Professional Left

Gibbs Professional Left Comments

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to take back his harsh words for what he called the "professional left," the liberal critics who think that President Barack Obama has sold out his ideals in order to make deals. The press secretary denies rumors he is quitting after losing his cool. At today's White House press briefing, Gibbs opened his mouth to prove, he said, that his foot was not inside when he made controversial comments to The Hill newspaper on Tuesday. "I have both my feet firmly planted on the floor and nothing in my mouth, to speak of," Gibbs said.

Steven Slater Shirts

Jet Blue Flight Attendant:  Steven Slater is My  Hero Shirt

The JetBlue flight attendant who Freaked! Out! already has some 137,078 backers on Facebook. 

The page, which sprouted up in the aftermath of Slater's epic tantrum late Monday, includes a fake bio (Interests: Making an Exit!) and posts links to Slater-related content around the Web, including stories, T-shirts, and a call from the New York Times to submit your best rage-induced freak-outs.

But most promising for Slater's growing brood of e-acolytes? A hint that there will be a fund for the newly-fired (and freshly-charged) former flight attendant. While NewsFeed questions whether there aren't more worthy causes, the effort shows that Slater's unique flip-out struck a nerve with frustrated flyers the world over.
