Robert Gibbs Gets His Butt Kicked by Media on His Way Out
“’The best service I can provide this president is, for the next couple of years, outside this building,’ said Gibbs, who announced Wednesday that he would leave his press secretary job in early February. He will then hit the lucrative speaking circuit and become a paid consultant to the Obama reelection campaign.”
— And that’s just the beginning of this incredibly brutal farewell to press secretary Robert Gibbs. For instance: “’He’s had a six-year stretch now where basically he’s been going 24/7 with relatively modest pay,’ Obama said Wednesday in an interview with the New York Times. Gibbs’s White House salary is $172,200 a year.” Mrow!
