Robert Gibbs really, really, really doesn’t want to talk about Sestakgate™

Please note that Sestakgate™ is a registered trademark of IHateTheMedia.com and rest assured that we will spare no expense to protect our intellectual property rights. Sestekgate™ is what you call a really catchy moniker and we expect that all those damn copycat blogs will be ripping us off before you finish reading this story. Retribution shall be ours, plagiarists!

But moving along to the story.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked why it took the White House three months to answer questions on the Sestakgate™ if the incident was as insignificant as he had told reporters it was?

Robert Gibbs responded with the classic “I’ll have to ask counsel for a better answer on that.”

You know there’s a lot more to the story when a member of the President’s staff invokes the word “counsel”. Well, that and because Gibbsy breaks out in a cold sweat every time a reporter veers anywhere near the story.

Sestakgate™. You heard it here first.

  • Did you really trademark it? That is awesome!

    In any case I have learnt not to depend on Gibbs for information ever. Running to a lawyer to know how to say something so it won't bite you in the rear later is a coward move and also quite intriguing. It does mean that something under handed happened.

  • Douchebaggate ™ HA! This is now what I will refer to everything the soetoro regime does that is questionable. .....which is literally everything they do. So, from now on, if I say Douchebaggate ™, I am referring to barry, his higher ups, his lower downs, and everything in between, to include admirals, generals, czars, non-czars, gibbs, etc. I will soon have a new one for pelosi, reid and the rest of congress, and will let you know when I do!

  • Sestakgate.....TM? Sounds you're betting the slimebags won't weasel out of this one.

  • I have submitted for a trademark too-it is "douchebaggate". I just need to learn how to make the little "tm" above the last letter-how does one do that boys?

    • It's one of the special ALT Code characters. With NUMLOCK engaged depress and hold the ALT key and enter 0153 for ™ . There are hundreds of these little symbols. Here is a link that covers most of em.

      Douchebaggate looks so, I don't know, maybe French. Yeah, that's it.

      Enjoy!

    • As a follow-on, in Word you just have to type the word and immediately after it put (TM) with no space.

      Example: douchebaggate(TM).

    • First time in my life I've ever been consulted on technical issues. On a Mac, it's option-2.
