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.

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

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

It was a pretty amusing line.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Substitute “Robert Gibbs” for “San Diego”

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."

Amateur and juvenile!

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

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