Robert Gibbs, the former NC State soccer player who is President Obama’s press secretary, made an incredible statement at his press gaggle today. He was criticizing the few questionable signs at yesterday’s “Kill the Bill” rally at the Capitol:
Imagine just a few years ago had somebody walked around with images of Hitler.
My daughter helps to refresh Gibbs’ memory, which seems to have a huge gap that encompasses most of the Bush years. She also points to Gibbs’ totally classless performance earlier in the press briefing:
Before Gibbs took leave of his senses and all sense of history today, the White House had a more petulant response to the gathering, at which actor Jon Voight spoke. Yesterday, Gibbs very kindly stopped himself from making a “Deliverance” joke about the attendees. Considerate.
I would argue that the White House Press Secretary implying a joke about how protesters are rednecks prone to anal rape would fall into the category of “stunning” and “personally disagreeable,” but I digress.
I guess this is what they meant by “audacity.”
