Gibbs Punts License Plate Question at Briefing

2008_0220_gibbs.jpgAt Robert Gibbs's daily White House Press Briefing just a little while ago, Washington Post reporter Michael Shear lobbed two questions at the press secretary: one about whether President Obama would keep his promise to give a speech in a Muslim nation within his first 100 days in office, and the other about whether the president would place the "Taxation Without Representation" license plates on his limousine. Gibbs's response? "I confess I don't have the slightest idea what the license plates on the limousine say now, but I can certainly check on that." He then went on to also not answer the first question, telling Shear he couldn't get into the details of those plans, other than to say that the administration is moving forward on such a speech.

glad to see the who was right.

meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

I'm all for statehood and voting rights, but can we pah-leeeeeze forget about what type of license plates Obama's limo has??! Lordy LORD!

I'll 3rd that and the man suing the pants off DC.
Besides, aren't we voting on the dang thing next week anyways. Then we can talk about Chandra Levy again.

New plates aren't necessary, so why waste time changing the plates? Besides, you don't have to change the plates in DC, only the sticker -- and it's good for 2 years! Maybe it's not time to fork over a registration fee to the DC DMV.
