Robert Gibbs turns into Wonder Woman; successfully deflects 13 questions in a row
la times ^ | 5/20/2010 | Jimmy Orr

It was almost like White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs turned into Wonder Woman and was using her magical silver bracelets to deflect the onslaught of questions from two reporters Thursday afternoon. Gibbs, who only resembled the superhero in fending off the assailants (he wasn't wearing a unitard or anything), managed to successfully not answer a question although it was asked of him 13 times in a row.

An awe-inspiring performance? Absolutely. But what else would you expect from the man who called the Obama White House the most transparent in the history of the nation.

Not that it was an important question. Just if the White House tried to bribe U.S. Rep Joe Sestak to drop out of Pennsylvania's Senate primary by promising him a big honking job. And it's not like this is a crazy rumor started by some tinfoil-wearing nut bag. Sestak himself said it. Numerous times. As recently as Wednesday on CNN.

So was he offered a bribe or not? ABC's Jake Tapper took the first shot at Gibbs.

There’s a hornets nest being stirred up about now by Mr. Issa.

"...Rep. Darrell Issa. The ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is gearing up. But he's not going after Gibbs. He's got Sestak in his cross-hairs. Issa told the Washington Examiner Thursday that if Sestak won't break, he'll break him.
"If Congressman Sestak will not tell us, then to be honest the only choice we have is to deal with this from a standpoint of congressional integrity, under our ethics rules, either Congressman Sestak is lying, which would be an ethical violation, or he is covering up three felonies by members of the administration, which of course would be an ethical violation."

If Issa sticks to his guns, this just might end up being the 'Rat equivalent of Alexander Butterfield revealing the existence of the White House taping system under questioning by then-Senate Counsel Fred Thompson. in July '73.

I miss Baghdad Bob. At least he made no pretense about spewing Saddam’s propaganda and didn’t have Gibbs’ snugness. Maybe Obama should fire Gibbs and hire Baghdad Bob.

Does this reporter know for a fact Gibbs isn’t wearing unitards under his pants?

A unitard sounds like “it” has an IQ of 1.

I guess you guys still don’t get it. The Obama crows doesn’t give a rats ass what you think. They will li, change the rules and do as they see fit no matter what. Get use to it he was elected by an uneducated electorate who would not believe all the warnings and warning signs. You bought a celebrity now live with him and maybe just naybe you can get rid of him at the next Presidential election. Don’t count on it. This guy is not through with his changes, which could include a change to the way a President is elected. For one thing he still has that National Police force thing that he suggested some time ago...what’s with that? He is a communistic dictator
who cares not about America and will change it to his ideology, and he’s well on the way. The MSM is still asleep on the matter but there are sounds and signs of arousal, I only hope they are not too late to influence public opinion
to a higher awareness of what this guys’ intentions are. And his intentions are painfully clear, just think Cuba, Russia under Stalin, China and other socialistic countries.
If that’s what you think we should have then stay silent and listen to the Administration and their obvious lies their modus operendi, their blatant gangster tactics. Most of you (collective you) voted for him now live with him. I will admit I was hoodwinked for a short time, and I can usually recognize a con man but he fooled me too. He may be clever with a high IQ but like many with high IQ,’s he is only clever in one direction and that is his own ideology.
