18. Crabby go eat some crabs with your ignorant rants. Cheez - what fun is it in life when you even name your own self crabby. What a miserable old/young fool you must be. I feel sorry for you - someone give this guy a hug and let him know he is loved by all - please.

22. Come on people! You turn your cell phone off at the movie theater, don't you think a White House briefing would deserve the same? Gibbs was perfectly in his right to call-out these rude MF'ers.

23. I am glad he done this. Not just one phone rang but two. It seems to me that if you are going to be present at the daily briefing, the least you could do is have enough respect to turn the phone off/ or silenced atleast for the meeting! Phone calls during meetings are VERY disruptive and disrespectful to all those in attendance. Having it on then to answer just makes that person look like they think they are more important than what they actually are. Bravo! well done!

24. If I was press secretary I would have banned Bill Plante from the room for a week.

25. Good for him. I think it's so rude to be in a conversation with someone - their cell phone goes off and they expect the conversation to go on "hold" while they take their call! I'm glad he did that - we need to have more of that. Manners with phone use went out the window with cell phones.

26. About more than one person can have the same name?I can also hunt down the people causeing trouble online that have been useing my name and kill them also?Report them to the fbi,dea,and a few others.Tell jimmy carter and family F-U F-your family and F-your friends also.That goes for billy the booz hound clinton,who needs to grow up and act his age not I'Q.I forgot the two year olds of Washington DC never grow up.Its all about who they can steal from when there in office and the people of hollywood and the news media covering there rear ends.Think the people of china are a little mad that the people of up state NY figured out there trying to say there tax free american indians?Maybe thats why they started shooting them?Theres a comment don't like it go back to china then.Half of them are nothing but stalkers anyways.

27. Don't worry outlawing cell phones is next on Obama's list of taking more American freedoms away as fast as possible, of course for our own good because we are too stupid to do anything ourselves. And rudeness is a way of life in America now, no young people or middle aged for that matter have any manners. But our Governmnet is to the rescue again, they will force us to have manners , eat right, use less power, drive electric cars, pay more taxes, etc......... Obama to the rescue just sit around and wait for him.

28. Come on people... you can have your freaking cell phones... JUST PUT IT ON SILENT!!!!!
Especially during a TELEVISED WHITE HOUSE NEWS BRIEFING!!!
That's just rude when Gibbs is trying to answer serious questions!

29. Agreed that it is rude to yak constantly on the cell especially at a presidential event. Phone should have been taken away from the guy for the conference, but by security - not Gibbs. Sheesh ! Gibbs is really the most nasty, scowling, rude, sarcastic, confrontational press secretary I have witnessed since Nixon was president. Dont ask him anything of substance or he will react with hostility and sarcasm. If you cant take the heat Gibbs, get yo ass out of the presidential press office.

30. Anyone who attends federal government meetings know that we MUST turn OFF(no vibrate) cell phones even before the meeting starts, especially at that level, in most federal buildings you are not allowed to have your phone on. Employees can have their on vibrate in their offices. This reporter will have problems from his boss. Let's see how long before he is never in that room again and if he is, his questions would not be answered.
