Bush Fell Asleep During Super Bowl, Didn't See Controversial Halftime Show

WASHINGTON (AP) - The early-to-bed president missed the Super Bowl's risque halftime show. But George W. Bush's spokesman said Monday the administration was concerned that the display wasn't family-friendly.

I don't want to admit it, but because this White House starts early, I missed it - again," Bush told reporters after a Cabinet meeting. "Saw the first half, did not see the half time - I was preparing for the day and fell asleep."

"But you all can tell me about it," he joked to reporters.

Half time started before 8:30 p.m. EST. Sunday.

The halftime show concluded with singer Justin Timberlake tearing off part of Janet Jackson's costume, exposing her right breast. Timberlake blamed a "wardrobe malfunction."

:-)

Guess, I better start hiding my wallet.

he doesn't want the people to know what he really was doing with himself when he saw that bare breast!!! The dog had an easy night after that incident!!

as in passed out with an empty bottle of scotch next to him.

It's just politically easier to say he fell asleep.

pickles was probably pissed that he watched!

Thus, "I fell asleep, what happened, I missed it"

I remember hearing on the news yesterday, and I can't remember who, was invited to the WH to watch the game with him...Does anyone remember? You mean to tell me the moron invited someone to watch the game, then he "gets tired" and leaves the guest to watch the game alone? NO WAY did he go to bed early!!! More likely, he got shitfaced!

Ok, I know some people who go to bed early, but come on, is he really waking up at 4am?

The people I know, who are chronic drinkers or alcoholics, ALL go to bed early, rise impossibly early.. regardless of what time they HAVE to get up. Not that I'm implying anything...

that "lump in the bed"..guess he didn't want to stay up w/ her, or did she go to bed first. Wouldn't surprise me if they have separate bedrooms.

I wish he'd slept through the State of the Union speech, instead.

I thought he was watching the Superbowl with brother Marv and Commerce Secretary Don Evans, plus their families...

So, what, did he invite them over and then ignore them to go prepare for the following day before falling asleep?

Or did he just fall asleep on the couch next to Don Evans?

He lies when a lie isn't necessary.

An easy way out, so as not to weigh in on the issue. I'll bet Karl thought this one up.

he lied about watching it with Evans and lied about falling asleep before half time. Of course there's no real reason to lie about these things, but he seems to lie about everything, big or small ("did I just see Air Force One?")

he just didn't want to admit that he'd seen it, because then the reporters would want him to comment on it. It's much easier for him to just say "oh, that, yeah, I fell asleep," than to have to answer questions about Janet Jackson's breasts.

But I bet he did see it - and even if he didn't see it live, he must have seen it on cable news this morning. Unless of course Bush doesn't read the newspapers AND doesn't watch Fox News.

Somebody should ask Marvin or Don Evans if *they* saw it :)

but with these assholes its hard to give them credit for a little white lie to the press toa void getting caught up in a storm in a teacup event like boobie-gate.

If Bush told me that today was Monday I'd assume that it was a lie until I got more reliable information from other sources.

Bush's brain: "You can stay, but I'm leaving".

Maybe I'm giving * too much credit assuming he even has a brain.

What a lying sack of shit. Pathetic. He couldn't tell the truth if his ass was on fire and he needed a bucket of water thrown on it.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy, so when was it that he dozed off? Had he gone to bed for the night while company was still there? Were they asked to leave earlier than expected because his lordship wanted to go to bed?

Rove has so many fires to put out at the moment that he's undoubtedly spinning - I mean really, literally, physically, spinning. This looks like it, anyway.

Intriguing link.

or passed out from pretzel.

I cannot believe the utter idiocy that flows from this president and his cronies. They are the worst comedic fodder in the world. Yet it seems the bufoon is endowed with this baffling sense of gravity and leadership by the mainstream media.

Having to defend or condone the superbowl, now do we ?

what? 8pm EST... was he really already asleep? How much sleep does we require?

So, if it's not controversial enough for the world's pre-eminent news organization to censor it, why is it an issue?

