creations of puppet master David Axelrod. Axelrod created similar campaign mantras for both: “Yes We Can” for Obama and “Together We Can” for Patrick.

Oh, one other thing they have in common.

Lousy approval ratings.

Robert Gibbs lies. And lies. And lies. And lies. And lies. And lies. (We’ve lost count. Was that six?)

Robert Gibbs on Tuesday ventured into enemy territory, otherwise known as Fox News. And Gretchen Carlson reminded him why the number one news network is also public enemy number one in the view of the Obama administration.

Gibbs just flat out lied and Carlson refused to let him get away with it. In fact, he lied to the point that he made himself look stupid. (Correcton: even more stupid.)

Check out the angry look on Carlson’s face. The glare. The tense jaw.

We don’t think she likes the man.

Ed Schultz jealous of Glenn Beck. Very, very jealous. Oh, and did we mention delusional?

Poor Ed Schultz is consumed by jealousy. He can’t stand it that he’s not as popular as Glenn Beck, that Beck’s radio show has a much larger audience than his.

Poor Ed Schultz is consumed by jealousy. He can’t stand it that he’s not as popular as Glenn Beck, that Beck’s radio show has a much larger audience than his, that Beck’s TV show audience dwarfs his, and now, that Beck drew 300,000 to the National Mall and he can’t draw flies.

You know it just eats at Ed’s ample gut when he lies awake at night wondering how long it will be until he gets canned by MSNBC and is left with nothing but his sad little radio show.

Schultz: Hold it right there. Before we get to her answer, I could get every union head in this country, I could organize every progressive group in this country, the main bloggers. This could be The Ed March. Folks, 300,000 people on the heels of six months’ promotion, that ain’t no big shakes!

This is no sign that there’s going to be any big turn of events when it comes to the ballot box and that there’ll be no Democrats in the Congress. This is not a tea leaf about, gosh, they’re comin’ in November.

Six months’ promotion, NBC News says 300,000 people. I bet I could do that! I bet I could do that with this radio show and my TV show and six months’ production, six months’ promotion, if I had the budget I could equal that march. I know I could! I know I could….

I guarantee you, I could do more than 300,000! It ain’t a big deal!

Translation: “I’m important. Really, I’m important. Big Ed is just as important as that lesbian chick and that pompous ass. I don’t understand why no one watches my show. And that includes the executives at MSNBC.”

If we were Ed – and we thank god we’re not – we’d be a lot more concerned with getting a bigger radio and TV audience. Because when you’re unemployed, Ed, none of those union guys are going to return your calls.

Hell, they probably return them now.

“It’s Ed Schultz on line 3, Mr. Trumka.”

“Oh, my god. Not him again. Tell him I’m in a very important meeting.”

Arizona sheriff says, “I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin”

Dever is sheriff of Cochise County, which lies along the Mexican border. He told CNSNews.com that he’s not happy that the U.S. State Department recently reported Arizona to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Not happy at all.

We’d say Arizona Sheriff Larry Dever is giving the U.N. more respect than it deserves, but far be it from us to let our personal opinions color our 100% impartial presentation of the news.

“Well, it’s just amazing to me,” Dever said. “Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house here and reaches out and tries to bite me every now and then.”

President Bush blew off the U.N. Human Rights Council as a joke because its members included consistent human rights violators like China, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, Tunisia and Egypt.

But the Obama administration, in its infinite wisdom, couldn’t wait to join up, claiming that U.S. efforts could improve the organization.

Instead, we’re now ignoring those nations human rights violations and making up human rights violations our own states are supposedly committing.

Of course, they’re vermin. But as the scorpion said to the turtle in the punch line of that old joke, “You knew what I was when you found me.”

Swing state: Ohio prefers Bush over Obama 50-42

You know things are bad – very bad – for the Democrats when a lefty outfit like Public Policy Polling announces that Ohioans prefer President Bush over President Obama.

george bush miss me yet — In Ohio, the answer is apparently "Yes"

You know things are bad – very bad – for the Democrats when a lefty outfit like Public Policy Polling announces that Ohioans prefer President Bush over President Obama.

We’ll start rolling out our Ohio poll results tomorrow but there’s one finding on the poll that pretty much sums it up: by a 50-42 margin voters there say they’d rather have George W. Bush in the White House right now than Barack Obama.

Independents hold that view by a 44-37 margin and there are more Democrats who would take Bush back (11%) than there are Republicans who think Obama’s preferable (3%.)

A couple months ago I thought the Pennsylvanias and Missouris and Ohios of the world were the biggest battlegrounds for 2010 but when you see numbers like this it makes you think it’s probably actually the Californias and the Wisconsins and the Washingtons.

