Gibbs Mocks Palin, Reads Grocery List Off His Hand

Posted: Feb 10, 2010

In a dig at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took time during Tuesday's briefing to read a mock grocery list that he had written in pen on his left hand.

"Eggs, milk and bread," Gibbs read from the black ink stains on his palm, claiming he was going to "make pancakes" for his son Ethan.

"I crossed out bread," he added, pointing to the line that, indeed, x-ed bread off the list.
"I also wrote down hope and change just in case I forgot that word."

The obvious dig at Palin drew giggles form the press corp. The former vice presidential candidate turned darling of the far right has been getting ribbed for writing crib notes on her left hand before a question and answer session at the Tea Party convention on Saturday night.

Gibbs's comedy act was not entirely original, however. Huffington Post senior congressional correspondent Ryan Grim did his own "grocery-list-on-my-palm" routine on MSNBC the day before.

For her part, Palin poked a little fun at herself during an appearance on Sunday, writing "Hi Mom" on her palm.

I wonder how that inky-handy thing is working for Palin.

Hey, are we sure that it wasn't Tina at the tp convention?

I believe it is working out just fine - LOL

I do notice that the O administration, lamestream media, and looney left are making complete fools out of themselves.

Maybe Gibbs should try it himself. The man can - barely speak a complete sentence.nm

He maintains good control of himself and of the room. He is casual and laid back, but by no means is he incompetent. He served as the communications director for 4 previous US Senators, for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and was press secretary for John Kerry, all before his 40th birthday.

You are just in a tizzy because he had the unadulterated gall to mock Caribou Barbie.

He IS incompetent. Many of O's appointees are.nm - mtt22

Just curious. While you're at it, define competence and give examples.

[ In Reply To ..]
I think it was too large a coalition, and it attracted too many nutcases for anyone to take the tp seriously.

That, sadly, has been the case for most 3rd party attempts here in the US.

Well, we need REAL hope and change, so I am willing - to try them.. give O the boot.nm

do is go back to bashing Palin or Bush, Bush or Palin. Find a new line. Obama, Gibbs, and all the lousy policies are failures. Whatever you think of SP or Bush has NOTHING to do with those incompetents.

The original post was about mocking SP. Always down for that. - Shes so mockable. nm

Mocking speech impediments is no different than mocking disabled or retarded people. It's cruel and downright ugly.

James Earl Jones, Julia Roberts, Anthony Quinn, Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Willis, Joe Biden, Winston Churchill, Claudius, Tiger Woods, Lewis Carroll, Henry James, King George VI, Sir Isaac Newton, Aristotle, Charles Darwin, Moses.

Guess what these folks all have in common?

NO. He stutters and stammers because he does - NOT have the answers. Then, he

thinks he is funny, but only looks like a child. Gibbs is an embarrassment.

Rasberries. UR just ticked off cuz he got chuckles - while mocking the tpot tempest.

[ In Reply To ..]
Like I said, you just don't like his answers. They send you into a shouting/capitalizing buzzword-hurling frenzy. Now who's being childish?

SP takes selective partisan issue with the use of the word retard but, of course, does not hold her fellow wingnuts accountable to the same standard and fails to defend her handicapped child unless it helps score political points.

Others who have brilliant and gifted children who stutter take issue with this tpot tactic when trying to make political hay by using it as an insult. They reduce themselves to the level of a common bully when going on and on about this and only end up showing how very deficient their issues platform really is.

I have been calling Gibbs unqualified and incompetent - well before the Palin thing.

[ In Reply To ..]
Couldn't care less about what he says about Palin, not a bit. You are taking the whole stuttering thing to extremes. Stutter, stammer, look like a deer in headlights, sidetrack, avoid, change the subject. He has all kinds of tactics, but most intelligent people realize he has not a clue.

Making fun of stuttering is a childish bully tactic just like - name calling and telling fibs...

[ In Reply To ..]
to support their side of the story. Slamming someone when they don't agree with you is no better.

Palin is a one-woman disaster area who puts herself in the spotlight and deserves all the mocking she gets plus being American's #1 butt of jokes. You cannot deny the hypocrisy over her phoney outrage with the retard incident. She does not hesitate to use her family, including her handicapped child, to score political points.

Because you cannot deny this, you choose instead to call the observation extreme and refuse to comment. Sometimes no comment is all the answer anyone needs to get the message.

You should practice what you preach - Read your posts

Mocking disabilities is what schoolyard bullies do. - Saying so isnt a threat, its a fact.

I'll take the bleeding hearts liberal comment as a compliment.

You dont get it... they were letting you know that - YOU yourself talk like a bully.

I believe they were speaking of Gibbs stuttering not in a literal sense, and you know it too. You are using that as an excuse to call someone a meany. It isnt fooling me. I doubt it fools most.

Actually, it was literal, and repetitively so. Meany? Where? - Im from Missouri. Show me.

My list was selective of people with stuttering problems who have proven to be gifted with talent. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think we best leave the characters with elementary school age appeal to the tpots. That's just about all they are equipped to handle.

A quote from the guy who used his maid to get illegal drugs:

"Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too."

He's a racist, sexist, homophobic hypocrite. And that would make his listeners...more of the same?

He tells it like it is. ...and I doubt he cares what you think - since you are too biased to open your mind.nm

By Stephen C.
