Gibbs in a Team Canada Hockey Jersey that he had to wear for 15 minutes, the reason is a lost bet with Gibbs's Canadian counterpart, Demitri Soudas, the spokesman for Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Video)

Pwned!

[AngryJawa]

We’re governed by fools and children.

[ClearCase_guy]

Exactly right. Who would make such a bet? Certainly not a statesman.

[Yossarian]

OK, the Canadians are our friends,and all, but... take a look at this image:

Now read what is being reported as to the terms of the bet:

The two spokesmen bet that if Team USA won, Soudas would brief reporters in a USA jersey on March 3. If Team Canada won, Gibbs would have to sport a Canadian jersey at his next off-camera meeting with reporters.

So super-genius Gibbs agrees to wear the Canadian jersey in a formal White House press briefing, while Soudas would only be wearing ours off-camera? WHAT A FOOL!

FWIW - Team Canada doesn't have a # 39 on their roster.

Which works out fine, since Gibbs is a nobody!

Quick correction on my own post:

Gibbs only had to wear the jersey off-camera, but he chose to wear it on a formal White House stage. DOUBLE FOOL!!

[counterpunch]

Not surprised Gibbs would come out dressed as a Canadian.
He and 0bama are burning down the White House at this very moment.

Look at Me! Look at me!

AH

[counterpunch]

#39 is Jimmy Carter’s number.
How fitting for this administration.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I wish Propaganda Minister Gibbs would defect.

[clintonh8r]

Gibbs, as always, is a loser.

[Slings and Arrows]

Giggle-at-Gibbels ping!

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe he picked it up the last time he went to see a doctor...

[Squawk 8888]

Side bets like this happen all the time, usually between city mayors.

[airborne]

Or 39 is Gibbs’s IQ.

[petitfour]

He is from Auburn. Enough said.

[TheOldLady]

Gibbels? You got that right.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks; it was obvious. This whole administration is like an epic-scale production of “Springtime for Hitler.”

For the first time in my life I’m embarrassed about my country.
