aWol to 'take questions' this morn...will this be the big blow up?

[mopaul]

let's hope so. he's been absolutely hiding out for weeks now, and getting real touchy and testy about annoying reporter's questions that he has no clue how to answer. i used to loathe seeing him speak on my t.v. machine, now i sort of look forward to it. i will even be taping it just in case there are some really juicy facial expressions and body language, and gaffes, god i love the gaffs. rove must have to take several valium before bush goes out in front of the public and starts winging it.

4. I hope the press...

has rehearsed their pre-submitted and Rove-approved questions. Either that, or be prepared to hear W give the same answer to every question like he did at his last 'open' press conference. Boy, was that ever a disaster! I need to head off to work, but look forward to reading the reactions that will be posted here. Will he appear drugged up again? How many times will he smirk when speaking of death and destruction? I'm not betting that anyone will ask him about his SOTUS lies, so I don't believe there will be a meltdown on national tv, but wouldn't it be nice?

5. questions

Will these be prepared questions? Does he know in advance who and what? If these will be spontaneous questions that he can't answer in front of the world he will blow up. I must see that. I have become so cynical I can't see him going in front of reporters without prepared answers.

6. why now?

why does karl rove think that * has to face the press at this particular time?
what was the catalyst for this obvious departure from the play book?

maybe they have a quota (yes, i wrote that word on purpose!) of nasty headlines, which, when reached, they trot the chimp out to take 2 questions from pre-selected press whores.

8. can you imagine what will happen

if a legitimate question is asked like the comment to Blair:
'Prime Minister do you have blood on your hands'?

[samsingh]

9. he's going on vacation

wants to show his face again.

Whore press question: 'Mr. President, your dedication to work is remarkable. You just give and give and give. What gives you this ability to give the American people 1000% of yourself?'

7. I've always loved watching him speak on TV

but the sad thing is, only I seem to get the joke. He'll mumble and mispronounce a few words, pause, look like he's lost. Then he'll say one of fixed phrases and smirk. The media will clap and say, "Great speech!" Meanwhile I'm RAOFLMAO.
