White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs gets destroyed by Chip Reid of CBS and Helen Thomas of Hearst News Service about the faux transparency of the govt. He should get fired for his poor smirky response.

(via AdamO’s Google Shared : Inquisitor)

Can you imagine the chaos of a truly open forum? Where anyone can walk off the street and ask any question? I’d pay to see that! “Mr. President, when are you going to announce the presence of UFOs at Area 51?”

Well wait, did people have to submit questions for the town halls during the campaign? The thing he’s best at is handling himself in front of a crowd..

Why on earth would Gibbs be fired for his performance?  That seemed like pretty standard fare from a White House press secretary.  Whether the administration was right or wrong, he didn’t really have much to say on the topic, beyond the obvious, and just humored the press until he could get past it.

The press was just doing their job as well.  And I’m glad they did.  Hopefully, they’ll keep doing it.  Mostly importantly, we’ll keep posting videos of them actually doing their job.  This is how it’s supposed to work.
