If the president's mouthpiece is a human pinata, as one former press secretary put it, then Robert Gibbs is a papier mache tiger.
And the White House press secretary is feeling the hits more and more, as the daily briefings get more contentious and he faces an increasingly prying press corps.
Pinata may not be a role Gibbs is comfortable playing. His tendency is toward levity, and he's kept that trademark sense, injecting humor into the situation to keep tensions from flaring too much -- a joke here, a playful metaphor there, a little bit of physical comedy.
But in response to rising pressure, analysts say Gibbs is showing a thin skin, quick to punch back and take a dig at a reporter rather than absorb it and move on

But is he full of candy and other treats?
My guess is even the liberal media is starting to wake up and tired of being constantly lied to.
If the media ever does wake up and start telling the truth themselves the defecation will really hit the rotating device.
Gibbs cannot defend his own ideology let alone the activities of this government.
He’s full of something...
It is very disgusting to watch.
La piñata tiene caca.
Gibbs is an idiot. If he was a pubbie press secretary spouting such BS and nonsence, the presstitutes would rip him to pieces.

And when Gibbsy accepted the job he expected the toughest thing he would face would be catching all of those soft balls tossed his way for the next four years.
He is a microcosm of this entire Admin........fragile and wilting to all but the easiest of challenges.


This really puts into perspective for me how far we have fallen as a nation. (I just put this on another post as well, comparing the two makes me sick in the stomach)
Do you have a stick to find out? This reminds I will have to look for that YouTube with Kathy Lee beating up the pinata with no mercy.
I’d hit it.
I’ve predicted before that once support for Zero falls to a tipping point, his media allies will turn on him. Didn’t expect it this early, though.
Gibbs employes circular reasoning as his primary approach. I don’t see why the attending “reporters” (I use the word loosely) have put up with him so far, given he treats them like school children. I find Gibbs to be intolerable.
In his typical whinny voice, Gibbs says: “It’s good because I like it and I say it is. I like it because it’s good, which is why I say it. You got that?”
I just did a search for it. It seems to have been taken down everywhere for a “terms of use violation.” I guess we’ll just have to imagine it.
Same results here - it was very funny - she was channeling something else besides Cinco de Mayo.
Nothing very funny about Gibb’s jokes. Every one of them is an insult of some kind: attacks on Bush, Palin, or the reporter who dares ask a real question. Sometimes the whole Washington Press Corps is insulted.
It beats me how they can just stand there and take it, day after day, like good little whack-a-moles.
