BUSH Crawford News Conference, in 10 minutes, on MSNBC.

[Maddy McCall]

I wonder if the press will ask him questions about Camp Casey, and how he will respond?

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Does msnbc stream online?

[Bumblebee]

2. Wanna bet? I'll be happy to lose it :)

[MADem]

3. CSPAN should carry it, along with the other cables

Click around the dial, you should find it...

[johnnie]

4. This should be good

He'll make some inane comment about "meeting with this poor woman who's son gave his life for the freedoms of the country...blah blah blah" then say that he shares in her grief and he has already met with her in the past. End of story.

[jeff30997]

5. I seriously doubt it.

[Halliburton]

6. i'm sure they'll ask him about Libby and Miller

NOT

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. IRAN! BOO! IRAN! BOO! NORTH KOREA! BOO!

Cindy who?

[lildreamer316]

86. Run! Scurry! Flee! Flee!

ala Lewis Black.

[Sparkly]

8. Hey Chimpy!! Change your shirt!!! nt

[Kadie]

LOL

Isn't that the same shirt from yesterday?



:rofl:

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. "noble cause", "Fighting terrorists over there"

"they hate us for our freedoms", "Can't back down". I don't even have to watch it, I already know what is going to be presented.

[displacedtexan]

13. You forgot...

"They're enemies of freedom."

What kind of Novak logic is that?

Novak= bullshit

[tridim]

10. His answer will be..

"It's the first I've heard about it, I'll do some checking with my staff and get back to you. Next question."

[Sparkly]

11. "War on terra arrived on our doorstep on Sept. 11 2001"

Again, conflating that with Iraq.

[Maddy McCall]

12. Jesus! He needs some new cliches. "spreadin' freedom"

"spreadin' democracy" blah blah blah.

[Norquist Nemesis]

24. No. He omits the "I" in all cases

'spreadn'

Except in his formal campaign attacks when he wants to "eay-uh-nun-shiite"

[Sparkly]

14. SAME old platitudes and slogans.

Why does he have to read them at this point?!? We could all recite them.

[Cleita]

15. Ugh, same old BS, spreading freedom, fighting terrorism.

Blah, blah, blah, etc. *snort*

[Solly Mack]

16. Same shit. Different day

And I'd just like to add as one of those military families, Shrub can kiss my ass.

[Sparkly]

17. "With that I'll be glad to answer SOME of your questions..."

He actually emphasized the word "some."

[Not_Giving_Up]

18. We're helping them succeed, we have a plan to help them succeed

The mission in Iraq is tough because the enemy understands the stakes.

Saying that the troops will come home when the mission is done.


LEARN A NEW SONG GEORGE!

They're trying to shake our will.

they want to turn the ME into a launching pad for terrorists.

We're going to stay on the offense....We're fighting them here so we don't have to face them at home.

We're spreading freedom.

I believe that deep in everybody's soul is the desire to be free.

A heavy burden falls on the members of our armed forces and their families.

We've taken steps to improve the call-up process. We give them more notice.

Recruitment goals exceeded in July. Army by 10%, still behind for they year.

Troops re-enlist in impressive numbers.

Americans can have pride and confidence in their all volunteer force.

The VP is there.

Taking questions now

[Not_Giving_Up]

19. That's a really long question, whew!

Did he really just say that?

[Sparkly]

21. "We have a shtrategy." nt

[Vinca]

27. Zzzzzzzzzzz

Wake me when he says something new.

[Solly Mack]

20. "That's a really long question"

idiot

[Not_Giving_Up]

23. Then he forgot some of it and had to ask for it again

OMG

[Solly Mack]

33. He's a joke

[SammyWinstonJack]

78. pResident Brain Dead.

He has the attention span of a gnat.

[Kadie]

26. It's hard work. He will need another vacation after this press conf.

[Solly Mack]

37. LMAO! He'll probably go straight from Crawford to Camp David

[tridim]

22. Wow, the Army met their recruiting goals for Joo-ly

Yes, their seriously lowered goals for Joo-ly.

[displacedtexan]

25. What the hell is wrong with his mouth?

His jaw is jumping to his left.

Let's do the Time warp again!

[jane_pippin]

28. The Cokehead Grind n/t

[Maddy McCall]

36. Yep. Amphetamines will do that to you.

I had a student in one of my classes who had the grind, and when I asked him if he was ok, he told me that it was a side effect of his stimulant medication that he takes for ADHD.

Poor kid.

[jane_pippin]

44. Poor kid is right.

I've never done it but I have friends who do sometimes...You know, 3 of them stumble out of a bathroom at a party, teeth grinding, acting like nobody can tell.

*sigh*

[Maddy McCall]

62. I thought my student had it bad...

he was a college student, by the way, but Bush's grind is the worst I have ever seen.

