8. Better rethink that
Gibbs attacked US, not the other way around.

Expecting your base to play nice while you sell them out seems to be the neolib/DLC ideal of how things should be and when they're not, they attack.

Gibbs wouldn't have been in hot water had he attacked the real problem, a political party engaged in trying to shut government down to score political points in an election season by painting the opposition in power as ineffective. Gibbs was wildly off target and he was so in an insulting manner.

Face it, insulting a large part of your party's base in an election year is not the action of a smart man who wants his party to stay in power.

He needs a permanent vacation.
