WH Press Secretary works to celebrate birthday

First published at WashingtonTimes.com

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs turned 38 on Sunday to little fanfare.

One of his deputies told me that Gibbs said "He worked for 10 hours to celebrate."

Since he's coming up on the big 4-0, let's hope there's a bit more of a party in 2011.

I asked Gibbs if President Obama presented him with cupcakes like he did for Vice President Biden's birthday last fall.

His response: "Don't I wish!"

Also worth noting, ABC spotted this Facebook group - "I knew Robert Gibbs back when" - made up of Gibbs' friends from his former, and less public lifestyle.

I hear you, Trinidad Girl. I like this guy too - he's working his keyster off.

Plus, I laughed at his decaf and windmill picture comments.

It's amazing how hard this administration is working to right all the wrongs of the previous administration.
