Barack Obama Hired A Nobody As Spokesman

They're Thinking They Can Jew Us On This One*

This is a lie, and (as usual) the Obama administration really thinks we're stupid:

Helen Thomas did not "apologize" - she issued a statement of regret - which isn't the same thing. An apology is saying, "I'm sincerely sorry to everyone I've hurt, when I said that terrible thing I'll never, ever say again, and I ask that, please, somehow, you can find it in your hearts to forgive me."

A statement of regret means you wish you hadn't gotten caught.

I've told you before - liberals don't apologize - they just claim to, or look for another option to doing so,...like trying to play us for fools.

But there is no other option. I know an apology when I receive one. It's easy to forgive someone who admits they did wrong and needs our forgiveness. It starts to become impossible when the original wrong is compounded by the transgressor, and her supporters, by trying to play us for idiots - which is exactly what's happening here.

It's funny that none of those wise, and supposedly-better-educated, journalists in the White House Press Corpse seems to understand this.

That said, Robert Gibbs, too, needs to hit the "reset" button.

Helen Thomas has to go.

*This title is a joke.

UPDATE: Drudge is reporting that Helen Thomas is retiring. See? No apology!

This Man Is An Idiot

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I beseech you,....

Finally: Reporters Are Laughing At The Lies

Step Two: They wake up, get pissed, and say, "Wait a minute - we elected you jokers!"

Why Is This Idiot Smiling? (He's Fooling You)

"I cannot recall an instance like this where the President's official spokesman has blasted the press of a key ally - in this case America's closest friend, Great Britain.

This kind of attack would normally be made against the likes of the North Korean or Iranian state media, but in the current climate of 'engagement' with America's enemies the White House is far more likely to attack its own allies. Gibbs' remarks have echoes of a senior State Department official's anti-British statements to The Sunday Telegraph after the appalling handling of the Prime Minister's visit in March.

The British press, especially the Telegraph, has been singled out because they frequently publish articles critical of the Obama administration and are not afraid to take on the status quo in Washington. Increasingly, millions of Americans are turning to online UK news websites for cutting edge reports on American politics and U.S. foreign policy that the mainstream media refuses to cover in the States, especially if it is unflattering to the Obama White House.

Robert Gibbs' completely unwarranted rant against the British press is an absolute disgrace, and the President should disown his views. An unreserved apology by Gibbs is also in order.

For all its talk of 'raising America's standing' in the world after the Bush years, the Obama administration is doing a spectacularly bad job of reaching out to its allies. Unfortunately this is the new face of America's public diplomacy, which will only serve to alienate public opinion across the Atlantic. Congratulations Gibbs - you've just made an enemy out of the entire British media, quite an achievement for the man in charge of selling the President's message."

Sorry But Here It Is Again: Liberals Are Idiots

The Macho Response: Bill Plante Of ABC News

"Gibbs wants to take my phone but I don't think it's a good idea."

Serious Reflection? Why Was Obama Laughing?

Not Enough "Change" To "Make A Difference"

"Robert Gibbs gave White House reporters a 'strong A' Friday for their work over the first 100 days of the new administration. "

-- Michael Calderone, on how happy this White House is with the editorial positions we've been witnessing lately, according to Politico.com.

"U.S. newspapers are losing circulation faster than ever,..."

-- Michael Liedtke, on how happy America is with the editorial positions we've been witnessing lately - well, everywhere but at the (ahem: conservative) Wall Street Journal - according to Yahoo! Finance.

Remember that old saying, "You couldn't do the right thing to save your life"? This is a perfect example of it at work,...
