WH Press Secretary Gibbs Sets New Record for Stuttering As He Spins Answer on Geithner

Does the White House Press Secretary need a teleprompter too?

Watch as Robert Gibbs sets a new Obama Administration record (and that's saying something) for the most "uh"s and "um"s in a single sentence as he struggles to find the right spin to explain why Treasury Secretary knew all about the AIG bonuses a week before telling us this week that he was just as surprised as the rest of us (full story with video at Hot Air)....


Gibbs makes Scott McClellan, who held the job for a time during the Bush years, look downright competent by comparison. In fact, everything about the bumbling, incompetent Obama Administration makes Bush look better by comparison.

Remember that these are the guys making jokes about the Special Olympics!

To all you hopey-changey Kool Aid drinkers out there, just remember we warned you that change isn't always a good thing!