There’s not much doubt things are getting worse for Democrats…and they were already pretty bad. Somehow the party base needs to get reinvigorated over the next two months or there’s going to be a very, very steep price to pay.

It’s too soon to declare victory. But it’s not too soon to start checking prices on party supplies if you were thinking of throwing a party in, say, very early November.

Cold empties Bolivian rivers of fish, empties news reports of common sense

People in tropical Bolivia are freezing their culos off. The frigid temps have killed an estimated 6 million fish, alligators, turtles and river dolphins. They’ve also killed any semblance of balanced reporting.

bolivia frozen fish — Global warming strikes again: They're eating fish-sicles in Bolivia this winter

Pardon us for stating the obvious, but it’s winter in South America. A damn cold winter.

People in tropical Bolivia are freezing their culos off. The frigid temps have killed an estimated 6 million fish, alligators, turtles and river dolphins.

They’ve also killed any semblance of balanced reporting.

Nature.com has details of the devastating deaths:

Scientists who have visited the affected rivers say the event is the biggest ecological disaster Bolivia has known, and, as an example of a sudden climatic change wreaking havoc on wildlife, it is unprecedented in recorded history.

Got that? It’s the biggest ecological disaster in the history of Bolivia. It’s unprecedented. Never happened before in history.

With such extreme climatic events potentially becoming more common due to climate change, scientists are hurrying to coordinate research into the impact, and how quickly the ecosystem is likely to recover.

Aha! Climate change is the culprit. So to review, the coldest temperatures in Bolivian history are caused by global warming. We should have known.

The blame lies, at least indirectly, with a mass of Antarctic air that settled over the Southern Cone of South America for most of July. The prolonged cold snap has also been linked to the deaths of at least 550 penguins along the coasts of Brazil and thousands of cattle in Paraguay and Brazil, as well as hundreds of people in the region.

Water temperatures in Bolivian rivers that normally register about 15 ˚C during the day fell to as low as 4 ˚C.

Hugo Mamani, head of forecasting at Senamhi, Bolivia’s national weather centre, confirms that the air temperature in the city of Santa Cruz fell to 4 ˚C this July, a low beaten only by a record of 2.5 ˚C in 1955.

First they boggle our minds by saying that the unprecedented cold was caused by global warming. Then, as if that weren’t confusing enough, they tell us that it’s not really unprecedented because it was even colder back in 1955.

All future “climate change” reports should be accompanied by a disclaimer that says, “Reporters may have difficulty keeping a straight face while telling these outlandish stories, but it generally gets easier with practice.”

We apologize for all the times we’ve made fun of Ed Schultz. After hearing this tape, we now realize that he’s mentally ill. Sick. Nuttier than the proverbial fruitcake. Completely unable to control the violent bile that he spews. And it’s been unkind of us to make fun of him.

Schultz: And you have no idea, in my bones, in my very soul! In my heart! I want to kick Fox’s ass! I want to drive them into the ground! I want to spike the ball! I want to kick ‘em in the teeth on the way back to the huddle! And then I want to turn around and lift my leg on ‘em! Because that’s all they’re worth! They lie. They cheat. They steal.

Putting Schultz on the air is similar to the way they put the insane on public display in Victorian England. Except that MSNBC’s audience is so small that it really isn’t all that public.

Former Air America pundit and current lunatic offers $100,000 for Glen Beck sex tape

Beau Friedlander had a silly little blog at the Huffington Post in which he promised a $100,000.00 bounty for a Glen Beck sex tape.

glenn beck leierhosen — How much will Beau Friedlander pay for a photo of Glenn Beck in lederhosen?

We really like Glenn Beck, but not to the point that we’d pay $100,000 to see the guy naked.

But apparently Beau Friedlander, who we reported on months ago, has a thing for Beck that has endured unchecked since at least September of last year.

According to an article at Salon.com, “Beau Friedlander had a silly little blog at the Huffington Post in which he promised a $100,000.00 bounty for a Glen Beck sex tape. The post was actually a barely coherent, largely inaccurate history of neoconservatism, plus complaining about Glenn Beck, that ended with a paragraph offering “a $100,000 payday to the person who will come forward with a sex tape or phone records or anything else that succeeds in removing Glenn Beck from the public eye forever.” (Friedlander does not actually have this money, which made the whole thing even sillier.)”

Aha! So it’s not some sick desire to see the Beck au natural that inspires Friedlander, it’s a desire to see Beck driven out of the public eye, much as Air America and Friedlander have been?

Adding insult to injury, Salon.com says, “Today, that post is gone! Instead, there is an editor’s note. ‘This piece was published directly to the Huffington Post by its author. It didn’t meet our editorial standards and has been removed from the site.’”

Not up to the editorial standards of the Huffington Post? Is there really such a thing?

