Oh, God No - Gibbs eyed for DNC chair

[Ramulux]

"Democratic insiders are taking the temperature of some top party donors about the possibility of naming White House press secretary Robert Gibbs as chairman of the Democratic National Committee heading into President Barack Obama’s reelection campaign in 2012, senior officials tell POLITICO."

Wow, I really dont think they could pick someone worse, this is amazingly stupid in a political sense. How long do you think it will be before the white house figures out that liberals fucking hate Robert Gibbs?

1. holymutheruhgod.

Hard to come wp with a worse choice. I don't actually hate Gibbs, I just think he's the wrong man for the job. Any job, actually.

[Control-Z]

10. ditto

so wrong

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

2. This leads me to two different questions.

First, is Tim Kaine now wishing he could recall his silly logo? Seems that fiasco sealed his fate, if this story is true.

Second, if Gibbs becomes DNC chair, does that mean his war on "the professional Left" becomes the official party position.

Just one Son of Man's opinion here, but I really think they should bring back Howard Dean.

3. There goes that Pee-word again.

Politico = at the root of unnamed sourced poo-stirring since 2007 and still going strong.

Not saying there's more to this but I'd prefer to hear it from some other sources along with/rather than Politico.


Edit: gonna deep read vs. scan to see if I can answer my own questions.

4. Gibbs has denied that this is true. n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

5. Duh. Dupe.

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Want a real stomach-flipper of a thought?

Maybe they know what we think of him, and maybe that's the point of the appointment.

[Nite Owl]

12. My first thought too

usually the more we express a dislike or like for something or someone the opposite is done.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. Well, THAT made me change my sig line.

Actions always speak louder than words.
Looks like **our** party is telling us something.
Message received.

8. DU needs a 3rd option

Recommend - Unrecommended - Yikes!

[bigwillq]

17. ha ha

LOL! :rofl: :thumbsup:

[Jim Sagle]

26. And a viable 3rd party as well.

[Xipe Totec]

9. That's good news and bad news

The good news is that he's thinking about stepping down as Press Secretary.

The bad news is that he wants to replace the Dean Scream with the Gibbs squeak.

[madinmaryland]

11. Well, considering Tim Kaine spent 18 months designing a "D" inside of a circle,

I suppose that Gibbs would be an improvement.

[Jackpine Radical]

18. Ya know, I can think of about a dozen ways to turn that logo

into something ya wouldn't want to see. The mildest of them is just to put a red "No" bar across it.

[stray cat]

13. Poor DU....

[jillan]

14. That's all we need - another soft spoken, easy going guy that says um between every sentence except

when he is insulting the base.

Why not Ed Schulz, I know he is not available, but someone like that? Someone that is not afraid to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done.

[AlabamaLibrul]

15. If he goes, I humbly suggest Mike Malloy for press secretary.

Just think about it....

[emulatorloo]

16. "liberals fucking hate Robert Gibbs" Seriously I doubt most liberals have ever heard of him

DU is kind of a bubble.

At any rate, I doubt this rumor. But we do need a new chair.

[Jackpine Radical]

19. And Gibbs ain't it.

No matter who's heard of him. It's the reality, not just the image, that I object to.

[emulatorloo]

20. I doubt he wants the job. We need a Howard Dean Clone.

[Jackpine Radical]

23. That's pretty much my thought.

Damn shame they burned him so badly. He's the best thing to have happened to the Dems' electoral chances in years.

[Jackpine Radical]

24. And one more wicked thought:

"Screech if you want Dean back!"

[Autumn]

21. Maybe instead of talking to top party donors,

they should maybe talk to some VOTERS, you know.

[Raine]

22. No words can express my disgust

at this idea only this ... :puke: :mad:

[Cirque du So-What]

25. How many threads have been started, based on nothing more

than speculation promulgated on a right-leaning rumor mill? How many views, posts, recs & subsequent views on the so-called 'Greatest Page' have been engendered - and now my futile attempt to chastise the Typhoid Marys who spread this disease among the base of the Democratic party?

Here's a modest suggestion: GET A FUCKING GRIP!
