Is Gibbs Really That Dumb

or is he just pretending? from his interview with the washington post:

Romano: Should you be taking on the Rush Limbaughs of the world from the podium?

Gibbs: I'm happy to begin to ignore questions that I don't want to answer. I'm not sure the press would think that's a good idea. . . . Look, inherent in my job is that I don't get to choose what questions I'm asked.

Does Gibbs really think that the interviewer was referring to the many "Rush Limbaughs" in the press asking him questions, or is he uncomfortable defending his practice of answering every question with an attack on Rush? Either way, I'm sure he has the president's complete confidence.
