Robert Gibbs Responds To Fat Unemployed Adulterer’s Twitter

CBS White House correspondent Chip Reid, who famously loves Dick Cheney so much, brought a very important News Question to today’s briefing with Robert Gibbs: hey Gibbs, you seen this racism deal on Newt Gingrich’s “blog,” you know, the thing he wrote on his blog about the racist Supreme Court? (He is referring to the web-based application Twitter.) Gibbs says no, who cares about Newt Gingrich’s mobile phone blog. [YouTube]

    Chip is in the WH press corps for GIBBS TO POOP ON!!!1!

  2. freakishlystrong says at 3:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Exactly how that comment should be dismissed. Why the fuck does anyone listen to Newt fucking Gingrich?

  3. nbawriter says at 3:58 pm, May 27th, 2009

    When does the WH just put out a press release?

    ATTENTION MEDIA: Please no more questions about what Gingrich, Santorum, Cheney, et al write on their Twitterz, Blogz, or Kiddie Pornatarium Wallz about anything. They were voted out of office, which makes their opinions unpopular/retarded.

    Yes, but Newt Gingrich also took a big shit this morning. Did Robert Gibbs hear about that? It’s very important Washington business. The people demand to know!

    Like David Denby, I don’t like snark. Unless you’re a master it’s hard to be mean enough with these people. For instance, it’s not snarky to say that I want Gingrich to fucking get cancer and die.

  6. voyetra8 says at 4:04 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Gingrich is obviously on the myfaces and teh twatter as a runup to his 2012 presidential bid.

    He will fight the establishment from the new media trenches.

    He will twat and his followers will retwat into the vast grassroots computer network I have named “The Information Superhighway.”

  7. CorkPopper says at 4:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

    The YouTube doesn’t work at my job. (Fascists.) What did he say? I can’t wait another two hours to find out.

  8. gurukalehuru says at 4:06 pm, May 27th, 2009

    This twitter thing is going to be like the new “it was the alcohol talking” or it should

  9. Hooray For Anything says at 4:07 pm, May 27th, 2009

    How long before we hear a question thrown at Gibbs based on some Republicans’ facebook status?

  10. V572625694 says at 4:12 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Ha ha, Chip was wondering if Gibbsie was paying adequate respect to Gingrich’s twats, and Gibbsie laid a Fleischer on him:

    “Everybody should be careful about what they say,” you douche bag, because if you see a pool of brake fluid under your car tomorrow morning, it might not be safe to drive down here. Because it’s a dangerous world out there. You read me?

  11. Blender says at 4:13 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I didn’t really care for Gibbs at first, but he’s starting to impress me with that “hoo boy, you ARE the dumbest motherfucker on this planet, ain’t ya?” look he gives “reporters” when they ask questions that just reek of The Stupid.

  12. Who is this “Newt” you people keep talking about?

  13. AHAHahAhahhaa, ‘blog of a former somebody’. A nobody’s twitter, or ‘notwitter’ for short.

  14. Larry McAwful says at 4:15 pm, May 27th, 2009

    My response was, “Newt Gingrich? Is he still alive? Or am I thinking of Buddy Hackett?”

    Man, I could so do Robert Gibbs’ job. I would be awesome at it.

  15. bitchincamaro says at 4:16 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Bob Gibbs has the diplomat-speak down cold. Cold, I say!

    His thought bubble was all #$%^&*#$%^& Newtie #$%^&*!!!!!!!

  16. liquiddaddy says at 4:17 pm, May 27th, 2009

    NoWireHangers: Hurrrrrgh! (plop) Hey look! It’s the former speaker of the house.

  17. chascates says at 4:17 pm, May 27th, 2009

    The real slam is by not calling him ‘former Speaker’ as that is how Newt prefers to be called. His main portal is http://www.speakergingrich.com and he’s ask talk show hosts to refer to him in that manner.

    As opposed to lying, adulterous, egotistical blowhard.

  18. rev_matt_y says at 4:17 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Is there a shorthand for “twittering while drunk”? Or is it just assumed?

  19. Blender: Also, it’s the way he barely restrains his smile as he hears a question he just KNOWS he’ll make the questioner regret asking.

  20. problemwithcaring says at 4:19 pm, May 27th, 2009

    He sounds like Dana Perino with that “people should be careful how they describe…” shit.

    I love you Robby, but screw you and your suppression of speech. Let these racists call her racists and see how long real racists Mexicans will stand for it.

  21. Lascauxcaveman says at 4:19 pm, May 27th, 2009

    This is why I think Rahm would make a better press secretary. Gibbs just isn’t mean enough to use the words “fat,” “unemployed,” “adulterous,” “irrelevant,” “has-been,” “hypocrite,” etc to deal with these old retired thugs when appropriate.

  22. Scrodd says at 4:20 pm, May 27th, 2009

    FMA: A morbidly obese nobody who can’t hold a marriage together.

  23. Fox n Fiends says at 4:20 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Newt is a Catholic now so he thinks his many sins are forgiven. Next he’ll convert to Mormonism so he won’t have to divorce his next 8 wives.

  24. prophet1195 says at 4:22 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Newt ate Jeffrey Dahmer.

  25. Chickensmack says at 4:25 pm, May 27th, 2009

    I best remember two politicians who kept working names after their retirement: Jimmy Carter and Bob Dole.

    Jimmy kept doing great things. Bob Dole shilled dick medicine.

    That’s your choices, Newt. Do great things, or sell an unholy product. Your choice.

  26. Scrodd: So, this “Newt” is the same person as “Rush”? It always sounded like Newt had a jones for horse tranquilizers.

  27. chascates says at 4:33 pm, May 27th, 2009

    DailyKos says Newt made this tweet while visiting Auschwitz. Which doubles the classiness of it.

  28. mollymcgwire says at 4:36 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Chickensmack: He cant do great things because he has no soul. He can’t sell Viagra because he has no dick.

  29. digibal235 says at 4:40 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Why are the new voices of the Republican party people who famously fucked up the country already and, in Newt’s case, resigned after being pressure by the Republican party because he couldn’t stop cheating on his 2nd wife?

  30. WadISay says at 4:51 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Tomorrow’s news today: 7×24 coverage of fookin’ Newt declaring Sonia Sotomayor apostate and anathema, and excommunicating her for Holy Mother Church. (*inverts and smashes candle*)

  31. proudgrampa says at 5:16 pm, May 27th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: I don’t know why he even gets the time o’ freakin day.

    And Gingrich is an irrelevant douchebag. Also.

  32. Enturbulate says at 5:42 pm, May 27th, 2009

    mollymcgwire: *Sopranos-style “Oooooooh!* Win.

  33. DustBowlBlues says at 5:54 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Blender: Gibbs can hold his own and do it with a smile. Not like that asshat Fleischer or the cute blonde who didn’t know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.

    Is it time for Twitter to go away and die? I think so.

  34. 1ofUS says at 7:08 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Newty, get your mama some smokes…and wipe that crap off your poop chute. Jesus.

  35. Holding Out for a Hero says at 7:16 pm, May 27th, 2009

    According to Politico - Robert Gibbs gets more laughs at his briefings than previous WH press secretaries with his wisecracks. Um…fellas, he’s laughing at you, not with you…I’m just sayin’.

  36. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 8:07 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Jesus Christ on a waterboard, they give press corps credentials to people named “Chip”?

  37. Brendan M. says at 11:30 pm, May 27th, 2009

    Turd Way: Newt Gingrich with cancer? Is that why he divorced himself from reality?

    Advocatus_Diaboli: They gave credentials to someone named “Cocks,” so why not?
