Bush: It reads like a mystery

[TrogL]

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,127097,00.html

"It reads like a mystery, a novel. It's well written," Bush told The Associated Press in a brief interview just outside his home in Crawford. Asked what he was gleaning from the report, he said, "I'm gleaning that was a well-thought-out plot by the enemy."

Dude, it's not fiction. Get over it.

[DinahMoeHum]

1. Read? I didn't know he could read.

:evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

36. Commission Reports on Tape...

It's the only way he could get through it.

[DinahMoeHum]

39. I didn't know he could listen, either.

:evilgrin:

[JerseygirlCT]

54. LOL!! So long as they talk r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w...

[lottie244]

50. Someone else said this and Bush is using his words.

I heard it the first day the Report was released...some TV pundit.

[Cronus Protagonist]

63. If he had only read this in 8/6/2001, 30,000+ people might still be alive

[RFKHumphreyObama]

64. Considering how hard he worked to prevent the establishment of the inquiry

I wonder what his intentions are with this statement -is he trying to play down it's significance?

[Dulcinea]

67. How would he know? Is someone reading it to him?

He's too lazy (or illiterate) to even read the newspaper, most of which are geared to a 6th-grade reading level!

[thebigidea]

2. The mystery is why people ever believed you, ya monkeyfaced creep

Yeah right. Like Bush ever read a novel.

And why is Bush just getting around to pretending to read it now? Shouldn't he have done that weeks/months ago when the WH was "vetting" it?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

3. "I'm gleaning that was a well-thought-out plot by the enemy."

It takes him three years to work this out?! Three years?! :eyes:

[Stephanie]

4. If he really claims to be reading the Report

Then he must be questioned about it in detail. This is the first instance I can recall of bush claiming to have actually read anything. Call him out on it! Pop quiz!

[bif]

24. Remember when he was reading "John Adams"?

When asked about it he summed it up by saying, "It's a good book." That was it. A good book? Wow, what a great mind!

[mantis49]

47. The best quote I got from "John Adams"

is "Great is the guilt of an unnecessary war." From a letter he wrote to Abigail. Apparently * missed the significance of that idea!

[LiberalFighter]

60. Good book???

Geesh

I thought it was a report by the Commission

[MrBenchley]

5. If the clueless fuck had read the August 2001 memo about Osama

maybe it wouldn't....

[XNASA]

6. "Gleaning"?????????

There's a word I never thought I'd hear from w*. Next thing you know, he'll start using the word, "cull".

Besides, it's too late to start 'gleaning'. He should have been gleaning in the Summer of '01, instead of vacationing.

[displacedtexan]

26. The reporter used 'gleaning' in the question...

besides, 'gleaning' means to pore over the nasty bits left over and pick out the last remaining teeny weeny usable bits.

George W. is an idiot who doesn't have the slightest idea what that word means!

[Eurobabe]

30. BAWK!

said the parrot!

GWFucknut had no idea what the word 'gleaning' meant in that context.

[fob]

33. Are you sure he wasn't reviewing "Gleaming the Cube"?

[lovedems]

7. Reads like a novel? I am sure the families love that.

Geesh George, 3,000 people REALLY DIED that day!

They are warning of more terror attacks and where is the boy wonder? In Crawford, on vacation. It is like Deja-vu.

[yellowcanine]

8. How the cheney would Bush know what is "well written"? By his own

admission, he hardly reads. If it is well written, someone else must have told him. I would wager that he hasn't read more than the Executive Summary, if that.

[wickerwoman]

66. This is exactly what my students say when they haven't done the homework.

2:1 he hasn't read a word of it.

[central scrutinizer]

9. "It was a dark and stormy night..."

Maybe we should submit it to:

http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/

my favorite:

As he pressed his heaving, moist, ineffable manhood closer to her trembling porcelain bosom, Reginal Pompilious-Pomfret, Duke of Sufferingdale, wondered, not for the first time, whether this Lady Ashdown might not, in fact, be his sister, and resolved to confront mater about the subject directly he finished slaking his Jovian lust upon her ladyship.

