Oh that Robert Gibbs and his Making Fun Of Trig, by writing notes on his hand during today’s White House Press Briefing. Our beloved press corps is simply not sure how to handle this. OUCH, man, OUCH. What did Trig ever do to Robert Gibbs, anyway? UPDATE: Oh jeebus, they WILL whine about this. AP write-up: “Many in the room, where President Barack Obama had spoken just moments before about the need for bipartisanship, groaned at the political shot.” Also, and also. [YouTube]

When Sarah does it, it is satire. When Robert does it, he hates the troops.
I loves it.
This, from the country that produced Mark Twain.
He had to look at the teleprompter to remember when to look at his hand.
Robert Gibbs is SO MEAN and should be FIRED RIGHT NOW.
gibbs in ’16.
Folk humor, also.
And I’m wondering how Steve Doocy and the guy who is not Steve Doocy are going to criticize Gibbs for this one, since they can’t really defend numbnuts.
I have no opinion until I hear Rush Limbaugh reading off Rahm Emanuel’s palm.
[re=510208]Tommmcatt[/re]: But the education system it took to produce Mark Twain is LONG gone. Maybe when Halley’s Comet returns it will too?
Wouldn’t Sarah Palin make an extraordinary Press Secretary!? Wow!
[re=510208]Tommmcatt[/re]: Yeah, well, we also produced Erich Segal, who probably outsold Mark Twain in his lifetime, so there.
Of course, as an Alabama native, Gibbs should have written “fuck my sister” on his (hairy) palm.
Oh, and let me just say this: If one goddammed motherfucking Democrat anywhere, anytime, apologizes, or calls for an apology over this, I quit the party, for now and for fucking ever. That is all.
Robert’s LiveTard® bracelet accessorizes quite well with the YouTard player.
Steve Doocy definitely thinks Gibbs did that on purpose.
Sarah Palin calls on Gibbs to apologise for acting retarded in 3…2…
GIBBS/COLBERT ’12
Trig is part of America’s gorgeous mosaic of intelligences. Trig is the future of America. Don’t saddle Trig with so much debt that he can’t count it all. 1 2 3 3 3 4 5 7 6 8 10 Trillion.
I already made this joke over at Gawker, Jim,
[re=510224]Extemporanus[/re]: The bracelet in fact says “Ethan Gibbs”…in case he forgets.
How’s that “folksy” workin’ for ya neeeeeeoooooooow! (applause, laughter, rose petals)
I’m just waiting for the first handjob joke.
[re=510219]Katydid[/re]: exactly. it’s like all these kids liking the 80′s music, not realizing that for every smiths song that didn’t get on the radio, there were like a million hair bands that did. barf.
Let’s give Robert Gibbs a big hand!
It would be funnier if, you know, the WH could actually do something and not look like a bunch of impotent, directionless wankers. As it is, it just seems to clever by half. Bomb Gibbs Now.
Rahm’s palm:
FUCKING RETARDED
SORRY (crossed out)
NO, FUCK YOU
I would love this if the GOP wasn’t going to spin it as proof that the White House is threatened by Sarah Palin. But they are.
[re=510216]steverino247[/re]: “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” Who said it, Mark Twain or Sarah Palin?
I think Robert Gibbs is just dreamy.
On another note, I’m sorry Trig is retarded. He can at least take some comfort from the fact that it runs in the family.
Very too many palms are becoming hand jobs.
What has this country come to when you cant mock someone for their lifestyle choice. Gibbs will continue to mock trig until he chooses to stop leading the life of a retard, just as Palin will cease to mock Obama when he chooses to not be a muslin anymore.
[re=510217]RobertP[/re]: Wouldn’t that require that she talk to the press?
“Lets kill the commie nigger” being shouted at the teabagger rallies doesn’t raise an eyebrow from our wonderful political reporters, but writing on your hand draws groans? OK, I guess
Was this stunt pulled in Nashville, the home of “good country music and barbeque?”* I believe those to be prerequisites for being retarded and having folks love ya for it.
*From the opening lines of Sarah’s $100,000 speech.
[re=510238]Buzz Feedback[/re]: On his right palm it says “use this to smack forehead when boss screws up”.
This is another example of the fundamental difference between Democrats and Tea Baggers. We all know we all masturbate. The Tea Bagger get’s off in secret and lies about it, the Democrat just whips it out in public and laughs about it shamelessly. I guess it’s the lack of self loathing that differentiates the two groups.
[re=510219]Katydid[/re]: But a more egregious strike against us is producing that gawdawful Bridges of Madison County, which probably outsold the Bible. Even.
[re=510240]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: fuckit, they are ALWAYS going to outspin us. Might as well enjoy the ride.
[re=510251]herpezhilton[/re]: [re=510217]RobertP[/re]: She could start off as Lee Press-On™ Secretary, and work her way up to it.