Now don’t be confused as to the purpose of the Salon.com story. It was posted not to defend Glenn Beck, but in an attempt to embarrass the Huffington Post, one of its biggest competitors in liberal land. The author actually chastises Friedlander for making the offer, stating that Beck “not only has no shame, but any embarrassing stories about him just fuel the redemption narrative, you moron.”

Now that sounds a lot more like salon.com, doesn’t it?

Sharpton rally mostly black. Why doesn’t the media hint that it was racist?

The clear implication of the liberal media was that most of the people who attended Beck’s rally were white, therefore the event must have been racist. What about Al Sharpton’s rally?

The clear implication of the liberal media was that most of the people who attended Beck’s rally were white, therefore the event must have been racist.

Here are just a few of the many examples:

“Beck says he and his overwhelmingly white followers ‘are the inheritors and protectors of the civil- rights movement.’” — Ben Adler, Newsweek

“Conservative commentator Glenn Beck and tea party champion Sarah Palin appealed Saturday to a vast, predominantly white crowd on the National Mall to help restore traditional American values and honor Martin Luther King’s message.” — Associated Press

“Many in the predominantly white crowd bent over backward to insist that they are not racists and to note that the crowd was courteous, despite heat and density.” — James Hohmann, Politico

Yet, the liberal media scrupulously avoided terming Sharpton’s rally racist, despite the fact that most of those in attendance were black.

For example, here are photos of Sharpton’s rally from the Washington Post. Nary a white face to be found. Hmmmmmm.

sharpton march

sharpton rally

And here’s coverage from PBS. Not a lot of white faces shown in that march, yet two of the three people interviewed by PBS in this clip were white. Seems raaacist to us.

And then there’s this lunatic making this outrageous comment:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Yeah, right. That’ll never happen. The race mongers and liberal media won’t let it.

Obama reports Arizona to the UN Human Rights Council, Arizona governor responds

The Obama administration submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council last week and among the many American sins for which it apologized was Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law.

china human rights — Chinese official having a spirited civil rights debate with Chinese citizen

The temptation to openly laugh at the United States must be getting stronger and stronger.

The Obama administration submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council last week and among the many American sins for which it apologized was Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law.

Keep in mind that the beacons of brotherhood who sit on the UN Human Rights Council include Angola, Egypt, South Africa, Bangladesh, China, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and believe it or not, Cuba.

Let’s just say that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is less than pleased. She wrote an angry letter to the President condemning the report, demanding its withdrawl and calling it “downright offensive”.

The Associated Press has the details:

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state’s controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations’ human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is “downright offensive” that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,” Brewer wrote.

Of course, the members of the Human Rights Commission listed above are confused by the concept of building a wall to keep people out. Their human rights records are all they need to do the job.

Is Rick Sanchez (a) stupid, (b) a racist, (c) a stupid racist, or (d) none of the above?

Mark this day in history. If we’re not mistaken, this is the first time any conservative website has ever defended Rick Sanchez. Of course, we’re forced to defend him by calling him stupid, but so be it.

Jessica Yellin guested on Rick’s CNN show Monday to discuss the “Is Obama a Muslim” issue.

NewsBusters.org describes the story:

Jessica Yellin explained that “this is the first time he’s talked about it since the polls showing how many Americans believe him to be Muslim came out” and that “you get the sense that he’s been sort of through this. He wants to set the record straight, but he really does seem to accept that he’s not going to convince everyone, and he’s not going to spend a lot of time and energy on something that’s not going to change.”

Sanchez replied to Yellin full of frustration: “I’m just sitting here just shaking my head. He is the cotton-picking president of the United States!” He continued with another slighter gaffe: “If the president of the United States doesn’t have enough of a bully pulpit to convince people of a lie – that a lie is a lie, I should say, then – you know, where are we? What kind of planet are we living on? What the hell is going on here?”

Moments later, after taking a commercial break, Sanchez came back with an apology, crediting his Twitter followers for spotting his error:

SANCHEZ: This is great. This is what works about having a conversation with my viewers throughout this newscast, because you know that I’m here on Twitter and I read what you write during the commercial breaks. And many of you are pointing out a fault that I just- a faux pas that I just made, and I want to apologize for it, because I obviously didn’t mean any disrespect or anything when I said that.”

Obviously, Rick Sanchez isn’t racist. He merely used a figure of speech – a perfectly acceptable figure of speech – but because of liberal political correctness gone wild, one for which he felt obligated to apologize.

Besides, Rick’s a liberal so no one ever would have seriously suggested that he’s racist. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said about his stupidity.

Secretary of Education skirts law, “invites” employees to attend Al Sharpton’s rally

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan skirted the law by urging 4,000 of his Washington, DC-area employees to attend the Al Sharpton anti-Glenn Beck rally.

arne duncan sharpton rally — Shouldn't the Secretary of Education be smarter than this?

