Politico has an extraordinary report on Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary, launching a furious broadside against the British press. Here are Gibbs' sneering and condescending remarks:
"I want to speak generally about some reports I've witnessed over the past few years in the British media," Gibbs said. "In some ways, I'm surprised it filtered down."
"Let's just say if I wanted to look up, if I wanted to read a write-up of how Manchester United fared last night in the Champions League Cup, I'd might open up a British newspaper," he continued. "If I was looking for something that bordered on truthful news, I'm not entirely sure it'd be the first pack of clips I'd pick up."
Gibbs' juvenile comments followed an article in The Daily Telegraph relating to the President's decision

Did chuckleboy Gibbs laugh when he made those comments, like the way he laughs at any questions regarding BO’s Birth Certificate?
Umm, don’t hold your breath.
The UK should know by now just where they stand with the Barry Administration and if not, woe unto them.
The little piggie should also apologize to the American people for threatening them over their Sotomayor fiasco.
The obamaistas don’t like the British press because that’s the only media that exposes them for what they are. God knows the American media won’t tell the truth.

Nailed it.
The US media is too far in the tank. The worst thing the foreign media could hope happened was they had their press credentials revoked.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Gibbs insults led to the British press actually investigating the circumstances of BO’s birth/citizenship.
This is great though. I remember how badly the British were pulling for Obama. Sucks to be them! And its a great object lesson for anyone who ever thinks Obama will reward their loyalty. For him, loyalty and support is all one way, like Kim Jong Il.
Are they talking about these photos ???

You got that right.

Yep, those are the ones.
The DT is correct. I think everyone here on Fr reads the British press because we all know the US MSM is completely in the tank as official buttlickers to the Zerobama.
Shut up. We have been ordered to not say anything bad about Obama’s new Queen of the Courts.
Wait, I have an idea. Obama should just make her Supreme Court Czar and be done with it.
If I was looking for someone with 1/2 a brain, common sense, and someone who isn’t a treasure trove of liguistic anamolies....YOU Robert Gibbs would not be someone I’d look up!
I wonder how many bothered to check the Telegraph link-the one showing photos ?
American troops wearing green cammies in Iraq ???
Is this what Free Republic has come to ???
You are willing to accept this sort of foul (and long-discredited)propaganda if it gives you the chance to carp about something ?
He is still better press secretary than Scott McClellan who looked depressed all the time.
I agree. Czar is a lot cooler than “judge.” Better yet! She could be the Czarina or Czartina of Empathy! Yeah! That’s the ticket!
