FR Poll: Who's the bigger/better liar? Robert Gibbs, Jay Carney, or Bagdad Bob
one man's opinion...

Posted on 05/01/2014 6:18:49 PM PDT by ken5050

On Special Report tonight, discussing today's WH presser, Charles Krauthammer opined that Jay Carney was way underpaid. Carney did seem a little off his game today, possibly thrown by the unexpectedly hostile questions from several reporters. But it got me thinking...if your life absolutely 100% depended on having someone lie to save your life, who would you choose.....?

It's a tough choice. Bagdad Bob had one drawback..English isn't his natural language, and he obviously had the greatest motivation to lie..his neck, but I think Gibbs was the smoothest, the most, well, "believable."

Carney has a "tell"..and it's not just when his lips are moving...he resorts to a "really?" when he's hoping that his whoppers are challenged.

For those of you who might have forgotten "Bagdad Bob's pressers, here's a montage of his greatest hits..

The Carney Tries awfullly hard,..but ends up in the Failure Category.

Bagdad Bobby.....too outlandish in his presentation...

The Leaves...Gibbs.

Gibbs was smooth. I don’t think he cared about the truth so it came natural. He could lie like Eddie Haskell, even though, like Eddie, you could tell. Carny still has some of that high school earnestness. He lies about as well as Beaver Cleaver.

Baghdad Bob was there for entertainment purposes only.

I vote for my all-time favorite “Baghdad Bob”. He could stand at the microphone with enemy soldiers sneaking up behind him and just lie like a pro. Of course, “Carney” is wearing thin and getting sort of boring, but he’s good.

my very favorite WH Press Secretary, the gentleman who brought integrity to the position, will forever be the late Tony Snow... what a terrific guy... taken away too early... brings tears to my eyes to think about him...

Go with Gibbs.
Carney is an amateur compared to Gibbs.
And, Baghdad Bob was just a court jester.

Absolutely agree..he is missed..and don't forget that Tony was a Freeper..

However, and I mean no offense to you, it's almost a crime to mention his name on the same page as these other three clowns..

True, but Gibbs had it easy when Caliph Baraq was riding the public wave of admiration for his reign.

Now after 5 yrs the golden boy has tarnished a bit and Jae Carnie has it a bit tougher, LOL.

I don't know if I was deliberate, or just incompetent (troll?) but that list is monumentally incomplete.

My choice? No contest : The Liar -in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama
Hands down!
