Wow – it must be incredible to have the power to change history with a few words. To make sure that every narrative suits your own personal purposes.

Someone needs to test Gibbs for some short and long term memory issues.

Tool.

Another possible failure of imagination from this administration.

Anybody remember when that white cop in Cambridge, with the assistance of a latino and a black cop IIRC, arrested the black professor acting like a nut-job outside his house? And Obama instantly condemned racial profiling, and blew a local crazy neighbor issue into a weeklong national affair that culminated in the ridiculous “beer summit?”

Can anyone explain to me how the same President who instantly knew the ins and outs of that case, and that the cop was clearly and un-equivocally in the wrong, now seems incapable of connecting the dots at Fort Hood and is instead urging none of us to rush to judgment? Seems like there are definitely gaps in his ability to imagine what the writing on the wall looks like in some cases.

Gibbs? When he talks, he doesn’t say anything. If you stumble onto a White House Press Corps session, he doesn’t answer questions, he deflects them. You don’t know any more after he speaks than you did before… to me, he’s just boring… ignorable.

At least Baghdad Bob had alliteration going for him…

Gibbs is an insufferable, obtuse ass. Period. And to add insult to injury, one obviously deficient in brain-power as well.

I continue to compare Gibbs to Baghdad Bob, although I don’t think he’s as smart…
