“You could get on a conference call and maybe do some work.”
Seldom do we ex-debaters at The Mep Report get the chance to watch our political leaders, who tend to be woeful both in constructing arguments and refuting them, lay the smackdown on people who desperately deserve it. So it’s a breath of fresh air on the rare occasions when it happens.
Now this is Robert Gibbs, not Obama himself (though the President has indicated his own ability to lay down the hammer when necessary), and this response is much milder than questions of this level of idiocy demand. And calling anyone from Fox a “journalist”–especially incompetent hacks like Wendell Goler (who had the gall to get visibly annoyed at Gibbs’ response), who are pretty much the only kind of journalist Fox employs–is admittedly a big stretch. But we’ll take small victories when we can get them.
