Gibbs is a piece of work, idn't 'e? Kudo's to the off-screen AP guy, who Gibbs is desperately trying to get to, to avoid more Helen exposure: "I think I'll wait until Helen is done".

Six months. Apparently the bloom is off the rose. They got him elected, and are now wondering about the "news" being handed to them. This failure to adequately kowtow to the media (IMO) is a tactical admin error. The admin needs the continued support of television media for at least the rest of this year. After that, the wheels will already be rolling on the programs, and the press can be sidelined as 'nattering nabobs of negativity', as all admins in the past have.

I predict Gibbs gets promoted out of the position. By Labor Day. And by this time next year, journalists, if there are any left in the country, will begin looking at details, instead of entertainment value. Finally.
