Things have been getting a bit testy of late between White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and the press corps he deals with.
That testiness reached the boiling point yesterday, when I asked Gibbs about the controversial recess appointment of Donald Berwick to head Medicare and Medicaid services and how this represented a difference from the Bush Administration practices that President Obama’s top spokesman frequently refers to.
This led to a heated exchange between Gibbs and four White House correspondents —NBC’s Chuck Todd, CNS News’ Fred Lucas, Major Garrett of Fox News, and me—that could accurately be called a verbal shootout.
There’s more at Human Events.
