The news is that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is resigning, effective after the January 25th State of the Union Address, and will become an “outside political advisor.” If Gibbs’ effectiveness in that role is as solid as the competency he has displayed as press secretary, a future Republican challenger to Barack Obama should be quietly smiling at this news.
Personally, I can’t recall a press secretary with a fraction of Gibbs’s smugness or superciliousness, or his tendency to talk down to reporters and the American people.
Don’t let the door hit you in the *** on the way out, Robert…

Not only was Gibbsy obnoxious, I could never figure out why the first black president would pick someone whiter than the pillsbury dough boy to be press secretary.

Ross,
I ALWAYS read your thoughts very carefully.
I don't comment very often on the blogs section. Too short legs.
Nevertheless, the reason I always read your thoughts is that you drop in and wrestle with us readers to get at some truths. Thank you.
Heh, in my mind...Gibbs should be talking "down" to reporters. The scumbags as a group are despicable.
Publicly lying for Obama has to be a tough job.
I wish him the best in his new job of cleaning up trash around the whitehouse.

So who's the replacement then? Is it Bill Burton, deputy spokesman, or Jay Carney, communication director for Vice President Biden (boring)? I hope it's Bill, because he's a classy guy, who likes to get his ass kicked by Megyn Kelly on FOX. If you've never seen this interview (if I can call it that), check it out, it's a good one (and Megyn's hot when she gets angry).

Gibbs needs to be taken to the nearest playground have the snot knocked out of him.
I can only pray that he meets with the fate he so richly deserves.

An amazing dolt. Not having to see his stupid
