Watch as Robert Gibbs sets a new Obama Administration record (and that’s saying something) for the most “uh”s and “um”s in a single sentence as he struggles to find the right spin to explain why Treasury Secretary knew all about the AIG bonuses a week before telling us this week that he was just as surprised as the rest of us (full story with video at Hot Air)….

Nah. He’ll just go back to calling on pre selected journalists with pre selected questions.

Gibbs is a train wreck, but I hope he stays for entertainment purposes.

If he was the best of the lot, I shudder to think of what the audition process looked like.

I miss them on TV. All that’s on now is Tom & Jerry. That gets boring after a week or two.

Yea, those cartoons were great, the truth is they have been BANNED due to violence and not PC. I have alot of them, and they are labeled as banned. It is a sad world.

It is good that Tony Snow is not here to see what a buffoon that Gibbs is. Tony anticipated just about every question that the White House reporters threw at him. I miss Tony!
