Cleaning Up After Biden, Gibbs Makes Himself A Laughingstock
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Surely one of the worst jobs in Washington is that of cleaning up after the Human Gaffe Machine, AKA Joe Biden . . .

On shovel duty today at the White House, press secretary Robert Gibbs made a laughingstock of himself as he asserted what Biden “meant to say” regarding swine flu. The press corps didn’t merely titter at Gibbs’ travails. They outright laughed in his face at the press sec’s tortured attempt at vice-presidential revisionism.

Even “Big Dumb” Biden has found a niche in his useful idiot - comic relief role. What a maroon.

Sorry about that: server a bit jammed with FReepers eager to view the video. It will probably ease off in a few minutes.

It’ll be worth the wait.

I thought it might be my sometimes slow DSL.

Sorry about that: looks like a lot of people are enjoying watching Gibbs’ jujitsu.

I wonder who will be the first to go: Gibbs or Biden.

I heard one of my business partners laughing and laughing.
So, I stuck my head in his office as he was watching this debacle.
He said Tapper’s obviously annoyed response was a classic and a great put down of Gibb’s tortured and insulting explanation.
“ That answer isn’t even remotely related to the question I asked...”

I’ll try later—your transcript hints that it’s worth the wait. By the way, “human gaffe machine” is perfect, LOL!

STAND UP JOE! GOD LUV YA!

I’m starting to seriously worry for Joe Biden’s safety...especially if he continues to embarrass Barry this way...

And yet they will write with glowing terms about Biden and Odumbo and their entire idiotic regime.

Gibbs. Biden is married to Obama. I never thought I would see an press secretary worse than Scott McClellan. The dims usually have good flacks.

Gibbs is the kind of assclown that assclown’s use to deflect cream pies thrown at their faces. I sure hope this guy isn’t fired...he’s a sure fire gaffe/laugh machine that helps me at least have a giggle or two when 0bama is sticking it to us.
