Gibbs Confirms He Wore An Earring In College: "That Guy Looks A Lot More Relaxed"

During a press gaggle yesterday aboard Air Force One, Robert Gibbs came face-to-face with a photo of himself that recently surfaced, revealing President Obama's press secretary to be a former earring wearer.

MR. GIBBS: Great picture right there.

Q What's this --

MR. GIBBS: Well, that is -- Broughton High School is about -- is probably about a half a mile from where I went to college, NC State. That is a picture, I believe, provided, helpfully, from the NC State athletic department sports information director. It's an individual picture. When we took team pictures -- yes, that is an earring in my ear, yes. And did you notice that guy looks a lot more relaxed and a lot less stressed those days than he does now?
