Al Neuharth's Pearls Before Swine


USA Today founder Al Neuharth serves up a few gems for Obama's smug press czar (above right) sporting his usual shit-eating grin:
  • Obama's press spokesman Robert Gibbs is intelligent, but he lacks any press experience and it shows.
  • Every president needs a press secretary who is adept not only at answering questions but also at anticipating them. Obama suffers because Gibbs is better at dealing with politicians than he is with the press.

  1. from some of the things he has written in USAToday, he is so far to the left, and what I would call a radical kool-aid drinker but on this one I agree with him, gibbs is best at stonewalling, spin, and covering up for obama and this administration and the press let's him get away with it, thats what he should be writing about, gibbs knows he can say what he wants and thats why he does it.

  3. If you have Gibbs as your press secretary you suddenly look good.
