fascist is going to speak. "Under my authority of the Patriot Act I am declaring the Democratic Party to be and enemy combatant of the United States."

[MUAD_DIB]

Beaten Bush's press conference a must-see political tragicomedy
BY MARK LEIBOVICH, The New York Times
Article Last Updated:11/08/2006 09:53:41 PM PST

WASHINGTON - It was one of those once-a-decade days in Washington when news, rumor and recrimination crackled in every direction. But the wounded duck at the center of it all, President George W. Bush, offered by far the day's most mesmerizing spectacle.

He looked worn at his midday news conference - in need of a haircut, a good night's sleep, better makeup, a hug, a vacation in Crawford or some combination of all that. The grooves across his forehead were dark and articulated. His voice was slightly hoarse. He wore a maroon tie, the color of blood.

Yet for someone whose presidency had just been repudiated, whose party had been sent reeling and whose defense secretary had just been sent packing, Bush also appeared strangely giddy, like someone acting a little odd after suffering a blow to the head or a "thumpin'," to use the official presidential description.

Bush's news conferences are eclectic affairs, a display of the president at his herky-jerkyiest, with odd cadences, unorthodox diction ("I'm the decider") and strange points of emphasis: "I dispute the premise."

[Patsy Stone]

29. I'm hoping against hope

it's as ridiculous as yesterday, but I think that was a once-in-a-lifetime event. :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. I recorded it just in case I never see the like again

I plan on playing it for my grandchildren someday. :D

[Patsy Stone]

41. Watch closely, kids.

"...and here's the exact moment when the President lost it on national TV."

[SammyWinstonJack]

51. Oh, I hope so!

:evilgrin:

[Tuesday_Morning]

42. Don't misunderestimate him

[Bouncy Ball]

44. Heeee.

Great description.

Watching him nowdays truly is entertaining.

Maybe he'll talk to himself or to his "voices" some more today!

Gonna have to set the DVR for today's...whatever it is.

[boolean]

32. Maybe he's resigning

One can dream, right?

[Patsy Stone]

38. I'm right there with you.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2656691&mesg_id=2656938

[savemefromdumbya]

46. he should do the decent thing

resign

[Patsy Stone]

47. He'll announce that the 49ers are moving

specifically to get away from Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco values.

[Frank Cannon]

70. Enough crazy stuff has happened in the last 48 hours...

I wouldn't put that out of the realm of possibility.

[WilliamPitt]

33. Because he needs to remind us that he's relevant

or something.

[Patsy Stone]

40. Expressing sorrow

about the impending Britney/K-Fed divorce?

[Marrah_G]

34. My Guess is .................

He is going to welcoming the NEW DEMOCRATIC CONTROLLED SENATE!

He will grovel a bit more, whine about bi-partison while pee-ing in his pants at the thought of being tried for war-crimes.

Oh yes.... and he will recommend a good interior designer for Ried.

[Clark2008]

35. To tell us of impending terrorist threats to basketball arenas that

will later be proven to have been a hoax perpetrated by a teenager playing a silly game with his friends?

:shrug:

[Patsy Stone]

60. :)

Good morning in America, Clark. :hi:

Maybe he'll announce it's true after all that he has no plan in Iraq and open the floor to take suggestions from the press corps?

[LiberalEsto]

36. announcing that he's "screwn"?

and heading down to Crawford to clear more brush.

[elehhhhna]

67. lmao "I'm screwn Condi" more like.

[Doctor_J]

39. It's rove's new "You may have a majority, but we don't have to let

you talk" philosophy. As of this evening, Stupid will have given more pressers in 28 hours than he gave in 2005.

But, OTOH, Malloy will have lots of fodder for tonight.

[Penndems]

43. He's firing his entire Cabinet and starting from scratch?

Just a guess . . . ;)

[Bush_MUST_Go]

48. To announce he finally finished "My Pet Goat." And give a book report.

[Penndems]

52. ROFL! Good one!

n/t

[OneBlueSky]

[Patsy Stone]

49. Sad thing:

At this point that would be an improvement. :eyes:

[radfringe]

57. to be serious - it probabaly has to due with his breakfast

meeting with Pelosi and Reid...

[Patsy Stone]

61. Breakfast was with Frist and Hastert.

He's meeting with the Cabinet now, and he's having lunch with Nancy. I think lunch with Harry is tomorrow.

He's a busy boy with all that eating. :)

I think you're probably right, though, and I wonder if she'll be there. So far I haven't heard if she will because, to be honest, I have the sound turned down now on the TeeVee.

[elehhhhna]

68. B'fat w/ Hastert? Now THAT's appetizing.

:donut: :puke:

[poofer]

58. to announce he's taking

a vacation to the ranch. All that HARD WORK he had to do to help campaign!!

[stop the bleeding]

59. BOLTON?

:D

[opihimoimoi]

69. RESIGNATION FOR CHENEY AND HIMSELF....he is going to resign

to go fishing and play golf, hunt birds, and eat pretzels...

"Its not fun when ya don have ze power so this is the best route."

"Loyalty? My GOPers didn't come out to vote Pub..them bastards stayed home and played canasta or some shit silly game"

"I can take a hint...I'm outta here..."

I would love to see this happen....

[radfringe]

71. is there an official bush bloviate thread?

[Patsy Stone]

72. Not that I've seen.

He's scheduled to begin bloviating at 11:35 a.m. EST, but CNN just got the "two minute warning".

[radfringe]

73. hope someone starts it -- I'm a cube rat

working on a computer that's older than the bush mis-administration and works about the same
