I like that guy. No other press secretary would have done that. They would have either exploded or cried or just let it build up, then one day done one of the above. He made it funny. We'll be in good shape soon.
This is HILLARIOUS! Gibbs face at 0:50 priceless...the timing of the whole thing, just as Gibbs finishes bsing about why he took it, rrrrriiiiiinnnnngggg!
funny at 31 where u hear a voice saying "confiscation" like its some elementary school recess session!! these reporters r immature, would be nice to see them have more professionalism.
No, I agree with you that is was pretty rude for the reporters to do that. I don't disagree with Gibbs' anger, just his method. Anyway, I don't want to keep harping on it because its not a HUGE deal for me, I just thought it was somewhat inappropriate/childish. We obviously disagree.
I think it woul've been far more effective and professional to just kick the offending reporters out, which he could've done for sure.
"I think it woul've been far more effective and professional to just kick the offending reporters out"
Puh-leeze! This is the worst suggestion I've ever read. If he had done that, Fox News would've been all over it like a cheap suit. You claim it's not a huge deal, yet imply it was a seizure of private property by the Federal Government. You sounded like an azz, now you want to softsoap it as not a big deal.
What the heck does law enforcement have to do with a breach of etiquette? There's nothing profound about what Gibbs did. The reporter's phone kept ringing and Gibbs took it away. It was given back after the briefing. Big deal.
Oh! I finally found John Boehner's "alternative" stimulus plan. Yeah, it's in one of those Trapper Keepers we carried with us in school: More tax breaks for CEOs, increase spending for the military/industrial complex, and deregulation of the private sector. Gee, good job, guys. Keep up the great work.
What alternatives would you propose? Alternative criticism works; pointless criticism doesn't. If you slander the GOP for supposedly doing that, but don't listen when someone offers an alternative, then you have to look at yourself in the mirror and see who really is being the condescending one.
You're absolutely correct. One problem though... The GOP did not offer ANY alternative whatsoever. None, zilch, zippo! They ran off at the lip for weeks about some viable alternative and came up with one or two pages of the same chicken-spit rubbish they've espoused since Reagan, i.e., 'get the government out of the affairs of corporate American greed via capital gains tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent.' Working folks be damned. Thing is, the vast majority of people weren't buying it.
Immature indeed. But man does the media love it, go figure.
I didn't realize the Federal government had the authority to seize private property without just cause. A minor piece of property, but as press secretary, Gibbs should be aware of the meaning of his actions while on official duty.
Boy, you guys are sure some bitter bitches since your party lost... Oh, lemme guess: "I'm not a Republican I'm a libertarian!" Had you numbnuts actually watched the briefing, you would've heard reporter's cell phones ringing like crazy and distracting Gibbs. It has nothing to do with siezing private property, you Samuel Worzelbacher lame brains. Go find some new ideas and try to win an election.
Sorry, where did you see that my candidate "lost"? Are you referring to the issue at hand, or deflecting the argument? Clearly you are doing the latter.
You can either argue logically, or use childish attempts at insults like you are attempting to do here.
Your candidate did lose, Mr. Fake Plumber. I swear, guys like you can't even remain loyal to your own party when you clearly use it's rhetoric, i.e., "Feds are seizing private property under Obama!" No one cares about your scare tactics about Mao's Red Army taking over. Offer us some new ideas and maybe we'll vote for you guys next time. All I see are a bunch of sore loosers associating themselves with hillbillies from Alaskas and fat, radio talkshow drug addicts.
I'm not Joe the Plumber? Where are you getting your assumptions from? I'm not GOP. No matter how much you say it, its not true. I never said "Feds are seizing private property under Obama!" Point out where i said that. Please. I specifically said, as a minor aside, that Gibbs did it. Is Gibbs Obama? Where did I say that? I didn't. I'm sorry you don't have any logical arguments, only pointless insults and stereotypes. What are your "new ideas"? Please, educate this ignorant person.
"That's what you think. Their court jester has just started his reign."
Yeah, a court jester who's stimulus has actually allowed me to move out of a dump and find a better place to live, albeit still a renter. You guys have no new ideas. NONE. What happened to your alternative stimulus plan? Oh, yeah! John Boehner presented it in one of those high school notebook binders that we had in the 70s. You guys have been nothing short of an epic failure. But please, keep talking so we can laugh.
You didn't need to say anything about the Bush Administration because you are clearly using the same type of regurgitated rhetoric used by every other GOP hack. You can criticize all you like but when you equate Gibbs removing a cell phone with the Feds seizing private property, you sound like a fool. Your party is out of ideas; no one likes you guys. We don't like your fake plumbers, your drug addicted talk radio hosts, or your lack of ideas to fix the economy you effed up. Now get to work!
I don't understand. Who said I was GOP? Who said I supported Bush? Who said I didn't vote for Obama? You're assuming a lot just for the sake of repeating the same tired arguments. Sorry you like to assume only to make pointless arguments and ad hominem attacks. Again, as I said - do you have logical points or are you just making baseless attacks? I can do logical discussion; I can't argue with a child because it is pointless.
Um, try looking at what you wrote, wiseguy. Unless I have a detailed dossier of who you are, I have to go exactly by what you implied with your whittier-than-thou statement about Gibbs. It is essentially the same nonsense every garden variety neocon spouts off about Obama being Stalin and sending your children to FEMA camps (lol). If you are not to the Right, then you have done a great job of misrepreasenting yourself by repeating such Red Scare tripe.
