Oh so many things going on in the world right now. Big issues. Things that it would be wonderful to get the Obama administration to address.  Health Care Reform comes to mind. As does Iraq and Afghanistan, our deplorable record on human rights treaties, the skyrocketing unemployment rate, immigration reform, environmental standards, queer rights……

But what does the White House Press Corps want to know about? V.

Tommy Christopher: Robert, I have one question and one clarification. First, the new TV series on ABC, “V,” a lot of people are talking about how this show draws very strong –

Gibbs: I got to tell you – I’m going to start with this: I don’t want to give anybody the impression I have time to watch anything other than what most of you all do each night. So I can’t even tell you what that is or what it’s about. If that makes me fairly un-cool, I tend to watch more “SpongeBob” than “V.”

Tommy Christopher:There have been a lot of news stories about this –

Gibbs: Makes me a hit with one six-year-old, and that really is all that counts.

Tommy Christopher: You haven’t seen the news stories about how this show compares your administration to the alien invaders? (Laughter.) Seriously, really, you haven’t heard about it?

Q: He couldn’t admit it if he had. (Laughter.)

Gibbs: Because there’s a chip in the back of my head that requires me – (laughter) – I don’t mean to – I honestly – I got to tell you, I spend – I watch a little football on Saturday, a little football on Sunday, and a lot of news every other time.

Q: Get a life. (Laughter.)

Q: (Inaudible).

Gibbs: Pardon me?

Tommy Christopher: Fourteen million people watch it, and the show –

Gibbs: And clearly, me not being one of them. Again, I –

[Cross-talk.] (Laughter.)

Gibbs: Hold on. I’m not entirely sure who I’d check on since I don’t watch the show.

Tommy Christopher: Well, check with the President, see if he has a reaction –

Gibbs: I will assume that the President watches –

Tommy Christopher:– comparing him to a space alien.

Gibbs: What’s the – which would probably, like, be one of the least worst things he’s been called today.

Did you know that Obama is actually a reptilian alien with a fondness for live rodents? What? You haven’t seen V?  Because the alien invaders Obama Administration will soon (SPOILER ALERT) be swallowing gerbils whole!

Granted, one can hardly expect Mr. Gibbs to discuss events that have yet to transpire. Currently we have no proof of an executive fondness for live prey (tune in next week!).

Rather, we’ve witnessed Our Alien Overlord Anna President Obama flirting the media into submission.

Perhaps Mr. Gibbs would be willing to comment on the administration’s implicit promise to sleep with reporters who derail an entire press conference with pointless superficial drivel instead of actually, you know, reporting?

In the meantime, allow me to point out that the original V’s were Nazis. The current V’s are supposed to represent terrorists. That information was discovered through the magic of Google. Damn, I wish I was an investigative journalist!
