Maybe Robert Gibbs needs a vacation, or at the very least, a nap. Here he is unloading on Fox’s Wendell Goler and Fox News in general:

Q On the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Florida Senator Nelson, who is one of the people sponsoring the legislation that would raise the economic damages to $10 billion, also says that the President’s hopes for expanding offshore oil drilling are dead on arrival. Is the briefing today — I think it’s going on now –
MR. GIBBS: I think there’s — I believe there is with Secretary Salazar –
Q And a host of other officials.
MR. GIBBS: Yes.
Q Is that intended to maybe facilitate the passage of this legislation, to deal with some of the concerns that the spill has on people who might have been prepared to support the President?
MR. GIBBS: No, this is a bipartisan, bicameral briefing on the federal response thus far, as you mentioned, on the BP oil spill, the actions that we’ve taken to date. Wendell, the President has asked for Secretary Salazar, as head of the Department of Interior and has purview over drilling issues, to investigate what happened with this incident and to report back to him in 30 days. And what we have said is that the President would use all of that information to make decisions going forward on our offshore policy.
Q As for critics who are calling this your Katrina, is there — President Obama’s Katrina –
MR. GIBBS: Can I say this — I watched FOX yesterday.
Q I really didn’t want you to go there. (Laughter.)
MR. GIBBS: But you sort of — you opened both the double doors and voila, here I am. (Laughter.)
Q But it wasn’t just FOX calling this your Katrina.
MR. GIBBS: No, no, but FOX had the very special and unique interview with Michael Brown — you opened it and I had to do it — who for those who weren’t let in on the big secret, Mr. Brown, FEMA Director Brown under Katrina, intimated on FOX, and it wasn’t — I will editorially say, didn’t appear to be pushed back on real hard — that this spill was leaked on purpose in order for us to walk back our environmental and drilling decisions, and that the leak that we did on purpose got out of control and now is too big to contain.
So suffice to say, Wendell –
Q What is his attribution? What is his — Mr. Brown’s attribution?
MR. GIBBS: I can only wish that the network that you work for had asked that prior to interviewing him yesterday.
Q But reporters in here asked that.
MR. GIBBS: Well, you should –
Q So I’m asking you –
MR. GIBBS: You should call headquarters, my friend, and –
Q I’m asking you –
MR. GIBBS: — ask for somebody who makes the decisions to put people like that — because I got to tell you, Wendell, I’m not entirely sure that a factual answer that I might give to any one of your questions is going to change the notion that your network put out the former FEMA director to make an accusation that the well had been purposely set off in order to change an offshore drilling decision.
Q Nor would that affect the reporting I do.
MR. GIBBS: I didn’t intimate that it did. Again, I would — you and Major should –
Q If we can, let’s move on from it.
MR. GIBBS: You could get on a conference call and maybe do some work. Go ahead.

Even the New York Times editors said the Obama administration acted slowly (which I didn’t agree with). How thin-skinned are these guys?
