White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs had some fun with Fox News senior White House correspondent Major Garrett this afternoon after Garrett repeated a question that, according to Gibbs, had been answered just an hour earlier via e-mail.When Garrett asked Gibbs to square the discrepancy between President Obama’s proposed three-year federal budget freeze and his comments as a presidential candidate in 2008 that such a move would be irresponsible, Gibbs said, “Can I report to you what I e-mailed you when you asked me this question about an hour ago? I understand. I’m trying in a desperate attempt to corrupt all attempts to use the video of a question that you and I e-mailed about not long before I made my on-camera appearance.”
