Robert Gibbs Mocks Sarah Palin from White House Podium...When Imitation Isnt Flattery February 09, 2010
Karen Travers reports:
It may not have been as dead-on accurate as the Saturday Night Live impression by Tina Fey, but today White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocked former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) for seeming to rely on crib notes for a speech last weekend.
Answering a question about the Obama Administrations stance on health care negotiations with Republicans, Gibbs stopped and looked at his left hand and said coyly, Oh I wrote a few things down.
I wrote eggs, milk and bread, Gibbs said. But I crossed out bread, just so I can make pancakes for [son] Ethan if it snows. And then I wrote down "hope and change," just in case I forgot.
Gibbs of course was referring to the heat that Palin took on the Internet this week for what appeared to be crib notes on her hand during her address to the Tea Party convention on Saturday night.
Photographs show that written on Palins left palm were the words energy, cut taxes and lift American spirits.
The word budget also was visible but was crossed out.
Palin tried to play it off the following day while campaigning in Texas for Gov. Rick Perry (R) with another message on her hand Hi Mom.
Critics charged Palin with double standards after she poked fun at Obama Saturday for his frequent use of a teleprompter for speeches.
"This is about the people," Palin said Saturday, referring to the Tea Party convention. "This is about the people, and it's bigger than any king or queen of a Tea Party. And it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter."

Yeah, aside from the WH stooping to this cr*p, Sarah beat them to the punch using “Hi, Mom” on her hand over the weekend.
They probably don’t even know that though, do they? Just another in a long line of things they don’t know.
I'm sure he had brown eggs, wheat bread, and chocolate milk to satisfy the NAACP.
Gibbs is another reason why people in this country are sick of this Administration. They act like a bunch of jerks!
Yesterday Leno, as if taking orders from somebody, also made jokes about it. I have noticed that Leno follows the Democrats talking points when it come to Palin. Maybe Letterman does it also - I have not watched him since his outrageous comments about Palin's daughter Willow. Imus was fired for far less than that.
In gym class they called him little Richard!
“Everytime they do this, they illustrate how important Palin is. Else they would ignore her.”
Bingo. They are so childish.
Sorry, he would have to have a pair to be one.
Gibbs is such a maroon.
When we were kids, Gibbs is the same kind of little punk that we used to kick the shit out of on the playground.
Gibbs has to be the most crap filled person ever to be a spokesman for any democrap admin!
You know some supposidly brilliant people are really quite stupid. Yes Axelrod, Emanuel and Gibbs, I do mean you.
Thanks to them, now everyone will be watching every speech Sarah Palin gives just to see what all the cheap shots are all about.
Meanwhile Zero has no Superbowls left anytime soon to steal TV time from. He has to wait for March Madness to anger basketball fans.
So child like and very, very unprofessional. They are terrified of Sarah Palin.
You know, y’all can hate on Gibbs as much as you want, but consider who he’s the spokesman for. He’s only doing his job—if he didn’t, the Man would cut him loose. So what does this say about the Man?
The real villians in this story are who they always are. The driveby media. The state run media. The Leftist Press Corpse.
Their little HateFest against Sarah just cannot stop to even take a breath. They made Obama and tried (and have been trying) to unmake Sarah just like the Man they made but it’s a game they cannot master.
Always, always, always—when you read these stories—look between the lines.
The press loves it when someone—Gibbs, whoever—goes after Palin. The bile rises so fast they can taste it—let’s hope they choke on it.
I’m to the point now that I’ll spend the 50 cents or a dollar just to buy one of their newspapers in the Rag-O-Matic newspaper machines and then prop it open so others can have them for free, or take out the whole stack and toss them all in the nearest garbage can.
Perhaps Gibbs is better as a housewife. Give his mate the job of White House Press Secretary and see what happens!
Talking about her shows that they care!
So what’s it feel like being the worst press secretary to the worst president in history? Gibbs, you might want to start writing down some facts on your palms to go along with the hair that’s already there.
