The shopping list written on Robert Gibbs' hand says "EGGS ummm aahhh ummm MILK ummm aahhh ummm BREAD ummm aahhh." It also says "hope and change" because he HOPES to CHANGE into a real communicator some day.

In case you didn't have your cheaters on, the shopping list written on Gibbs' hand said: "eggs ummm aahhh ummm milk ummm aahhh ummm bread ummm aahhh." It also said "hope and change" because he hopes to change into a real communicator someday.

Already a laughing stock for his inability to hand the White House Press Corps¹ a single un-stammering sentence, the president's right- hand man, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has, yet again, put himself in a position to be mocked, perhaps, until the day he hands in his resignation.  Gibbs' cheap sleight²-of-hand attempt to slap intellectual doubt on Sarah Palin resulted in his own left³ hand betraying the hand jive that suggests the Obama administration is evenhanded and bipartisan...

¹The word "corps" is pronounced core -- as in the part of the apple that usually gets tossed...in case you've been copycatting your Dear Leader, Robbie.

²Extremely slight of hand in this instance.

³This administration does everything lefty.

...so give Gibbs a big hand!  Or even better, tell him to "Talk to the hand! (or throw him a fish)


Here's some genuinely clever hand humor...

 

I had to wash my hands after touching this story!

I'd like to tell Gibbs to talk to my middle-finger salute, but he probably wouldn't understand, being of first-grade reading level and all.

Do I detect jealousy of the young and successful Mr. Gibbs? If this is the best you've got, I think it's better to give the ol' blog a day's rest. Just MHO.

[MHO is that your implication of jealousy and un-youthfulness is the only criticism you've got today, bagel. Nonetheless, for a lefty it is a pretty tame personal attack -- kinda like Gibbs' hand-writing -- so maybe things are "changing" as the right gains popularity. -ED]


Funny! We need more conservative bloggers like you. Also, I like the Delta faucet ad!

Just one more display of arrogance, hate, and elitism from an administration bereft of any substance, competence, intellect, or honesty.

They can't find enough things to distract the American people away from focusing on the obama failures that are his administration!

Palin got the last laugh when she wrote "Hi Mom on her palm.  How can anybody not like Sarah Palin?

Des Moines, IA Register

[I can see lefties not liking Palin for what she stands for. I'd like her better myself if she had continued being governor of Alaska.  But the administration and its remaining few friends HATE her and demean her intelligence. Obviously, she's smart enough to scare them as much or more than any other Conservatives do. -ED]


He seems to try to be funny...

 

...not!

He did complain that his attempt at humor was met with criticism. He failed to realize that we are tired of the same old satirical diatribe he's been feeding us almost every day. He has become nothing less than a court jester.

 

JohnCDavidson

Mansfield, OH News Journal

[But don't you have to be funny, clever and animated to be a jester? -ED]


One thing that Republicans and Democrats agree on. Neither will put Sarah in the oval office any time soon. (or ever).  In a recent poll, 52% of Republicans said she's not qualified to be President. With a total of 70% of those who responded, also saying she's not qualified.  I'd really like to see Sarah as the new Hamburger Helper Hand

[That's pretty funny...especially if it was penned by a lefty. -ED]


Yesterday, Joe Biden said, "I’m very optimistic about Iraq. I think it will be one of the greatest achievements of this administration." Sometimes I'm completely flabbergasted by the delusional left. In the case of the Obama administration, I guess when you're failing at everything there are only two options available: blame the prior administration; and take credit from the prior administration. What's even more astonishing is that the "elitist" media can't see the idiocy of the politicians they elected.

[A bit off topic but germane to the conversation in that Joe the Schmoe is ALWAYS good for a laugh. -ED]


The more these fools try to play big man on campus the more the American public will see the truth.  These guys think the running of a government is like being in a sit-com on TV.  But like any sit-com the laffs dry up the faces become old and the jokes just ain't funny anymore.  Let's hope the good citizens of this country are willing to change the channel soon. If not I am afraid this show will be on for a while.

Take a look at Gibbs. Duh I don't know. I'll get back to you. Has there ever been a more incompetent press secretary than Gibbs.

The intellects in the obama krew still haven't figured out a trend. Whomever they attack picks up poll ratings and/or viewers on tv. Go for it gibbs!

She made a mistake by resigning.
She is not ready to be President.
But she is quite a bit ahead of Obama in the ready dept.
Just look at the fool Obama's results.

 

Obamster

St. Cloud, MN Times


I really don't see what the big deal was with her palm notes. Other than it's a little odd for someone of her stature (and age) to be scribbling notes on her hand, does anybody really expect public speakers to not have some kind of note type reference material while standing in front of hundreds of people?

If she runs she will never survive the primary debates with the likes of Huckabee, Bloomberg, or even Romney (like Sarah, he sits to pee, too.)

Gibbs was Kerry's PR man....I expect him to be among the first of Obama's insiders to leave. He seems not to be having as much fun as the first days after the election when all the reporters laughed at his jokes...now most just groan. The fun is gone and so will Gibbs before the end of the year.

 

Antonious

He should have kept his remark to himself that day. But he was funny!! We all know Sarah is not qualified to run for President no matter what political party she would belong to!

[People are overlooking the reason for Gibbs' counter-attack. It's not so much that Palin had cheat notes for a speech in which she criticized Obama for his use/abuse of his teleprompter, it's that she was critical of the president and his administration in the first place. The fact that she is currently a private citizen made Gibbs' attempt at mocking her tantamount to calling any other taxpayer out at an official press conference. This is not only the height of partisanship and, therefore, of hypocrisy, but is also a blatant attempt to curtail the opposition's First Amendment rights by using a bully pulpit to marginalize critics and to make them think twice about speaking their minds. You never saw the previous administration behave this way despite some of the harshest criticism in history. This is one tactic Obama can never say he inherited from his predecessor. -ED] 


Boy, Palin haters everywhere. I still do not understand why. Can someone give me just one specific indication or event that proves Ms. Palin is deserving of such acrimonious attitude? As for Gibbs, he is a shill for POTUS and must be expected to back up his boss. Obama was elected by the masses hoping for a change for the better. I can find no single issue that he has performed or policy that has taken shape to live up to that expectation. Examples of his accomplishments and how they are making life better, please. I would love to give him credit for doing something constructive. His henchmen do him no favors when they use four letter anglo- saxon expletives for sexual intercourse before a contentious adjective (Re******) and constant finger-pointing at the prior administration. Even the media are starting to ask "where's the beef?" of this administration.

 Gibbs is a freakin joke. His press conferences a series of ummmmmms and Ahhhhhhhhhh followed by nonanswers. I fully agree with you. Palin is a privare citizen and didn't deserve that nonsense from him. Shows just what a joke this administration is. Chicago hood-like politics at it's worst.

The left's playbook is getting old. Blame Bush, make fun of Palin, accuse anyone who disagrees with the President of racism. I feel sorry for Gibbs, he has to stand up there and try to defend Obama's agenda and it makes him look stupid.
