Glad to see that she challenged the ugly pig anyway.

Contentious exchanges between White House press secretaries and members of the media have been fairly commonplace during the past few presidential administrations.
However, the one that took place Wednesday between White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and April Ryan of American Urban Radio, in which Gibbs essentially compared Ryan to a petulant child, is among the most heated (and entertaining) in recent memory.
The testy exchange was sparked by Ryan's insistent questioning of White House social secretary Desiree Rogers' role at the recent state dinner, which has been in the headlines because of the fallout from Tareq and Michaele Salahi's "party crashing."
Ryan claimed that there have been whispers around Washington insinuating that Rogers had overstepped the traditional role of her title at the event to become the "belle of the ball," thus "overshadowing the first lady." Frustrated by Ryan's tabloid-y line of questioning, Gibbs instructed her to "calm down" and to take a deep breath," adding "I do this with my son and that's what happens."

Hey Gibbs, ever have the bleep beat out of you for being a bleeping wise ass?
That’s pretty sad. Gibbs is such a pie hole. I hope he keeps it up... every step is a step closer to this entire administration going down in flames.
Clearly he is a bigot
Racist?
Press secretaries don’t seem to last long...and Gibbs might be close to his departure. He’s so dumb, he makes Biden look smart.
Glad to see that she challenged the ugly pig anyway.
Tony Snow NEVER talked down to any reporters, even the ones who deserved it.
Gibbs is the perfect spokesman for this administration — he is arrogant, condescending, flippant and dismissive, just like the TOTUS and its reader.
Why, oh why did God take Tony? :0(
Agreed -- Tony was one in a million. The very definition of class, intelligence and charm.
OTOH, his new role of Press Secretary to God works for me! We'll be Tony in the Great Bye and Bye.
r/will be Tony/will be SEEING Tony/
*DOH*
The most partisan press secretary in the most partisan presidency.
There is no class in this administration.
The presidency is supposed to have some regality, some above the fray spirit.
The right was upset with Bush because he carried this err of being above politics...
Obama and company do nothing except politically.
The worst, absolute worst press secretary in my life time...

He’s a PUNK...a MEAN PUNK!!
Joe Lockhart was just as bad as Gibbs.
The dreaded triple post! ;)
>>He’s a PUNK...a MEAN PUNK!!<<
Just like the rest of this administration — and its “czars.”
It’s enough to make one into a flaming feminist, he would NEVER speak to a male reporter this way. And good on that gal for asking a good question too. If Obama turns the MSM against him he is in for 3 years of hell.
who?
Joe Lockhart was one of Clinton;s Spokescreeps.
