They Set 'Em Up, He Knocks 'Em Down

Say what you will about Robert Gibbs, but he does come up with some good lines now and then. The last sentence is pretty good. Poor WB.

From Political Punch:

“You couldn’t sell this script in Hollywood,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters of the conspiracy theorists, called birthers.
“Tell me if you’ve heard one that’s this totally crazy,” Gibbs said. “A pregnant woman leaves her home to go overseas to have a child -- who there’s not a passport for -- so is in cahoots with someone…to smuggle that child, that previously doesn’t exist on a government roll somewhere back into the country and has the amazing foresight to place birth announcements in the Hawaii newspapers? All while this is transpiring in cahoots with those in the border, all so some kid named Barack Obama could run for President 46 and a half years later. You couldn’t sell that to the WB.”

Maybe Liftime would run it as a made-for-TV movie entitled "Mother, Can I Be the President?" (Pink Floyd reference!) I predict a multitude of violin medleys.

And I'm glad the White House press corps is getting to the bottom of this shallow kiddie pool of an issue....
