Robert Gibbs Asked About The White House Rodent: “It’s A Rat”

Yesterday the White House press corps cameras captured a rodent of some sort, scampering across steps just beneath the lectern where President Obama was speaking. The visual quickly made its way through the viral news cycle of the Internet, and was viewed by some as a perfect symbol: a rat scampering away during a speech on financial reform. During a lighter moment (of an otherwise contentious press briefing) White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about what kind of rodent it was, claiming “its a rat.”

Its not clear who, but one member of the press corps suggested to Gibbs that the animal was in fact a vole. A vole you ask? Gibbs answered that he wasn’t so sure, but he would have to go Google “vole.” Next up on Google trends…”White House Vole.”

While the rat is interesting, I find this more so:

Gibbs deflecting questions regarding Sestak bribe:

the Left is always brand-managing, always running psy-ops, and always calling cockroaches “hug-a-bugs” to make them more palatable. They use creative vocabulary for everything. Yesterday, when a rat darted in front of Obama at the White House during one of his professorial lecture sessions, the MSM reported it as “a small mammal” or “a small creature”. They refused to use the word rat.

Just as the Left refuses to call the reconquistas what they are: CRIMINALS.

They’re breaking immigration law.

People who break laws are criminals.

They are, thus, criminals.

Call a rat a rat, and never let the Left choose your vocabulary for you.

I sometimes use the Country Mouse/City Mouse metaphor, it’s obvious to which camp Gibbs belongs.
