THE VETTING OF SONIA SOTOMAYOR: ‘Hey Robert Gibbs, Explain YouTube?’

Here’s your perfunctory White House Press Briefing clip of Robert Gibbs explaining the YouTube, how it works an’ all that, to the important journalistic reporters. But why is the Maria lady on these YouTubes telling White America that it is the appellate judge’s role to import cocaine and abort teenagers? You decide. [YouTube]

    “…a small, short, out-of-context youtube clip.” Aren’t they all that way? Okay, maybe not sxephil.

    The internet is a series of tubes; There’s youtube, redtube, and some others.

    Does anyone else use the little finger-pointy hand cursor to pick people’s noses and make them eat boogers while they say stupid shit on the internet?

  6. Bruno says at 4:54 pm, May 26th, 2009

    facehead: I still love and respect all your work to create a conservative internet, the Redtube. Only this vision will protect me from things that I do not agree with and are therefore satan’s evil

    facehead: Redtube is okay, but for my free porn, I likes SlutLoad the best.

    bearbait: Yes. Everyone does that.

    Why is the MSM avoiding the real issues and looking into triviality like this?

    When will they ask if she bowed toward Mecca and then stated that there is no God but Allah, and Obama is his profit like every other Obama appointee, or did she get special treatment because she is a women?

    Hey, the bland pasty guy was almost stumped until he turned up his personality to 0.5

  12. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 5:21 pm, May 26th, 2009

    Wait, if YouTube is important to the nomination to the Supreme Court, does this mean a bottle of Diet Coke and a roll of Mentos can be Obama’s next candidate?

  13. Internally valid says at 5:28 pm, May 26th, 2009

    I can do it too!

    I have a dumb question [insert repetition of asinine triviality from the interwebs]. And a follow-up: can you reflect on the profound political and cultural consequences of the stupid questions that I ask?

  14. Tommmcatt says at 5:33 pm, May 26th, 2009

    Is it just me or is Robert Gibbs slowly morphing into Scott McClellan? Have they ever been in the same place at the same time? Think about it…

  15. V572625694 says at 5:48 pm, May 26th, 2009

    Tommmcatt: He doesn’t have that hunted look McClellan had. But it’s early in his career.

  16. Mr Blifil says at 5:53 pm, May 26th, 2009

    Why does every word out of that reporter’s mouth seem to suggest that perhaps he has a ball-gagged intern chained to a freezer in his basement? Shifty.

  17. WagTehGod says at 6:21 pm, May 26th, 2009

    I hope they at least vetted her for Swine Flu. I hear all the Messicans have it.

    Actually I sort of hope she has it so she can give it to Scalia.

  18. MzNicky says at 7:26 pm, May 26th, 2009

    bearbait: Well, I do now! HAW HAW! Thanx bearbait!

  19. Holding Out for a Hero says at 7:29 pm, May 26th, 2009

    How does Robert Gibbs not come down off the podium and start beating members of the White House Press Corp with the business end of a baseball bat? I mean seriously the guy must mainline Valium before doing these briefings

  20. Go Figure says at 11:41 pm, May 26th, 2009

    Oh hell- they ALL legislate from the bench, especially the Supreme court, as they have the final say & set precedent.
    If you don’t think they legislate from the bench, then cozy up for the confirmation grilling, I mean hearings & check out the kinds of questions the dipshit Senators ask!
    They will be like Vultures on the abortion issue.

    Here is the funniest kick of it all…. as the GOP sharpen their pitchforks & fire up their trches, they will have forgotten Bush # 41 appointed her to the Federal Bench in 1991.

    Who here does not love a circus???

  21. Bruno says at 1:32 am, May 27th, 2009

    Maria, here is my litmus test question:

    If Jeb Bush runs for president, and it comes to a Supreme Court standoff ensues, which way will you vote?
