I think it's great.
In 20 years I'm sure some prominent White House staffers will have tattoos and still be pierced.

[ThinkTavern]

So?

[BlackYowe]

So who cares?

[judiNJ]

I think he is cute and very funny! Who else would let himself be dumped into a tank of water?

[learntofly]

Agreed. If the public thinks an earring is in college is odd, they need to get a grip and check back into reality.

Gibbes is a great guy.

What a non-story!

[blaharumph]

phoo.

[We-Are-The-Ones]

He has become better looking with age.

He reminds me of actor Charles Haid (Renko) during Haid's Hill Street Blues Days.

Chr*st on a crutch! With all that's going on, this is news?

[djsmiami]

[crayola 08b]

[Leota2]

Don't you know? The world stopped the last eight years and we went back to the 50s.

[Diogenis]

The Press is becoming a "cheap tabloid"! Unfortunately, much of the American public love it.

[graceland9]

I KNEW I liked that guy!

[DrDemon]

The BEST Press Secretary I've ever known !

[brunob]

It's not the story itself as we all agree that nobody cares he may have worn earings, but the fact that Morning Joe is making a splash about it, is the item here.

[epiphany1234]

And when has Morning Joe broadcast anything RELEVANT??!
