Worst Press Secretary Ever – Robert Gibbs 20 minutes late to Friday’s press briefing

As the daily press briefing began this on Friday at 2:07pm EST, several members of the White House press corps spoke up to press secretary Robert Gibbs about his tardiness according to TV Newser:

FishbowlDC reports that the briefing began about 20 minutes after the two minute warning was given and that ABC’s Jake Tapper “had taken charge with two visits to the Lower Press office to complain during the long wait.”

By the time Gibbs arrived, members of the press corps could be heard complaining saying things like, “it irritates everybody here.”

We hear the late briefings are a pattern, and that it was not an issue during the Bush administration.