You can also see the other symptom...tangential thought and speech...going of on tangents and failing to stay on topic.

[jane_pippin]

83. and the ego

(ok, so I don't know if that's really part of it. Everything I know came from 80's stand up comics.)

:P

[Maddy McCall]

88. Oh yes. Boistered self-esteem, for sure.

[Swamp Rat]

92. And high grade crank

:)

[arcane1]

95. just like Hitler

[Not_Giving_Up]

He looks more odd than usual today

Could it be the people in the ditch??

[rodeodance]

81. I do not think they do the makeup bit in Crawford. so we the raw Jr.

[Maddy McCall]

91. LOL! Yes, gin blossoms and all.

:D

[Blue_In_AK]

30. Is he doing that coke jaw thing again?

He must be partying hard down there.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

75. Yes, and it so obvious. n/t

[SpiralHawk]

77. Bush consistently shows mouth and jaw ticks

of the strangest kind.

And the corporate media continues to ignore this obvious PECULIARITY, which every attentive viewer can see. Thus, we know the corporate media is lying to us routinely and failing in its most basic responsibility.

[proud patriot]

29. "I forgot the first part of your question (snicker) no disrespect though "

more laughter by bush ,, what an asshole

[Norquist Nemesis]

31. Are we at "W-SAVE" yet? n/t

[Skip Intro]

32. He's such a ****ing liar

he just said we're fighting the enemy in Iraq so we won't have to fight them here.

Its tiresome calling him on the same lies over and over, but there was no "them" in Iraq. Did he send the troops there to draw the trrrrsts in, with bullseyes on their backs while he dared, "bring 'em on?"

[jane_pippin]

34. What questions are being asked? I'm at work, no tv or sound on

my little computer.

[jane_pippin]

35. stupid dupe. BOO

(sorry)

[Sperk]

38. Did you get a load of Cheney...porker....Hey, Cheney...is that a

heart monitor under your jacket or are you just glad to see us?

[Norquist Nemesis]

40. Hah! I KNEW Cheney would be there!

His eyes are going to turn firey red in a moment like The Judge in Roger Rabbit. Then we'll hear the maniacle cackle!

[Sparkly]

39. "It breaks my heart to think of a family grieving over the loss of a loved

one..." "I understand the anguish," blah blah blah...

Oh yeah?

[displacedtexan]

43. He's whining.

And he keeps looking at the reporters for approval.

What a moran!

[KyndCulture]

53. was that about Cindy??? Did some ask?

[Solly Mack]

41. "Betray the Iraqis?" He's worried about betraying the Iraqis?

Right....that's why he invaded them for a lie.

[ultraist]

79. Yep, that's why he invaded them for a lie and MASS MURDERED Iraqis

How many Iraqi civilians have been killed or maimed?

[Solly Mack]

84. Did you hear him? My ears damn near fell off from shock

"(to pull out) would betray the Iraqis"

Unreal!!!!

But an invasion based on lies, torture, blowing up their country for no reason, detention and killing them isn't betrayal I guess....

[Not_Giving_Up]

42. As for the troops, no decision has been made yet

for increasing troops or decreasing troops.

I also know that there are a lot of folks here in the US that are concerned about troop withdrawals.

They hear the story of lost loved ones. I grieve for every death.

I have heard the voices of those saying pull out now, and I thought about their cry and their sincere desire to pull the troops out. I disagree. Pulling troops out prematurely will betray the Iraqis.

Our mission is to train Iraqis, and we're making progress.

I know it's hard for some Americans to see that progress.

I can't type as fast as he spews BS.

[Sparkly]

45. "Are you referring to Mrs. Sheehan?"

"I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan... She has a right to her position. " MSNBC showing side by side footage of her.

[cbear70]

as he chuckles

he really pisses me off... really seems choked up over Cindy..:banghead:

[Generic Other]

46. He's mentioning Cindy

She has right to position...mistake to security blah blah blah...

[ourbluenation]

51. This is america - she has a right to her opinion

[Sparkly]

47. "Done my best to bring comfort to the families and honor to the loved one.

.." What a JERK.

[jane_pippin]

50. what a COLOSSAL asshole this man is. n/t

[Not_Giving_Up]

48. Are you referring to Mrs. Sheehan

I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. She feels very strongly...

She has a right to her position.


It would be a mistake for us to withdraw.

I've met with a lot of families and I've done my best to provide comfort.


One way to honor the fallen is to lay down a foundation for peace.

[Junkdrawer]

73. SAY IT TO HER FACE, THEN..

[Not_Giving_Up]

85. Damn straight

He is such a fuckface!

[ronnykmarshall]

89. Chicken shit ....

he's a fucking chicken shit.

[Not_Giving_Up]

94. Yes he is!

He is chicken shit extreme!

[rman]

97. Ok so now it's "war = foundation for peace"

Only one more step...

