Gibbs: I'm a New Yorker Subscriber But I Struggle to Finish the Articles

January 20, 2014

MSNBC contributor Robert Gibbs acknowledged he's a New Yorker subscriber but often fails to get to the end of the articles Monday on Morning Joe.

The comment came when host Joe Scarborough asked for his comment on a long article by David Remnick on President Obama.

Full exchange:

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Can we do something first here now that we're back? I want to go to Robert Gibbs because how silly for us to be talking about Barack Obama and not bring in a guy that was there from the very beginning and worked with him in the administration. Have you read David's piece yet, Robert?

ROBERT GIBBS: I've read most of it. I'm a New Yorker subscriber and I always struggle to get to the very end, but, yes, I'm most of the way through.

SCARBOROUGH: I'm like you. Why doesn't New Yorker put out a Reader's Digest?