Oh, wait, did I say “work”? Bwahahaha, nevermind!
[re=510231]Voyou Charmant[/re]: Too fucking slow fucking retard!
[re=510240]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: “I would love this if the GOP wasn’t going to spin it as proof that the White House is threatened by Sarah Palin. But they are.”
by “but they are,” do you mean the way the goppers will spin it? or do you mean the white house is skeert of sarah? cuzz i don’t think it’s the latter. i think the obamites are plum pleased to keep sarah in the limelight. if the goppers want to maintain that the white house fears sarah, that plays right into demo hands. while the core wingnuts may think she’s the best thing since shit on a shingle, the goppers will need to reach far more than their core to win, and sarah’s reach ain’t nowhere near that far. she and her supporters are the termites infesting the house of gop, threatening to bring the whole thing down.
[re=510258]bitchincamaro[/re]: Thx. That makes me feel better!
“fuckit, they are ALWAYS going to outspin us. Might as well enjoy the ride.”
Yup, until the papers and tv congloms breathe their last breath, they’ll continue bedwetting over any sense of humor ever elicited by the Dems, while guffawing at any racist/sexist trash that comes out of Republican leaders. “Oh John McCain, where is that magnificent ape indeed heh heh heh”.
“do you mean the way the goppers will spin it? or do you mean the white house is skeert of sarah? cuzz i don’t think it’s the latter. i think the obamites are plum pleased to keep sarah in the limelight. if the goppers want to maintain that the white house fears sarah, that plays right into demo hands.”
Claiming “Palin Derangement Syndrome” = money in the coffers. It’s exactly how they’ll spin it.
Oh man, the comments on the Breitbart link-through are priceless. Talk about a confederacy of dunces.
[re=510238]Buzz Feedback[/re]: Verily do we need wanking directions.
[re=510271]TGY[/re]: forsooth.
[re=510219]Katydid[/re]: and Michael Bolton.
Seriously, these guys should keep their pie holes shut. Making fun of Palin just endears her to the stoopid.
[re=510223]Katydid[/re]: Agreed.
Yeah it was a little bit funny, but Gibby shouldn’t have announced he had something written on his palm. Rather he should have looked back and forth between his hand and the crowd and wait for one of those crack reporters in the White House pool to ask him about it. Sheesh, comedic fail.
And by “crack reporters” I mean the ones who are smokin’ the rock between pressers, i.e. all of ‘em except Helen.
I thought the comments on the AP story were wild, then saw it was Breitbart …
that is SO retarded.
[re=510264]slappypaddy[/re]: Of course the White House isn’t threatened by Palin. And that’s why they should ignore her and let the minions mock her on their behalf.
Just further proof that Democrats have no fucking idea how this game works. This should have been a joke made in about a week, by a Democratic Senator, at a minor fundraiser. Not by Gibbs.
Oh, just great. This is the straw that broke the retards back. Gibbs has started the second Civil War.
That is so ridiculously skewed by the AP it isn’t funny, obviously the groaning coincided with a moment of mass anal penetration which had been arranged previously via Twitter.
Entirely too many handjobs in DC.
[re=510284]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: thank you for clearing that up. this politickal stuff leaves me confused. i’m a democrat and have no fucking idea how this game works. but i can field-strip an m-16, if that’s still worth anything in a pinch.
[re=510286]Mr Blifil[/re]: an anus doesn’t know when it is being penetrated ironically.
WHEN IS ROBERT GIBBS GOING TO BE IMPEACHED FOR WAR CRIMES????
I AM A HOMESCHOLER AND I THINK THIS MAN IS MEAN!!!!
Fox nation is NOT happy!11!
http://www.thefoxnation.com/politics/2010/02/09/gibbs-mocks-palins-hand-notes
[re=510214]blinky_twinkie[/re]: Something about that sounds really sexy. Oh, I thought you wrote “Rush Limbaugh eating out of Rahm Emanual’s hand.”
tHAT’S nOT fOLKSY!!1!
[re=510310]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: 57 states!
That was totally anti-semetic, somebody call the New Republic
Gibbs’ pimp-hand is strong.
“Many in the room, where President Barack Obama had spoken just moments before about the need for bipartisanship, groaned at the political shot.”
And were Sarah Palin an actual Republican office-holder, in a position to work with the president, instead of a private citizen giving a speech attacking the president at a political rally, that might mean something.
Dear Wonkatteers,
You are en fuego today. Between exploding whore diamonds, the pros and cons of reverse cowgirl, racists subway lines, and retarded homescholers… I don’t think I have laughed this hard since skoalrebel dipped for our pleasure.
Long live the snark.
Ehhh… a little on the nose. If he had done it subtly, and not overdone it, it would have been very funny.