Plus they had a pasty on it.

Then why does he look like shit this morning?





He just doesn't want to admit that he got so plastered that he missed seeing Janet's boob.

Even worse than usual--all red in the face and puffy eyes.

Goin' for that all-important Reagan demographic. Very shrewd. :thumbsup:

Liked to talk about pussy. Seems like a conference call would have been in order.

Especially with that pretty face guy.

As posted today on teh Kansas City Star's web site. Underlining emphasis mine:

Bundled against freezing temperatures outside the White House, President Bush on Sunday extended greetings to U.S. troops cheering the Super Bowl.

“Our thoughts, of course, go out to our troops who are watching this game today,” Bush told CBS Sports in a live interview from the Rose Garden at the White House.

“Just want them to know the country supports them and we stand with them.”

Bush said he planned to watch the game with his brother, Marvin, Secretary of Commerce Don Evans and their families.

everyone knows he had a hot date with a "pretzel".........

when the patriots visit the white house.

I mean anybody would be sleepy after nine beer.

Lying takes a lot of energy, you know. He has to construct and maintain an entire fantasy world in his head. Kind of like building a ship in a bottle.

nothing he says can be taken for truth. Nothing. He has not been an honorable or an honest man all of his life and continues on in that mode. He knows nothing else and is truly the worst president we have had to suffer.

I do think if he goes on like this, he will end up in the hospital--being treated for psychiatric illness. He is just a man whose perception of reality is totally out of sinc. He is so underqualified and so far in over his head that indeed, all he knows to do is lie. Probably no one is clueing him in anymore as to what is really going on in his administration.

Pathetic little twit.

Of course he saw it. He didn't know how to spin the fact that he "popped a woody".

He wanted to say that he personally found a WMD, but Laura reminded him that it was just a tiny little weanie.

when over 500 of OUR soldiers and countless thousands of Iraqis died just so you can be a smartass.

edited to tell a moron that his buddies in the WH made Saddam both prosperous AND dangerous.

moron.

if i were as far over my head as he is over his, i'd stay drunk 24 hours a day.

just don't let him anywhere near those missile codes

"I don't want to admit it, but because I was rescuing children from a burning orphanage, I missed it - again" Bush told reporters

I should write the scripts for this administration.

Or he was falling down drunk.

after I drink a quart of Jack Daniels with beer chasers.

Bush is still drinking.

I thought his handlers kept his eyelids propped open with toothpicks?

...and might I say we were both singularly (or is it dually?) unimpressed.

Given the hullabulloo today, you'd think someone had hijacked and flown a boob into Reliant Stadium, killing everyone inside.

But when we finally found a photo of the boob, the impish tip looking as if it had been ensnared in some kind of medieval thimble, we just couldn't understand. A federal investigation -- over this?

I might support a probe into why Janet Jackson girds her nipples in micro-armor, but that's no job for the federal government. Why not just let the E! channel conduct it?

accuses me too of falling asleep all the time and many times she's correct...but not during the Super Bowl!!!! I wonder if he had any pretzels nearby?

Falls asleep before halftime of a 14-10 SUPER BOWL? Are you fucking kidding me????

Not even the idiot freepers can believe this nonsense anymore. Sheeeeesh!

such a dumb thing to lie about, admit to, do, pretend to do~ whatever. they've lost the juju completely if this is all they can come up with. i mean, the guy who falls asleep during the superbowl is the guy who gets his shoelaces tied together and "f--" written on his forehead with a sharpie...

I'm very pleased that our Imperial Idiot is sooooo involved in serious matters that affect millions of Americans that — he falls asleep?

Not.

Just another little reminder that SmirkBoy finds governing "boring".

Yet another jab at Clinton? Didn't Clinton keep late hours, actually working, unlike Chimpy? Any why does Chimpy always have to tout his work ethics? Why does he always want a pat on the back for doing what he is suppose to be doing,(NOT)?

But it may cost him the football fan vote!


rocknation

Jeez, he's like Reagan was, and at about half his age!


:boring:
