#2 A pox on turd Gibbs and the boot licking press corps who permit him to get away with this type of behavior.

#3 Gibbs is no more than a lackey for this administration. He can use some lessons in etiquette.

Every time I see him at work, he reminds me of the "Piss Boy" from Mel Brooks 'History of the World, Part II'.

#5 I wonder how far "I paid taxes last year." will get me.

#6 CF, you are not part of the elite. Only they can say that.

#7 CF, I thought the elite DIDN'T pay taxes, at least not until caught when appointed to office.

#8 Mostly it's the liberal elite who don't have to pay their taxes, I believe.

#9 Alan,

The soap box is mostly missing due to the MSM. Acorn and illegals are working on taking the ballot box in 2012. That only leaves one box left...

#10 Here's my theory on WH press conferences, FWIW. First, tell them that the whole thing will be exactly 30 minutes long or whatever, and stick to it. After that, answer whatever questions come in the order they are presented. If the talking heads want to talk about Tiger Woods the whole time, let them. Answer away. If the talking heads want to ask the same question 15 different ways, let them. Answer away. Never play games, just answer the questions. Yes, no, don't know, no comment, an explanation, or whatever is most appropriate. Don't take anything personally. After a while, the talking heads will figure it out and use their time wisely. In this case it was a good question I think, because Obama is about as easy to pin down as a water-weenie. It would have been far less time-consuming and just about as informative to have just said "Yes" in this case, rather than to have said "Yes" using this more round-about approach.

#11 That being said, there is the idea that doing it his way at least Gibbs gets to keep his job. :-)

#12 Hellfish, 2010 comes first. I have become more and more concerned that the 3rd box may have to be opened yet.

The Tea Party philosophy of a more libertaraian, fiscally conservative, populist bent is the last hope. Yes I do know that there are contradictions within the elements of that list but those will get worked out. Basically it means get the gov't AND the pols. oligarch friends, be they from Wall St., Academia or the Labor bosses, out of our wallets and lives.