[LiberalFighter]

61. Take the cover off of the report and use it for that book

And then give it to gw* to see what his response will be. Bet doesn't even get to the first page.

[democraticinsurgent]

10. File under fiction indeed

Sorry, but it IS fiction. They're almost admitting it. Another example. Lehman said in an NPR interview last week that they've "figured the story out". I know what he meant, that they think they understand the way 9-11 happened, but the real truth is this: they filled in some gaps to make the cavemean conspiracy sound more plausible.

Fiction it is.

[aden_nak]

11. What mystery?

There is seriously nothing in that report that I couldn't have written down for him in March.

MARCH 2003!

[cthrumatrix]

15. he was talking about the "goat book"....that's his mystery

[JerseygirlCT]

55. That's why he sat there so long---

he needed to see how the book ended!

[Onlooker]

12. Did he really say that?

That's incredible. The comannder-in-chief reads a report about the event over which he started two wars and says it reads like a novel? His thought process is novel and his legitimacy is fiction.

[belle]

43. There is something seriously wrong with him.

[myrna minx]

13. W is for Warmongering Wanker: the new Sue Grafton book. n/t

[ze_dscherman]

14. Steve Bell's cartoon

[Screaming Lord Byron]

16. I suspect that for George, many things read like a mystery.

[Fridays Child]

17. What's chimpy talking about? His military service records?

[Parche]

18. bush

Maybe Laura will read it to you

[ixion]

19. Bush, giving aid and comfort to the enemy...

just to use their own talking points...

"I'm gleaning that was a well-thought-out plot by the enemy."

Gee, if I didn't know better, I'd say that Chimpy was paying a compliment to Al Queda.

If this had been said by a dem, repukes would be all over it. Think Bill Maher.

Bill Maher was shown the door for simply saying that the individuals weren't 'cowards'. In this case, Chimpy just said that they were intelligent. Isn't this the same type of thing?

Also, who is this illiterate creep to say that anything is 'well written'? Chimpy wouldn't know good writing if it came up and bit him in the butt, IMO.

[classof56]

20. Maybe for his next mystery reading adventure he could consider:

The Constitution of the United States of America! Glean that plot, Bushie!!

Bush Must GO!!!

[KittyWampus]

21. BUSH COMPARES 9/11 TO MISS MARPLE

that's what the headline should say...

[ashling]

32. And it would . . .

. . . if it were about a Democrat.

[Sabriel]

22. This from a person who thinks Bazooka Joe is classical lit

Bush making a critical analysis of any kind of literature is like me commenting intelligently on the physics of aerodynamics.

How much lower can this Cheneyhead sink? As Beneatha says in "A Raisin in the Sun, "Oh God! Where is the bottom! Where is the real honest-to-God bottom so he can’t go any further."

[VolcanoJen]

23. MEMO TO CNN: THIS IS WHAT A "GAFFE" LOOKS LIKE.

Need further explanation?

When the President of the United States, upon whose watch the tragedy of September 11 occurred, refers to the 9/11 Commission Report as "A mystery; a novel," well, that's a gaffe. A big, fat, hairy, embarrassing gaffe.

It's more of a gaffe than Kerry in a safe suit, more of a gaffe than Teresa saying "shove it," more of a gaffe than a spririted "Yeeeeaaaw!" from Howard Dean.

Go back to journalism school for some remedial courses, you fools at CNN, who have yet to really discuss this embarrassing comment from the Commander-in-Chief.

[nickn777]

25. Just can't believe....

That this stupid f**k is tied with Kerry in the polls....

[Lisa]

27. Wanna find out how it ends, Dubya?

There's a sequel, you know. The imposter "President" is confronted by the voters, and carted off to stand trial.

[VolcanoJen]

28. Kick!!

:dem: :dem: :dem:

[Zorra]

29. A mystery? Bu$h should read "The Brethren" by John Grisham.

Included in the novel is a part about how the NSA deliberately conspired to allow a terrorist attack to occur in order to scare the American people and make the NSA's chosen Presidential candidate popular, so that they could assume control of the country and bolster defense industry profits.

