Gibbs Defends DNC Donor Perks

October 28, 2009 -- In a White House press briefing, Sec. Gibbs was questioned on a recent article in the Washington Times saying top DNC donors had been rewarded with trips to the White House and access to senior White House officials, with reporters asking whether they'd be told who these donors were. Gibbs responded by saying they will soon be the first administration to provide a list of all White House visitors. He did disclose one of the people to have used the White House bowling alley, though - Ethan Gibbs, his five-year-old son who bowled a couple games with the bumpers down.

"What this president has done is institute the very toughest ethics and transparency rules of any administration in history," he says while managing a straight face.

Remember Baghdad Bob (the Iraq information minister during the Gulf war) - how funny he was? Now we've got our own Baghdad Gibbs and it's not so funny.
