Some In Press Corps Laugh At White House’s Anti-Cheney, Limbaugh Jibe

I recently heard a talking ahead proclaim that the Obama administration had decided its anti-Rush offensive had run its course and that it would abandoning the campaign. Guess not. At today’s press briefing, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs took yet another swipe at Rush, and former VP Dick Cheney. What made it more notable was that at least some in the White House press corps could be heard laughing out loud at this latest attempt at humor.

It was a question from CNN’s Ed Henry, asking Gibbs to respond to the criticism Cheney had leveled at the Obama administration during a CNN interview yesterday, that prompted Gibbs’ jibe. View the video and you’ll see Gibbs pause before responding. This was a shot taken done with malice aforethought.

GIBBS: I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy, so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.

Some in press corps find anti-Cheney, Rush jibe funny ping to Today show list.

[Free America52]

Their arrogance knows no bounds. And it will end up being the reason they fail.

[anniegetyourgun]

We need to have them laughing at conservatives more - on tape. It’s called evidence.

[mbraynard]

It was a pretty amusing line.

[colorado tanker]

My a regular Groucho Marx, this guy is.

The MoveOn moonbats eat this stuff up, but is this bunch too stupid to understand this kind of petty, adolescent behavior diminishes this presidency?

[lnzog]

this is getting scary.

[Slings and Arrows]

We are being governed by the staff of Cracked.com

I set a liberal off this weekend into moonbat orbit when I posted the following statement:

"Obama's first year he'll have run up a $2 trillion dollar budget DEFICIT and Bush's first year he had a $128 billion dollar SURPLUS and Bush's approval ratings were higher at this point into his presidency than Obama's approval ratings."

All factually true and enough to drive a moonbat to exploded! LOL!!!

asking Gibbs to respond to the criticism Cheney had leveled at the Obama administration during a CNN interview yesterday

The CNN guy had to ask the question of the CNN interview because no other BIG MEDIA 'News' program mentioned it.

..can't have no disrespecting Da P-Man on the network news programs.

What else could we expect from The World's Smartest Press Secretary?

ca⋅bal   /kəˈbæl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kuh-bal] –noun 1. a small group of secret plotters, as against a government or person in authority.

The term is being used as part of their communist "Normalization". They're marginalizing half the country as some tiny evil conspiracy. Up next is their Rex 84 Final Solution.

[Chaguito]

ca⋅bal   1. a small group of secret plotters, as against a government or person in authority. 2. the plots and schemes of such a group; intrigue.

Interesting choice of words.

[TexasCajun]

What arrogance!

You would have thought the Dems won the popular vote by 99%.

They think the 45.62% who didn't for Obamah don't even exist any longer on the planet.

[ari-freedom]

should have known that was coming. I love cheney but his last minute endorsement was the last thing mccain needed.

[GOPsterinMA]

Substitute “Robert Gibbs” for “San Diego”

(not for the youngsters out there)

GIBBS: I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy, so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal.

As Rush always says, "Don't try this at home."

[Palladin]

Amateur and juvenile!

Gibbs (channeling Pee Wee Herman): “I know you are but what am I?”

[ichabod1]

reminds me of VWRC

[bray]

Wonder if its Carvile’s or Bagile’s line. What a bunch of thin skinned jerks.

Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Continued Failure

[matt1234]

Buttboy amuses fellow buttboys.

[nobama08]

The presidency was diminished as soon as Nobama won. It will only get worse. And Gibbs is just a goofball. Embarrassing.

[Jimmy Valentine]

"And it will end up being the reason they fail."

Wonder if they will still be laughing after the next terrorist attack?

[Professor_Leonide]

Don’t let this stuff surprise you. The MSM and the Democratic party are all pals cut from the same cloth. The tragedy is that some foolish people will think they are sharing a laugh and that people should laugh and not see it for what it is, corrupt bias.

[FormerACLUmember]

Loathesome low-life troll from the Worst Presidency in American History. Beyond despicable:

[ichabod1]

When Bezmenov warned me about how when communism came it would announce itself by putting a boot in my fat bottom, I didn’t realize its propaganda minister would be a pasty, fat, frat washout, white boy.

[SwankyC]

The VRWC is too goofy and harmless. I dont for a minute believe democrats are harmless given that thier most benign policies are very authoritarian. I think this is more insidious and it reminds me more of Nazis or the KGB.

[ichabod1]

Worst since Grant or Johnson (Andrew) maybe.

[colorado tanker]

Gibbs is a lunkhead, but in behaving like this he’s very much in tune with his boss’s arrogant, blundering behavior.

[pillut48]

BELTWAY BOB

HolyO's mouthpiece doesn't own a single thought of his own! He gets all his speaking points from Begala, Carville, Stephenwhopalous, etc!!

[EverOnward]

The smirk faced Gibbs attempt at snarky humor? Just another example of boorish, ill-bred adolescent behavior. Gibbs, the buffoon, doesn’t know enough to be embarrassed by his own uncouth incompetence.

[hinckley buzzard]

Snarkiness should be expected. After all, Gibbs is the pissy late-maturing dweeb the jocks all snapped with their towels in the locker room. Poor little twit never got over it. He fits right in with the mandarin princeling and his crew of eunuch belly-washers.

[sarah4life]

Yes. It’s unpresidential.

[nobama08]

I can’t help but compare Gibbs and the late Tony Snow, though there is really no comparison. He was one of a kind and sorely missed.

[sarah4life]

>>Bagile<<

Begala?

[donmeaker]

Don’t worry. They will blame the next terrorist attack on Right Wing Militia.

Remember when the Washington Sniper was disgruntled white men? Until they were caught, and found to be Muslim Black Homosexuals thieves, with stolen guns.

Haven’t heard a lot about that lately, have we?

[colorado tanker]

Tony Snow was an absolute class act, even when sparring with the press. None of this snarky, sneering stuff.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

Ah that’s the post of the day!

[top 2 toe red]

Talk about an Airhead, that balloon headed baboon is truly the primo example!

[VRWCmember]

reminds me of VWRC

Hey! I'm never that petty.

[Batman11]

“He fits right in with the mandarin princeling and his crew of eunuch belly-washers.”

Now that is a funny sentence! Well done!

[VRWCmember]

The VRWC is too goofy and harmless.

Do I call you names?

[OrangeHoof]

Imagine if Tony Snow or Scott McClellan had refered to a group of Democrats as a “cabal”. The libs would not only not see the humor but they would be demanding an investigation.

[GLDNGUN]

They think the 45.62% who didn't for Obamah don't even exist any longer on the planet.

Actually more than 70% of American adults did NOT vote for Obama.

[eureka!]

Keep it up Gibbs. Show your true colors to the American people. They think it’s real cute in these times...

[Liberty Valance]

Good to see the WH press room turned into the Daily Show.
Way to go Gibbs, when you’re done sucking gov’t tit Comedy Central is hiring.

[Yaelle]

I can’t help but compare Gibbs and the late Tony Snow, though there is really no comparison.

You mean CONTRAST Gibbs and the late Tony Snow, dearie.

[Batman11]

“Actually more than 70% of American adults did NOT vote for Obama.”

This is absolutely correct and should be shouted from the rooftops!!

[nobama08]

Much better word. Thanks.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Maybe the laughing is at the stupidity of the Obama people...