Sometimes "truth" is far more fictional than "fiction."

Written before 9/11, too.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

51. Sometimes "truth" is far more fictional than "fiction."

Ain't it the "truth"?

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/northwoods.html
>>According to secret and long-hidden documents obtained for Body of Secrets, the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up and approved plans for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. In the name of antiCommunism, they proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba.<<

[AlFrankenFan]

31. If I was in the same room

you'd have to sedate me to supress my urge to kick him in the nuts.

[Norton]

34. Everybody chill...

It turns out that Bush was actually talking about the preparation instructions on his oatmeal box.

[AlFrankenFan]

52. LOL!

Thanks for making it a lighter subject because it is deeply disturbing he isn't taking it as seriously as he should :hi:

[Divernan]

53. But small targets can be difficult to hit.

nt

[MallRat]

35. This is utterly insulting to the memory of those who died.

It reads like a mystery?

It reads like a mystery???

IT READS LIKE A FUCKING MYSTERY?!?!?!

[belle]

44. Yes, and that was one terrible pilot. He used to fly himself, you know.

[killbotfactory]

37. "As in, why the hell wasn't I impeached? I mean... I was asleep at the.."

"wheel here, talking about some missle defense thing-a-majig, taking vacations one after another, ignoring reports on terrorism. Boy I'm a fuck up. Thank Jesus for a republican controlled congress. Yeehaw."

[truthisfreedom]

38. but.. is it about a goat? and did you read it right-side-up mr. prezdunt?

idiot.

[Disturbed]

40. I cringe.

Everytime I am confronted with the fact that this shallow, ignorant jerk is actually considered the Pres. of the USA. Of course, I know that Cheney is the real Pres. and that is a depressing and scary fact.

[HarveyBriggs]

41. 9/11 is still a mystery to W, huh? Not surprised.

Most aspects of everyday life for regular folks is a mystery to George.

Harvey Briggs

[Th1onein]

42. "A well-thought-out plot" alright!

By you and your neocons, you war criminal! You lying weasel piece of shit!

[Rex]

45. Lies on so many levels - here is what he really meant.

"It reads like a mystery" - translation - "It's a mystery that no one will solve because I'm the real suspect."

"A novel" - translation - "Worthless crap."

"It's well written" - translation - "I can't read."

"I'm gleaning" - translation - "what-you-just-said back at ya."

"That was a well-thought-out plot by the enemy." - translation - "I'm to much of a maniacal, egotistical asshole to criticize my friends or myself."

[0007]

46. junior is no mystery to us!

junior collected laboriously and a little at a time the well-thought-out plot by the enemy and determined it reads like a bloody mystery? Give me a fucking break!!

[mark414]

48. does he even know what gleaning means?

"Asked what he was gleaning from the report, he said, "I'm gleaning that was a well-thought-out plot by the enemy."

the dumbass probably just repeated what he was asked

[CO Liberal]

49. What - Dubya's National Guard Records???

:-)

[struggle4progress]

56. "How come didn't nobody stop 'em, Uncle Dicky?"

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

57. From the same Chimp who also brought you...

"...It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it..."- May 5, 2000

[InkAddict]

58. Also completely unappreciative

of those that were chosen with great bipartisan care, LOL, to divide the grain from his chaff in order to p(r)ose a "respectable" excuse of history. It's way above his reading level anyway - GOATS anyone?

[Kool Kitty]

59. Now he's reading?

(Not that I believe it for a minute.) Might have been nice if he had started reading memos and reports back in the summer of 2001.

[Fuzz]

62. How wildly inappropriate

considering.

[radfringe]

65. psssssssssst.... the butler did it

Uncle Dick reads bedtime story to bush*

[Itchinjim]

68. He is a fucking moran.

Everyday he stuns me with his absolute and utter stupidity. He is a fucking moran.
