A quick question: Would anyone still consider it news if we reported that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is a bit of a jerk?
In this clip, he belittles World Net Daily correspondent Les Kinsolving because the reporter had the nerve to criticize President Obama’s remarkable lack of press conferences.
The highlight? When the other reporters cheer as Kinsolving offered Gibbs some constructive suggestions on the proper way to handle briefings and press conferences.

When the new world order takes over by force Gibbs will be the poster boy for what is wrong with today's govt
Gibbs is an ass-clown.
Absolutely amazing. This is like school yard bullying. Ask a question they don't like, and suddenly YOU are the problem! Robert Gibbs is such and arrongant little twit. Most press secretaries don't last the whole term. Maybe he will be gone soon, and we will never have to deal with him again. Such is the "transparent" presidency we were promised.
I don't think he will be gone, because Obama is in love with himself, and Gibbs reflects perfectly The Great One himself--they are two of a kind. Therefore, Obama see Gibbs as perfect, just like himself.
Perhaps Barack Obama doesn't do many personal press conferences because they can't find someone to research fast enough.
gibbs seem confused thats its not about the number of reporters or number of question but to allow any journalists to ask whatever questions they want. Not to select the few journalists they like that gives them softball questions
He's not confused. He's a slippery, arrogant, liar like his boss.
Gibbs seemed very confused about the difference between the number of journalist allowed to attend and the number of questions allowed to be asked.
Tell me, do any of you have trouble differentiating between a sequence of vocalized words framed as an interrogative and a human being? I only witnessed such an event once before when I saw what appeared to be a schizophrenic being questioned by a cop. The schizophrenic was convinced that he was being assailed by a large group of cops even though there was only one cop.
My diagnosis: Gibbs is schizophrenic.
The left wing of the White House press corps is getting what they deserve...they just don't know it....yet!!
He's a punk ass girlie man.
Great strategy: sidestep a logical question or point of view by picking just ONE part of the point, discuss on it, go back and forth in a lame attempt to ridicule or put down the person and their comments while completely ignoring THE POINT of the question or comment in the first place.
That way a lame and unsuccessful attempt to make himself look good while not answering the question is done. A lot of people do that. They either don't want to see or willfully ignore THE POINT because they don't want to be seen are stupid or to not answer to the point because it is against their belief system.
Typical of a lot of blog respondents, in my experience. They seem to forget they are supposed to answer questions, not steer the conversation. Aggressively stupid, trying to be the big fish. Makes it tough when they actually do gain a little bit of power, like this guy.
oddly-the Communist News Network has the Brown statement, on video, on their site today! Could we see the press rally around Fox? Doubt it-but it doesn't hurt to dream!
