Robert Gibbs’ First Press Briefing Involves Every Reporter Shouting His Name, Simultaneously

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Here’s a comical highlight reel of new White House press secretary Robert Gibbs’ first briefing, compiled by Fishbowl DC. The White House press corps, perhaps the most frustrated group of reporters, anywhere, only get a “virgin” every few years, so they were hoping to extract as much off-the-cuff, out-of-context quote action as possible before Gibbs realized how much they all sucked and that he should ignore them entirely, forever. This only led to an onslaught of white noise, however, and we do not know why anyone would ever accept the position of White House press secretary. Speaking of which, what’s Dana up to these days?
