White House Press Briefings Totally Out of Control

by Choire posted @4:30 PM

PLAY ROBERT GIBBS OFFOh boy. My goodness. Good grief! Today at the White House press briefing: "The second announcement is the Senate Democrats will come down to the White House tomorrow and have lunch here with the President.

Q All of them?

MR. GIBBS: All of them.

Q Open press?

MR. GIBBS: Unclear.

Q But we're all invited to the lunch?"

"MR. GIBBS: You didn't get your invite?

Q Is beer being served? (Laughter.)

Q Why are they –

MR. GIBBS: To continue to talk about the priorities that they have, talk about what has been accomplished in the first six-and-a-half months of the administration, and to talk about our priorities.

Q There's no particular issue?

MR. GIBBS: No. No. And it's the President's birthday, and Chuck E. Cheese was booked.

Q I got it. (Laughter.)

MR. GIBBS: Good. That didn't actually cause you to laugh, though.

Q No. (Laughter.)"

    Exactly when did Gibbs become Keyboard Cat? Or more precisely, when did it finally dawn on everyone that Gibbs has always been the ultimate keyboard cat?