[SillyGoose]

49. he's talking about Cindy now...

he sympathizes with her position.

met with alot of families and done his best to bring comfort and honor to the loved ones.

we should do everything we can to honor the falledn and one way to honor them is maintain the peace (?)

[ourbluenation]

54. "clearly, my position is clear"

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[ourbluenation]

61. He seems rattled - uncomfortable

anyone else notice that?

[SillyGoose]

71. I did. I noticed it yesterday, too, at the speech with his economic

advisers.

[GreenPartyVoter]

80. priceless

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

66. He put it as a "political" difference. Bullshit!!!! n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

72. The "news model" just marginalized Cindy and Camp Casey!

This was on CNN.

[Solly Mack]

52. I am so incredibly sick of this selfish lying piece of shit claiming to

give a damn about the troops and their families.

I don't want people like him even claiming to support me and mine. I know better - they don't give a damn.

[Flubadubya]

55. Heartless, cold-blooded bastard!

Arrggghhhh... I can't stand this! :cry::mad::argh:

[Vinca]

56. Why don't any members of the press have enough cajones to

ask why Jenna and Barbara haven't signed up if the cause is so noble?

[rodeodance]

59. Jr. does tend to blunder on and on and on..........

[UTUSN]

57. Yap Yap "Freedom" Yap Yap "Premature" Yap Yap

Come on, media, ask him this: Since even those who oppose the Iraq attack also oppose premature withdrawal, no point in re-yapping the same old tired "reasons" for going there in the first place---so let's talk about what the real reasons were and whether false pretences were in play.

[displacedtexan]

58. So, he doesn't have to meet with Mrs. Sheehan...

because he "already understands her position."

And that understanding was communicated to him by whom?

Karen Hughes?

Every time he opens his mouth, he makes the world less safe, and he insults every single American.

[rodeodance]

64. he understands her position thru his advisors who spoke to Cindy this

week.

[Not_Giving_Up]

60. It's kind of what we call speculation

Does he think they invented THAT word too?

I'm pleased with the progress that has been made to train Iraqi troops...

[Sparkly]

63. "Hard work, hard work, hard work..." nt

[cbear70]

68. uggg

choked when he said that. Does he seriously think we believe him ..

[rodeodance]

70. well, he said he would answer 'some' questions. Did he-as I missed

most of it.

[DistressedAmerican]

65. HARD FUCKING WORK! WHEN WILL HE EVER LEARN?

[Not_Giving_Up]

67. There is a political track on which we are making progress

It's hard work, but Americans have done hard work.

Think about WWII (WHY - Is this WWIII???)

I'm incredibly proud of our military, and I think most of the American people are as well.

[GreenPartyVoter]

82. Except Cindy Sheehan? Is that what you are saying, **?

[Not_Giving_Up]

87. Sounds like that was what he was implying, doesn't it?

What an ass!

[GreenPartyVoter]

90. He makes me insane, he really does.

[Sparkly]

69. Obviously they made sure nobody would ask the obvious:

"WHY WON'T YOU MEET WITH THE GRIEVING MOTHER DOWN THE ROAD?!?!???"

[Solly Mack]

74. YOU, you putrid pile of garbage, are the reason troops are dying

It chaps my ass to no end for that beslubbering chicken craw to talk about military families in any way, form or fashion.

[lildreamer316]

76. #@$!&*%#@$!*@!!!!

as I said :http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4316548

That's it. I need a drink and a shower. Back in awhile......

[marions ghost]

93. actually I thought he performed better today

playing badminton with the press...real breezy and the smirk was back

Mr. Sincere Nice Guy had a canned (pre-emptive) Support the Troops statement which went something like: "Look, I grieve for every death"... "it grieves my heart"..."I understand the anguish... "I have heard the voices of those who say pull out but I strongly disagree"...A journalist managed to work in "are you talking about Ms. Sheehan?" and the reply was--"I support ANY grieving mother or father"..."I've done my best to bring comfort to families"..."it's part of my duty to meet with those families..." (oops, brief stumble, shouldn't have said that--moving right along)

Did not refer to Cindy directly other than "she has a right to her opinion" --nothing about the protestors. All in blanket terms.

[arcane1]

96. damn, I wish I could download this somewhere!

:evilfrown:

[OhioChick]

98. Irritating..............

What I find to be so irritating about * is how he's always stumbling over his words and using "uh" in-between words. Today was more of the same. Proper public speaking is taught in high schools...........or was he AWOL in high school, as well? Sorry for the rant, just a personal pet peeve of mine. He needs to go back to public speaking 101. Ugh.........what an embarrassment.

[Jessica]

99. Grrrrr ...

"And I've thought about their cry and their sincere desire to reduce the loss of life by pulling our troops out. I just strongly disagree."

So ... he disagrees with reducing the loss of life?

That's what I thought.
