AP: Interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America," press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about the assertions Rep. Eric Massa made Sunday in a radio address in his home district in western New York.

Gibbs said, "I think this whole story is ridiculous. I think the latest excuse is silly and ridiculous." He accused Massa of continually changing the reasons for leaving Congress. Massa, a Democrat whose resignation took effect Monday, is facing a harassment complaint from a male staffer.

America believes the Congressman

Hmm, so Obama approves of Rahm's way of expressing himself.

I do believe the whole whiz bang gang are more than a little "gay".

[mikelets456]

These morons are still following the “book of Marx” to a “T” which does not account for the information age. Absolutely stupid....

Gibbs: "I think this whole story is ridiculous. I think the latest excuse is silly and ridiculous (was that ok Mr. Emanuel?)."

Rahm: "Yeah it was fine, now bend over Gibbie, and give up that booty like a good boy."

Gibbs: "ohhh nooo, not again?"

Rahm: "Shut up Gibbie, you love it"

Everything is just SILLY to Gibbs. I’m sick and tired of this guy using that sticking word!

[bossmechanic]

Just part of the high intellectual discussion common in the white house these days.

[AmishDude]

I never tire of mentioning that Massa was once on Wesley Clark’s staff.

You know, these Democrats who are former military officers (Clark, Webb, Massa) are real pieces of work. The bard said that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I wonder what the fury of Massa scorned will be.

The wheels are really coming off the bus now. More, faster, please.

He talks to people like they are all stupid kids. It really grates on me. Who the hell does this pompous ass think he is?

[Mercat]

Gibbs really likes the word “silly.”

[smokingfrog]

Gibbs was on Good Morning Amerika? Gee, too bad I missed it. /s

[wilco200]

Isn’t Massa going on Beck or something?

Now, that he’s resigning, comments like those from Gibbs should allow him to let loose. Hopefully, even though he won’t be voting that he can derail this Obamacare disaster through the media

[altura]

they had to get rid of him cuz Obama doesn’t want to call anyone ‘massa.’

[SoFloFreeper]

“silly”, “ridiculous”...I don’t hear “untrue”.

"Gibboles doing his part "
And of course ABC doing their part as well.

[Don Corleone]

Gibbs said, "I think this whole story is ridiculous. I think the latest excuse is silly and ridiculous."

More legalese..note the "I think" cop out. Says nothing to the facts..just what he thinks about them. Considering his IQ ....well?

[Marty62]

Well look at it this way.
Everyone is knashing their teeth over MASSA and all the while Rangel, Stark etc etc sit around laughing that the attention is off of them.

Keep the target where it belongs.
Massa was a 1st term newbee. Pelosi threw ou the no earmarks yesterday. Trying to claim they are changing. BUT will Demints proposed LAW be passed.........NOOOOOOO.
