Thank You, Helen Thomas & Chip Reid, for Showing the White House Court Jester ("Bobby G") What 'Open' and 'Transparent' Hypocrisy Looks Like!

It took the Grand Dame of White House correspondents, Helen Thomas, led off by CBS's Chip Reid, to converge on Mr. Robert Gibbs, Obama's White House press secretary, and challenge him about the public relations charade that the administration has been putting on since its inception--particularly in its artificially constructed, pre-programmed and micro-managed "townhall meetings"--to bolster its specious claim that it is "open" and "transparent" in its executive functions as pertaining to public policy and affairs of state.

Newsbusters had this to say about their cordial yet terse exchange. (The article includes a transcript of the dialogue between Thomas and Gibbs.)

Following this exchange, Ms. Thomas was also quoted as saying that not even Nixon tried to control the press as much as Obama!

Mr. Gibbs's adeptness as an artful Master of Deflection shows why he was selected to be the administration's "Dorquemada" at these White House Inquisitions!