What I’m saying is, he overplayed his hand. His hand. Hello? Is this thing on?
In my honky-tonkin’ days we would have called Palin a fist magnet. Her stupidity started this ruffle. Gibbs could have said they were cutting taxes on the rich and introducing tort reform and they still would have lambasted him.
At least he tried an attempt at humor, not unlike most of the comments here. What would be funny if someone put in a cricket soundtrack (or laugh track). Fucking retard groaning WH press corpse is the problem here.
After reading from his palm, he should have thrown a big wink, then left the room, end of presser!
Someone needs to show Sarah this and explain to her that THAT is satire.
Breitbart’s comments are priceless. THE LIEBRULS, THEIR ASKERRED OF SARAH, ALSO, TOO!
[re=510310]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: The first commenter on the Fox story called Gibbs a hoodlum. If he is a hoodlum then butterstick the panda is a giant grizzly bear with a taste for human blood.
HAW HAW, this almost makes me like that milquetoast motherfucker Gibbs. The AP can suck it also, those fucking whiners.
Considering that Trig could well stand for Trisomy-G, I stand in awe of Her Pure Evil. Her own children are cue-cards.
FOXnFIENDS: Sarha, how many words to you write on you hands?
Sarah: All of them.
[re=510223]Katydid[/re]: Katydon’t.
[re=510296]slappypaddy[/re]: Eat me.
[re=510244]Capitol Hillbilly[/re]: Mark Twain, of course. I could tell because it wsa clever and witty.
He also said, “Of course, truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” So, when you hear something that doesn’t make sense coming out of Palin’s mouth, you know it’s true she’s a retard.
“Aloha Mr. Hand”.
When will the White House end its despicable war on retards?
This schtick will be with us for awhile I bet. But who will put it to the best use? Gotta bet on the (R)s. They’ll wave it around as a badge of retarded honor, a sure thing in a retarded country.
[re=510436]Oldskool[/re]: By 2012, candidates are going to have to write loyalty oaths on their palms…
The White House press corps is just pissed because this hand-note thing is the big big big gag for the Correspondent’s Dinner and Gibbsie is stealin’ their gag.
Gag.
[re=510436]Oldskool[/re]:
Retarded honor is the bestest honor.
[re=510436]Oldskool[/re]: Yeah, they did a bang-up job with their Purple Heart band-aids to honor John Kerry the war hero, and the purple ink on their fingers in solidarity with the bush-sponsored election in Iraq. Good times!
[re=510441]Jim89048[/re]: Exactly. Fucking retards.
Senor Wences died so we could use our hands in more creative ways. T’sallright? All right!
Tomorrow we will hear Sarah explaining how Gibbs should resign after this stunt that was clearly meant to insult and degrade amputees. Then we will hear from a group of Republican amputees who say they applaud Sarah for taking up their cause.
Now we all know why Sarah said,”OK, the heels are on, the gloves are off.”
The AP is just mad ’cause they’d double-dare-dibbsed the hand-note gage for the next White House Correspondent’s Dinner.
[re=510439]desertwind[/re]: What, so Jay Leno will repeat the hand joke 6 times? There’s no amount of Gibbs’s thunder-stealin’ that can take the humor out of that.
[re=510212]Snarkalicious[/re]: Oh my god, so folksy, I fucking can’t stand it. It’s a folk-off. Gibbsy and Sarah. Aaaaand…Folk!
Is it okay for me to have a mancrush on Gibbs right about now?
This, from the country that produced Walter Cronkite, Eric Severeid and….. Mike Hambrick?
Personally, I think it`s hilarious … but politically, Gibbs just bought his boss a Family-Pak of shotgun mouthwash. Odd: parodying that fascistic warmongering snow-slut wasn`t funny at all when it was Olbermensch slopping lipstick on his hairy mitt – but this DID make me grin. Yeah, too bad that`s not actually his job.
Someone obviously told her to talk to the hand, that the hand cared (and might even talk back). So she did. She talked and talked and talked to the hand- but it refused to talk back! So then she thought “Hmm, maybe if I write down on it what I want it to say…”
Such inspiration is how statesmen (and stateswomen) are born.
Hoisted by her own retard.
[re=510370]imissopus[/re]: Exactly. It was a straight up editorial screed from a name-calling man who does not want anyone putting the brakes on his name calling. He was refreshingly honest. It was kind of startling on that point. It irked me that she didn’t get called on that lie itself. Define satire, St. Sarah. And by the way, “Calling a bunch of retards retards” is labelling. Just for the record. It’s in fact labeling squared.
[re=510277]forgracie[/re]: Endearing to the stoopid == remaining head of repub party == win.
Three words – “Hillbilly palm-pilot”
[re=510503]Rajul[/re]: I TOTALLY see what you did there. Good work.
