Who Raised This Guy?

Since I stopped watching TV in the morning, I tend to miss fun stuff like watching Fox and Friends morning host Gretchen Carlson make White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs look foolish--something that requires no effort really. Enjoy.

It's curious that President Obama's two most public representatives, Gibbs and Vice President Joseph Biden, seem so--how to put this gently--dim. Gibbs' mental deficiencies are particularly vexing (and, ironically, funny) because they are joined with sneering condescension in the same small space. He thinks he's smarter than anyone interviewing him and he unfailingly attempts to prove it--to show that interviewer who his/her intellectual better is. 

But every time Gibbs tries this, he ends up looking all the dimmer for it. Who didn't know that Carlson was going to put Gibbs in his place when he attempted to interview her? (And don't you just love trying to have a conversation with a person who throws up the "playing games" smoke screen when they are trying to avoid answering a question honestly?)

I feel sorry for Robert Gibbs;  but if I had to interview the guy, it's probable that my sympathy level would be much lower.  Look at the expression on Carlson's face! Not a drop of sympathy for the learning disabled.

What a clumsy liar Robert Gibbs is.

I listened to several of Candidate Obama's comments about the surge. He specifically said that the Petreaus/Mattis/Odierno strategy would fail. He said it back in 2007.

But I guess that's all gone down the memory hole. So now we rewrite history and say that everyone always perfectly agreed about the success of the surge.

In other news, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Not really surprising. For Obama to maintain his wholly unearned reputation as The Smirtest Preznint in Da Wurrrrrld!!! he has to ensure he's surrounded by people less intelligent than he. Gibbs and Biden fit the bill. Sad thing is, they might be the onto two people he could dig up that were conspicuously less bright than he is.
