I didn't know Gibbs had a fan club here. As for those defining the "professional left" - we need further elaboration.

In my "professional" opinion, I would have to say that the professional left has been responsible for the vast majority of any real improvement in government policies over the last few decades. If by professional left we are referring to people on the left who earn money through a politically affilated position that happens to be on the left.

"*** Just a philosophical question for all those here that are outraged at Gibbs. Are YOU the PROFESSIONAL LEFT?

Do you make money from it? "

If professional left is determined by people making money due to liberal (left-leaning, left-field, what have you) policies then I'd have to say no, I'm not professional left. I'm unemployed at the moment. If you define professional left as those who do or may profit through liberal policies, then yes, I'm certainly professional left. Unfortunately we aren't really seeing liberal policies, are we? That said, I'd prefer Canadian style health care to ours. I honestly don't care what happens to the Pentagon, I don't consider it particularly useful though. If I was to compare Obama to Bush, the comparison would be only slightly in Obama's favor. Mostly due to the fact that he can speak without sounding like he never graduated the first grade.

So should I be drug tested? Let me know. Thanks.
