Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Joins Twitter | Ew Why?

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs joins Twitter.
Ugh...why?

via politico

Gibbs, who's already following most of the White House press corps, offered up his first tweet Saturday afternoon: "Learning about "the twitter" - easing into this with first tweet - any tips?"
"You know," Gibbs added, "plus I’ve got all this free time on my hands!"
Being an official White House Twitter account, Gibbs' page notes that "comments & messages received through official WH pages are subject to the PRA and may be archived

He has free time? Then get off the clock! Why are our tax dollars being used to pay for your "free time"!
Gibbs is probably the most annoying person in the admin though that’s a tough call so let’s just say he is def in the running for first place! He reminds me of that obnoxious kid from high school that you wanted to get away from you! He is not only gross but he is rude too. You can always count on Gibbs for three things...first, you can count on Gibbs to be lying. I wonder if he knows how to tell the truth? Hmm...
Second, he won’t make sense. Some commentators like to say that he's unintelligent but I respectfully disagree. I think he is outsmarting everyone by sounding like a babbling idiot. He never answers any question and by the time he is finished, you're so exhausted and irritated by his ramble that you’d rather leave your question unanswered than have him go on for another second! Lastly, you can always count on Gibbs to be condescending! He has no respect for anyone. A press secretary is supposed to be the mouth piece of the administration; you want a friendly, intelligent, witty individual in that job. You want the American people to trust and respect that person as their word is very important. Gibbs is not that person!
I wrote more than I initially intended but that needed to be said...

Robert Gibbs Heated Exchange With Reporter April Ryan

Robert Gibbs, the White House Press Secretary, got into it yesterday with reporter April Ryans. April, a reporter with American Urban Radio, dared to question Gibbs about Social Secretary Desiree Rogers and the incident surrounding the state dinner. As the exchange progressed, Robert Gibbs had the nerve to compare her to his child who throws temper tantrums. He then recommended that she “calm down” and “take a deep breath”.(transcript of the whole exchange below the video)
The President excluded, the White House Press Secretary is the 2nd most visible person within an administration. Obama's Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, has been probably one of the worst in recent years. He is delusional, confused, clueless (or portrays as such), even worse, he tends to be very confrontational. He speaks as if he is above everyone. You may ask a totally reasonable question, instead of answering or declining to answer, he thinks he's on a comedy stage and it’s 'The Gibbs Show'.

APRIL RYAN: Did she invite herself to the state dinner or was she a guest of, did the President invite her, or did she put her name on, no, that's a real question, do not fan at all.

ROBERT GIBBS: I, I, Jonathan?

RYAN: I'm serious. No, seriously? Did she invite herself or did the President ask her. Her name was on that list and social secretaries are the ones who put the names on the list.

GIBBS: Right.

RYAN: Did she invite herself, or did the president--

GIBBS: Right, was she at the dinner? April, April, calm down. Just take a deep breath for one second. See,this happens with my son. He does the same thing.

[reporters in the briefing room: Oooooh!]

RYAN: Don't play with me!

GIBBS: I'm not.

RYAN: I'm being serious. Do not blow at all.

GIBBS: And I'm giving you a serious answer. Was she at the dinner? Yes.

RYAN: Was she an invited guest?

GIBBS: She's the social secretary. She had the primary responsibility--

RYAN: No, social secretaries are not guests of the dinner.
