Secretary Gibbs is rumored to be in contention for the position of CEO at SmugStammeringBuffoonsRus.

An anonymous spokesman for the company claims it’s a perfect fit.

“He’s had a six-year stretch now where basically he’s been going 24/7 with relatively modest pay".

According to a report submitted to Congress, top-level staff members of the Obama White House earn the same amount as their predecessors in the Bush administration. The report, which a 1994 law requires be submitted annually to Senate and House oversight committees, shows that the White House's personal list shows 487 employees. Among these staffers is Robert Gibbs, who earns the salary cap of $172,200.

I agree. Alan Grayson is the man for the job.

This White House staff has 487 employees. How many have been employed by other presidents?

Well, today is the twelfth day of Christmas!

Any speculation as to his replacement?

Why the Denny’s shift manager smack-down? It’s honest and necessary work.

Thank goodness! The man had the look of a weasel from Day 1 and I hated to hear his lies on a daily basis.

He's not gone, just out of sight. He along with other 'departees' will be working on Obama's reelection.
