ABC’s Jake Tapper reveals press corps’ secret nickname for press secretary Robert Gibbs

Behold a few rare moments of candor from ABC’s Jake Tapper and the Examiner’s Julie Mason. They explain that Robert Gibbs is known as “The Gibnotist” for his ability to bore the hell out of people who are paid to listen to him speak.

“People have actually fallen asleep in his briefings,” Tapper says.

This may explain the increasingly contentious relationship between Gibbs and the press: They’re not fighting with him. They’re fighting to stay awake.

  • I'm running for the US Congress in the 12th district of Illinois against a 25 year incumbent special interest TOOL who took millions in PAC "Contributions" in election cycles when he ran UNOPPOSED. I don't think he's working for the taxpayers of the 12th district, do you? I want to be the people's Congresswoman and REPRESENT the citizens of the 12th District. Lower taxes, less government, no Obamacare and KICK OUT ILLEGAL ALIENS! It's time to take back America for Americans. We have had ENOUGH!!

    • Hey Teri, if the whacked-out radical left wing-nuts get wind you posted on this ultra-consertive liberal-hating, obama-dissing website they will try to crucify you as only ultra-liberal, liberty hatin' socialist lovin' and intolorant adherents to corrupt Illinois politics can. Even though the carcasses in the political sewer of Illinois have an ungodly stench, they ain't dead. Be careful.

      • I don't care. This is AMERICA and I will post wherever and whenever I want!! They can't do anything to me except flap their gums and I am literally campaigning door to door to a very warm reception. It will only make them look like the scum that they are. I am not afraid of anything they say or do--I am Rusel and Lani's daughter and they raised me right and taught me to NEVER back down--and I don't! You are sweet to be concerned for me and I appreciate it! Please visit my website: http://www.voteforteri2010.com and see what I'm about! I'd also appreciate your passing it on to your friends and family. I am in a tough campaign against a corrupt bought-and-paid-for PAC tool and if you could find it in your heart to make a campaign donation, I would very much appreciate it. Every bit helps--$5--$10--anything!! It all adds up and I DO NOT TAKE PAC CONTRIBUTIONS!! There's a Paypal button at the bottom of the home page to make it easy and there's no preset amount!! Thank you for your support!!

        • Teri, I truly admire your spunk. Would you consider moving to the 17th District and run there? ;-)

          It would be great if reasonable people could reverse the corrupt Chicago-style politics that seems to pervade nearly every layer of government in this pathetically embarrassing state. I realize the greatest opportunity to do so would be to give Chicago to Indiana and then clean up Springfield. Having said that, the same style of politics is at work in Washington and certainly needs more attention since we are just one state. Illinois committing suicide by debt is one thing but the goons in Washington are determined to squeeze the life out of the whole Union. We need good people to try to stop the madness that has pervaded Washington.

          I know what you are up against. We had Lane Evans and now we have Phil Hare. I wish you the best of success and I will do what I can to help you achieve that success.

  • After the few briefings I watched, my perception, was that I couldn't believe that the press let him get away with such illogical BS statements. I just came away with the depressing opinion that they (the press) were just so unbelievable bias to the point of somehow they must be breaking some law if not a moral code.
