The White House On V: What Aliens? (reporters dissing Gibbs to his face)
io9.com ^ | 11/7/2009

Posted on 11/07/2009 4:26:49 PM PST by SonOfDarkSkies

Tommy Christopher (to Gibbs): Robert, I have one question and one clarification. First, the new TV series on ABC, "V," a lot of people are talking about how this show draws very strong –

Gibbs: I got to tell you - I'm going to start with this: I don't want to give anybody the impression I have time to watch anything other than what most of you all do each night. So I can't even tell you what that is or what it's about. If that makes me fairly un-cool, I tend to watch more "SpongeBob" than "V."

Tommy Christopher:There have been a lot of news stories about this –

Gibbs: Makes me a hit with one six-year-old, and that really is all that counts.

Tommy Christopher: You haven't seen the news stories about how this show compares your administration to the alien invaders? (Laughter.) Seriously, really, you haven't heard about it?

Q: He couldn't admit it if he had. (Laughter.)

Gibbs: Because there's a chip in the back of my head that requires me - (laughter) - I don't mean to - I honestly - I got to tell you, I spend - I watch a little football on Saturday, a little football on Sunday, and a lot of news every other time.

Tommy Christopher: Fourteen million people watch it, and the show –

Gibbs: And clearly, me not being one of them. Again, I –

[Cross-talk.] (Laughter.)

Gibbs: Hold on. I'm not entirely sure who I'd check on since I don't watch the show.

Tommy Christopher: Well, check with the President, see if he has a reaction –

I'm think they're beginning to laugh AT him, not WITH him.

Here’s a video of the entire exchange and a little more of the remarks. At the end one of the reporters said, “It’s serious!”

If they made that small incision under “Fearless Leader’s” ear, I wonder what they would find?

It is hystical especially when the alien talks with a reporter and promises him total access as long as they do not ask them any negative questions.

Obama reminds me of one of those aliens from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, with that phony, frozen smile of his.

And that's a bad sign this early in a Presidency.

At least the fictional "V"s in this show were going to mercifully exterminate the human population....

The Marxist scum running the country will leave no hope whatever for escaping, through death, the enslavement under the centuries-long evil tyranny they intend for those who are healthy between the ages of 3-years and 55-years. The rest are toast anyway...

Thanks for the non-hulu link. Ever since they used big libs as their spokepeople in the commercials I’ve decided to avoid them. Alec Baldwin sucks @ss through a 7-11 spoon-straw.

This series could turn into another 24 style thread.

There is one tin foil kind of guy (he was tin foil at the beginning - before it turned out he was correct) who reminds me of Glenn Beck.

Good one, that might get as much use as our pic of Captain Renault being “shocked, shocked!” by the end of the term.

This would also apply to Charlie Gibson pretending not to know what this “ACORN” bunch was about, the NYT not giving a damn about Van Jones, and Obama himself not watching election returns this past Tuesday.
