At his briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocked Sarah Palin by writing notes on his left hand.

[al baby]

Gibbs has TGIF on all his shoes f that guy

[Travis McGee]

That’s it. Open season on 100% teleprompter use.

Including in meetings of ten people, and in front of grade school kids.

[GoCards]

As much as they tell us she doesnt matter. Well I believe Mrs. Palin has gotten in their head, bigtime!!! Wow.

[HerrBlucher]

All this does is make people like Sarah even more. They identify with notes written on hands, or some other reminder, they don’t identify with teleprompters. Sarah is a genius.

[Jim Robinson]

GO Sarah!! You’ve got them on the run!!

[tobyhill]

And just because of these condescending idiots in the MSM and in this administration is exactly the reason the GOP should stay away from any “bipartisan” meetings.

[Avid Coug]

I wonder if his notes got in the way of the usual L and R that he keeps on his hands at all times.

[ArmstedFragg]

Truly Presidential!

[browniexyz]

I agree she’s a geniuss! I used to do the same thing in speech/debate in high school—it works! And I didn’t even pay attention to the story about her writing on her hand when it first came out, but since the libs have made such a big deal of it, I’ve now seen the video, etc....boy are they stoooopid!

[Lazamataz]

Sarah should go shopping with Teleprompters for grocery lists.

Hit 'em on their own faults.

[newbie 10-21-00]

The next thing I expect to hear is these kindergartners in the White House lighting off farts and running giggling into the bushes. DC is a national embarassment.

[keepitreal]

Nothing like an administration that has the dignity of a 5th grade class having a burping contest.

[brownsfan]

This is what happens when you put children in the White House. There’s not a classy one among them.

[AndyPH]

I agree with you. Actually I always write on the back of my hand. It is a sure way to remember . What a big deal the democrats made of that.... shows they are panicking.

[The Duke]

I guess the White House has no notion that such actions only reduce their own stature in the eyes of all? The phrase “president in name only” comes to mind.

[Jim Robinson]

The note he wrote on his palm was, “Not this shit again!” Then he slapped palm to forehead.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Do we even have to run anyone in 2012? Sarah could just make their heads explode 2-3 times a month until they have nobody left to nominate except Maxine Waters or Cynthia McKinney. Problem is, either of those two could win, LOL.

[Joe 6-pack]

Gibbs’ girlfriend got a tattoo?

[Apparatchik]

Gibbs is nothing more than a mealy-mouthed propagandist. Today’s unprofessional stunt is yet more proof.

[marron]

This is an important issue. Professionals like Obama don’t have to write stuff on their hands.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Keep doing what you’re doing, morons. Given the poll numbers and recent elections, it’s obviously working out great for ya.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Gibbs is the LAST person who should be trashing anyone. He makes Baghdad Bob look like a MENSA member. So now the White House is going after a private citizen. See GOP, this is proof you should cut the “Bi-partisan” crap. These Dems dont want to work with the GOP, they behave like children. Sarah is a GENIUS, you know she did this on purpose and the stupid ass media fell for it hook, line, and sinker

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Nothing like an administration that has the dignity of a 5th grade class having a burping contest.”

Ha! Quite so.

[The Shrew]

Truly Presidential!

You got that right. These people won't hesitate to use the power of government to mock, lie about and ultimately destroy private citizens. Read some of Lincoln's letters to individual citizens and compare them to Obama's minions communicating with the citizenry.

Regards,

TS

[stylecouncilor]

LOL!

[depressed in 06]

The difference is Sarah can read her notes, Gibbs not so much.

[cranked]

No, they just use teleprompters........in a 6th grade classroom. I am not sure what anyone else’s version of fail is, but using a teleprompter in a 6th grade classroom is far more of an EPIC FAILURE than someone writing notes on their hand. =.=

[WinMod70]

And you all thought the Clintons left the WH in shambles. This can’t be left to continue for 3 more years.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Gibbs’ girlfriend got a tattoo?”

Yes, it’s written across the cheeks of her butt and it says “BOB”

I just amused myself, sorry.

[bamagirl1944]

If this doesn’t show how immature and adolescent this bunch is, nothing will. They act like middle-schoolers, and I should know because I taught that age group for 31 years.

[depressed in 06]

Who wrote the notes on Gibbs’ hand?

[LRS]

Hussein probably has “Wipe”, “Don’t Wipe” written on his palms...

[tflabo]

[Mouton]

What an A hole.

[Red in Blue PA]

LOL!

[mlizzy]

Wow! And you lived to tell it! :):)

[shorty_harris]

That’s hilarious!!

[BillM]

A private individual who lives 3400 miles from Washington is important enough for the main Whitehouse people to publicly address her. You might have thought there were more important things that they would spend their time on in the current circumstances!!!

[musicman]

(Sarah should)Hit 'em on their own faults."

[Question Liberal Authority]

Well, he certainly showed Sarah how irrelevant she is.

[gura]

April 2009, Dems make fun of Gibbs for looking like he has notes on his hand:

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

We have no other choice than to think this response came directly from the top. So much for Bipartisianship. When White House Bob writes his book, I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.

[meandog]

Gibbs mocks Obama by wiping with his hand!

[CajunConservative]

He's just jellus because Sarah has bigger you knows than all the dems combined.

[MrB]

“Stealing a glance at his ‘lady love’”

[Lazamataz]

Isn't it SEXIST
to make fun of a WOMAN
by using the icon of a SHOPPING LIST?
?????????

[musicman]

"Gibbs’ girlfriend got a tattoo?"

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

It would be a good skit, mount them on the shopping cart, then show Obama shopping trying to remember what he was supposed to get, then Zero gets the green beans instead of corn.

Perfect

[MrB]

I bet 0bama would reflexively flinch if you put your left hand on him.
