Robert Gibbs isn’t even on the same intellectual level as Newt Gingrich. No wonder he doesn’t understand, frankly.

Gibbs and the word ‘idea’ in the same sentence. That’s good for a laugh or three.

I agree, Gibbs is a dope. Newt should dumb-down his message, just like the libs say Obama is so smart, We the People do not understand him.

Nice shot across the bow, Newt. I love to see the Feist Rising.

Robert Gibbs isn’t even on the same intellectual level as Newt Gingrich.

He and The New York Times are both playing to the Donk base. They know that very few liberals even know about the Forbes article, and fewer still have read it. So they can paint Gingrich's reference as being akin to "fringe conspiracy stuff" without fear that anyone in their base will think, "Hey, wait a minute."

Relying on your voters to be stupid has always been a big part of the Donk strategy, so what's new about that?

One thing that's new is that The New York Times is no longer even trying to hide how closely they are coordinating "the narrative" with the White House press office. This is the second time in a matter of days (the other was the attempted hatchet-job on Boehner) that The New York Times and the White House have been speaking with the same voice. Even those who might want to defend the Times can't countenance that; the Times looks like a government puppet, which will decimate what little credibility they have left.

Gibbs is a stooge who says what he is told to say. Gingrich is a thinker who sometimes gets some strange thoughts. This is not one of those times.
