ABC's Tapper Makes White House Look Stupid Again
ABC News/Yidwithlid ^ | 3/16/09 | Yidwithlid

ABC's Jake Tapper is one of the few White House Press reporters who have not been swigging down the Presidential cool aid. He asks the questions that we want to know. Take the case of the AIG executive bonuses. Yesterday all hell broke loose when the news began to filter out a about the major green given out to AIG executives because of contractual obligations. Since the federal treasury has been forking over our tax dollars to AIG every few weeks since the first bailout, the questions arises, why didn't anyone know about the contractual bonuses before last week? Jake asked that simple question and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, seemed as if he was all tied up in his underwear as he tried to answer (which he never does).

I love Jake Tapper - there, I said it. Sure, he’s a liberal. But, at least he does his job. Which is more than can be said for the other 300 White House sycophants errr reporters.

Lobama was too busy to check his campaign donations and notice AIG had not sent him his percentage pay to play.

He does seem to be an equal opportunity PITA regardless of who’s in the White House, doesn’t he?

Which is exactly what the press is supposed to be. Too bad they are so few and far between.

Did Gibbs have the same frick’n blue striped tie and black suit on as his underwear was knotting? I bet he smells wearing that everyday.

Unfortunately, many of us are already suffering from “Obama Fatigue”.

GIBBS: The administration is taking the steps today to go back and see what can be done…to claw those bonuses back.

Which is exactly what Odumbnuts will be doing to the rest of us.

Every decision they make that is worth more than $3.50 is above the pay grade of everybody in this doofus administration.

They though W was stupid. These clowns are just plain brain dead.