We wouldn’t want to imply that Al Sharpton’s counter-Glenn Beck rally was a flop, but it only drew 2,000-3,000 people. This despite the fact that Secretary of Education Arne Duncan skirted the law by urging 4,000 of his Washington, DC-area employees to attend.

The Washington Examiner blows the whistle on Duncan’s skirting of the law:

President Obama’s top education official urged government employees to attend a rally that the Rev. Al Sharpton organized to counter a larger conservative event on the Mall.

“ED staff are invited to join Secretary Arne Duncan, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and other leaders on Saturday, Aug. 28, for the ‘Reclaim the Dream’ rally and march,” began an internal e-mail sent to more than 4,000 employees of the Department of Education on Wednesday.

Sharpton created the event after Glenn Beck announced a massive Tea Party “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, where King spoke in 1963.

The Washington Examiner learned of the e-mail from a Department of Education employee who felt uncomfortable with Duncan’s request.

Although the e-mail does not violate the Hatch Act, which forbids federal employees from participating in political campaigns, Education Department workers should feel uneasy, said David Boaz, executive vice president of the libertarian Cato Institute.

So let’s picture this: You work for a very powerful man. He sends you a note “suggesting” that you attend a rally. You think about it and decide to blow off that very powerful boss.

One of the most powerful men in Washington, DC “suggested” that 4,000 of his employees attend Al Sharpton’s rally, yet generous estimates say the event drew only 2,000-3,000 people.

Despite being escorted by several police officers, the man was able to slip a knife out of his clothing and sever his penis.

Ed Schultz tells dozens at Sharpton rally that he supported civil rights when he was a conservative

Sharpton only gave Schultz three minutes, which is all that’s left of his 15 minutes of fame after the liberals are done taxing it.

Four observations about Ed Schultz’ speech at Al Sharpton’s anti-Beck rally on Saturday:

Sharpton only gave Schultz three minutes, which is all that’s left of his 15 minutes of fame after the liberals are done taxing it.

The media is estimating 2000-3000 attended Sharpton’s counter rally, but swear to god, doesn’t it sound more like 50-100?

The “Yes We Can” chant is beginning to sound a bit pathetic.

Schultz says he’s glad he made the decision as a young man to “get on the bus with the brothers.” Since he was a conservative Republican until the 1990s and didn’t officially become a Democrat until 2000, that would mean he was “on the bus with the brothers” when he was a conservative.

Sorry about the sideways video, but that’s the way it was shot with someone’s camera phone.

A couple weeks back members of the Congressional Black Caucus cried racism when two of its members – Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters – were charged with corruption. Well, longtime Texas Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson may be late to the party, but she has officially arrived.

The Dallas Morning News reports the latest case of blatant raaaacism:

Longtime Dallas congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson has awarded thousands of dollars in college scholarships to four relatives and a top aide’s two children since 2005, using foundation funds set aside for black lawmakers’ causes. 

The recipients were ineligible under anti-nepotism rules of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, which provided the money. And all of the awards violated a foundation requirement that scholarship winners live or study in a caucus member’s district.

…Scholarships have gone to two of the congresswoman’s grandsons, Kirk and David Johnson; to two of her great-nephews, Gregory and Preston Moore; and to [staff member Rod] Givens’ son and daughter. Givens did not respond to requests for comment, and none of the scholarship recipients could be reached.

We demand that these charges be withdrawn. We’re certain that little Kirk and David, little Gregory and Preston, and all the rest were simply the most deserving students Johnson could find.

Any other conclusion is raaaacism!

While Gibbs comes off as combative and hot, Burton is low-key and self-deprecating. He always seems ready to smile.

Consider this an official sign that the honeymoon is over. Because that’s 180 degrees away from how the media described Robert Gibbs 19 months ago.

Here’s a report from Politico.com:

Robert Gibbs gets a lot of laughs in his briefings

The United States is facing its biggest financial crisis in ages. North Korea is blowing up nukes. Dick Cheney warns us of the “dangers that have not gone away.” And there are still wars raging in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But over in the White House press briefing room, it’s a veritable laugh riot.

Whenever there’s laughter in the James S. Brady Briefing Room — by either the briefer or the briefed — the official White House stenographer indicates as much by inserting “(Laughter.)” into the transcript.

And in Robert Gibbs’ first four months as President Barack Obama’s press secretary, there have been more than 600 instances of “(Laughter.)” during his regular press briefings — an average of more than 10 laughs per day.

It’s a gaudy statistic — and one that puts his predecessors to shame.

Got that? The seriously serious Dana Perino and Tony Snow were shamed by Robert Gibbs, the Funniest Damn Press Secretary in History. At least he was until Bill Burton came along. Now that guy, he’s funny.
