joanwalsh: Wow, Gibbs really pulled together a circular firing squad? Some are saying I'm the "professional left?" I'm not, I'm a journalist. Ick.

joanwalsh: Really? I'm the professional left? And I want Canadian healthcare and to eliminate the Pentagon? Folks are cool with that redbaiting? Wow

22. He's not calling for Gibbs to be fired so maybe I won't.

RT @lemminglady But is calling for @PressSec's resignation on the agenda? // No! Where'd you get that idea? I like Gibbs a lot.
