**Heads Up: Gibbs' Daily Presser 2/11**
Who's watching it with me? Coming up soon on MSNBC

(sorry, cant find an internet link)

Get your pens ready! Whomever does the best impersonation of Chucky Boy Todd "sucking on a pen while looking at Gibbs lustily after asking a stupid question" gets a Obama Collector's Plate!

7. I was especially interested in them during Bush's term. I loved to see the spokesperson squirm.
Tony Snow was the best liar of all. And the reporters seemed to love him which drove me crazy. But back then, David Gregory would press him pretty hard.

Jay Tapper is usually pretty bad, too. (Does the winner get the plate depicting Obama and his "confident smile and kind eyes"?) :D

10. "I have cautioned you all about overreacting and yet you're still doing it!"
(paraphrasing)

You go get 'em Robert!

He should just bring this with him and wave it around....

13. "Read beyond the large fonts and the bold print!"
HA haaaa!!!! Again impoloring them to read more than just the MSM bullet points. Investigate the matter more fully.

14. He's repeating what the guy said on Hardball last night....
... that Wallstreet tanked because investors wanted the gvmt. to simply make MORE money ... it's not that simple.

16. "Text"
Reporter saying that the CEO of Caterpillar is going to inform the Pres. that if the bill passes, he can hire more workers, "I guess the President already got that memo somehow..."

to which Gibbs responded

"text" (as in "he sent him a text message")

Which of course was a joke lol.

17. It is a good thing he is so diplomatic,
I'd like to tell them to stop trying to make news and start actually reporting it. But that would entail research, which is sorely missing in today's media.

18. Perhaps after a few more months of Gibbs they will be forced to modify their methods a bit, although
it's a long shot.

19. lol "What did Sec. Gates say? TELL me what he said!"
Making the Chucky repeat Gates' remarks as if he were three. how funny

Although I would imagine that Gibbs is able to have more intelligent conversations with his five year old than he is with some of these folks.

20. Chuck Todd gets my award for most ridiculous and juvenile behavior and questions in that room.

23. Mine too ... I wrote MSNBC about his petty questions. Today, he questioned
Mrs. Obama's appearance in Vogue.

25. the media just sucks, we have a crisis going on and he's asking

26. I agree, that was garbage. Asking what it said about her intentions and goals. He's like a
high-school bench-warmer trying to play in the NBA finals. Failing.
