How about that wild eyed bastard whipping around "I won't get in the way"

[The_Casual_Observer]

He looked like a god damned possessed maniac. Gregory had him where he wanted him, back turned from the camera, you could practically see the sparks shooting up his spine before he turned around. What a fucking piece of work that guy is.

1. I thought it was

the moment we see him blow and he did but he managed to control it better than I thought he would. It was pretty stunning though. If looks could kill...

[autorank]

3. Would this question do it?

"Mr. President, I'd like to give you a chance to deny those tabloid rumors that you're drinking again."

:evilgrin:

[MuseRider]

I live

for a question like that. I think he seems awfully close to blowing but he gets some really good drugs apparently.

10. Lithium, perhaps? I flew a plane (& did other work) for a guy who was

seriously ...hell, I don't know, I just thought 'goofy' but took LI tabs to keep him semi-level. It didn't always work so well, one day he gave a new Ford to a waitress as a tip. I really ought to write a book about those days. ;-)

[MuseRider]

12. No clue but can you imagine

what it takes to balance the guy out? Now THAT would be a job.

Lol, write that book, it sounds very interesting!

[unrepuke]

14. A FORD?!! that'll teach her to screw up his order, haha

[Libby2]

25. I thought he was going to lose it too.

I had my fingers crossed. XX

[autorank]

2. I saw that too and had the same reaction.

He is especially dangerous now. He's going back to his "photo op" strategy exclusively. That's all he has. Whatever happens in terms of Federal response is determined already by the team he's allowed to ruin FEMA and, on a more random basis, by the uncontrollable events of nature. He's scared shitless. Poppy can't go talk to GAIA and smooth things over. There's no life after being designated the very worst, by a long shot, President of the USA ever in living or historical memory, without exception. Thanks for nothing Republicans.

4. Gregory showed balls too. He didn't back down at all

He kept right after him without whimpering away. Way to go.

[samdogmom]

5. David Gregory was great at the impromptu press conference, but

if you watched him later on NBC/MSNBC he defended Bush. So I'm a little confused. Is he going for the jugular or not? I'd welcome other opinions.

[The_Casual_Observer]

8. I guess it's called "fair & balanced"

Hell, as long as Gregory is willing to ask questions like that, I don't care if he tries to give the chimp the benefit of the doubt once and a while.

[samdogmom]

9. Thanks, I never considered the "fair and balanced" thing. I think you're

on to something. Thanks.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. Gregory might be the only one in the whole media that

might actually be able to do it, so far he is singular in that regard.
I hope that they don't try to stop him.

[Sydnie]

13. Are we seeing the new "Dan Rather" for their generation?

Remember, Dan hammered Nixon this way too. He might be placing a bet on his own future too. If he can stand out and do a great job hammering their lies, he could be well on his way to the news directors position. That would be good for us. He would ask no less of any other reporter under him, I think.

7. Got that right

After the brat whirled with his "One thing I won't do is get in the way", Gregory immediately smacked him with "What good can you actually do?"

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. He looked pissed off for sure! I loved it!

How dare anyone question him! :rofl: What a great moment!

[ToolTex]

15. Anyone have a clip of, or link to, the video?

n/t

16. Here it is

[mountainvue]

17. I saw that look in his eyes. He wanted to throttle

whomever asked him that question.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Then he catches himself and turns on the bogus "disarming" charm

he is apparently famous for. The bastard is scary.

[anitar1]

23. He cannot hide his fury. Very difficult for a sociopath.

The one thing they cannot stand is to be backed into a corner. I predicted a year ago , that he would totally lose it in public some day. Can't wait to see it.

[OrlandoGator]

19. The fucker is mentally unstable. He can't glue words together anymore.

I cannot believe this man is the President of the United States of America. What a sordid state of affairs.

[OrlandoGator]

20. Headline: "Bush skips Texas to avoid hampering Rita response"

http://snipurl.com/hwt1

Looks like someone was watching the news tonight.

[The_Casual_Observer]

21. Looks like Gregory is doing a better job of leading chimp around than rove

[Tower]

22. LMAO- Am I the only one who thinks that headline sounds like

Bush is acknowledging his own incompetence? I mean, I know it was spurred by David Gregory's question, but that's just hilarious.

[OrlandoGator]

24. Well, he was right...he DIDN'T get in the way.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the Texas officials said, "No, Mr. President. Don't come here. You're going to fuck us all up."
