The Worst Press Secretary Ever?

C
hristina Bellantoni, the WashTimes White House correspondent (Twitter tag: @cbellantoni), was not too impressed with today’s press briefing by Robert “Jive Talkin’” Gibbs, tweeting these two tweets from today’s press confab:
In re Gibbs teasing about Obama press conference, April Ryan: “Stop being flip”
Gibbs: “I’m all Russia’d out” after answering several questions on Russia
Maybe Gibbs was catching her tweets, since she followed up with:
Briefing now over. Realized Gibbs called on every person in first three rows except me and one other guy.
More on April Ryan from Michelle Malkin, who was tweeting on the briefing too:
And, most notably, he managed to irk one of the Obamedia’s biggest cheerleaders, journalist April Ryan, who asked a few questions about America’s reliance on foreign governments buying up our debt and whether there would be any “news” coming out of tomorrow’s presidential press conference.
When Gibbs tried to snark his way out of one of her questions, Ryan retorted: “Stop being flip!”
When he chuckled through her follow ups, she complained: “I’m serious.”
Too bad they weren’t more serious before Obama took office.
So is Gibbs the worst presidential press secretary ever? Paraphrasing Gibbs, “Well … um … ah … um … maybe … um … just … ah … maybe.”

That’s a GOOD thing. isn’t it? Or, put another way, why should he be any different than the rest of His Oneship’s administration?

We’ve been discussing “Giggles” Gibbs for awhile now, describing him back on 03/06/2009 as “… the most unprofessional excuse for a press secretary in the history of the job …”.
Looks like “Giggles” is wearing thin on even the annointed Kool-Aid drinkers.
