Gibbs Mocks Palin And Writes Shopping List On Hand

Talking Points Memo ^ | February 9, 2010 | Christina Bellantoni

[Karma Police]

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs flashed his hand at the White House press corps to jab former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Among the things he'd written in dark pen were "eggs, milk, bread," Gibbs said.

This was, of course, a reference to Palin's notes she wrote on her hand during the question-and-answer portion of her address to the Tea Party Nation this weekend in Nashville.

As the reporters in the room laughed, Gibbs added that he'd also written down "hope and change."

Correction.

Barack Obama did NOT speak to elementry school students using a teleprompter. He had TWO teleprompters.

[PapaBear3625]

He’s really cross-marketing Palin. They’s got Palin on the mind. She’s inside their haids.

They fear her. That's why they're so obsessed.

[Allegra]

Gibbs is such an immature little schoolgirl.

April 2009, Dems make fun of Gibbs for looking like he has notes on his hand:

Do they REALLY want to pursue this? Perhaps Sarah Palin can respond by having a few teleprompters at her next speech...

Yes, like ten of them in front of her.

That would be hilarious.

[Maceman]

Considering that he never has anything substantive to say, other than attacking, disparaging or dimissing legitimate questions about the Obama administration, I’m not surprised that a shopping list is the only thing that he would need to write on his hand.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Rather undignified for a man in his position. Doesn’t contribute to civility and bi-partisanship.

[Lazamataz]

Isn't it SEXIST
to make fun of a WOMAN
by using the icon of a SHOPPING LIST?
?????????

[hennie pennie]

Cross marketing? Thanks, I didn't realize there was a technical term for this behavior -- it's NOT something that is encouraged by pros, right?

Americans are soon going to get tatoos on their palms which read, "NO Teleprompter POTUS NO more"

[VRWCmember]

At Sarah’s next speech, she needs to haul a couple of teleprompters in with her, set them up in front of everybody, and then comment about how apparently all the talking heads and press secretary types think she needs to go more high-tech in order to be taken seriously.

[AndyJackson]

eggs, milk, bread...Gibbs added that he'd also written down "hope and change."

That is because he keeps drifting off message and needs to remind himself. He also didn't read his boss's memo. Eggs have colesterol, bread is empty calorie carbohydrates and I hope he meant low fat milk, or perhaps soy milk. Adults should not even drink milk. Does he want his kids to get fat? Jeeesshhh.

[abclily]

Tres bien!

[AndyJackson]

he has just dissed every woman who has ever gone grocery shopping.

How about every man? Tell me about it. If I don't have a list I miss something and then I am in big trouble. Even if I do have a list it is hard to make sure you actually got everything on it.

[rjp2005]

What’s on Obama’s hand?

LIE
CHEAT
STEAL

[Left2Right]

So that's the best the critics can do, attack her for writing on her hand. Gotta luv it, they can't attack her ideas.

In other breaking news of the day, it was reported that Sarah Palin once put the toilet paper roll on backwards and lost her cool when her husband once again left the toilet seat up...

[N. Theknow]

Meanwhile, this is Michelle talking to school students:

Anything look familiar?

Gibbs: proper noun, syn: asshat, toady, court jester, tool.

[a fool in paradise]

People in glass houses should NOT throw stones.

“I think my husband has done a phenomenal job staying on course, looking his critics in the eye, coming up with clear solutions against staying the course”

(Michelle Obama told Robin Roberts in an exclusive morning television interview on “Good Morning America)

>>> "Gibbs is a nasty, sarcastic, utterly mean person. He needs to be called out!" <<<

Huh??

Here I thought that the image being intentionally projected by the Gibbs Team is that of an exceptionally nice sociable avuncular gay uncle in the family.

HOW could you possibly ever believe that Ol' Baghdad Bob is a meanie weanie???

Do you . . . ever get the distinct impression that these folks are sooooooo thin-skinned that they actually take breaks during the day to catch up with whatever is said about them, HERE, here in 'enemy' territory?

Well... hi there, hand job Bob!!

[Sir Gawain]

I’ll slap you Gibbs you little bitch.
