Official Press Conference Thread, FoxGlove1 Transcribing...

Our own "Steno Sue", who did such a GREAT job transcribing the Senate for us last week, has agreed to perform the same service here this morning. If she can avoid the nausea, we're in for an excellent blow-by-blow!
Keep this kicked 'till it starts (12 minutes)...

:kick:

kick!

heehee ... I'll do my best, but sure would appreciate any and all help - I don't type THAT fast. But we must keep the cube rats fed, so c'mon guys!

Sue

on the 28 pages?
if so, rove wins.

(Imported from the LBN thread)

David Gregory, NBC News:
Mr. President, how much does American foreign policy kick ass?

President Bush:
Thank you for asking, David. Well, uh.. u... 'Murka's like a baseball player all hopped up on the juice. Nuthin' can stop us swingin' for the fences. Plus, you'd better not piss us off. That stuff messes with our head, somethin' fierce. And remember, we're at bat for freedom. Facing the pitcher of hatretude. We are the haters of the haters of freedom, and we will prevail. Next question.

If it's not a word it should be.

We need a compilation of all the best dubya satire that's appeared on DU. Some of it is absolutely wonderful.

:kick:

better savor it

on if helen T delivers a smackdown that he richly deserves.

That sir, was no press conference!

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Iraq free elections coming, conditions growing more peaceful, some regions are trting to frighten Iraqia, they will fail.

Please tell me he really said that.

There's always one of those questions.

Free Iraq critical to middle east and america.

.

It's gonna be one of "those" press conferences, I guess.

was the police coming to arrest him.

He makes it sound like EVERYTHING is just GREAT. Fucking liar.

Didn't say when. Implication is during THIS war????

Everything from agent orange to tear gas.

When we say the check's in the mail, we mean it.

Is he talking to Bill Bennett?

let's get to the questions lunkhead

Have I mentioned how much I loathe Bush?

Gah. Who writes this shit?

Idiot: Dumb Crawford joke. Looking forward to going to TX. Focused on two concerns: safety of murkins and ecomony. 90 days since end of combat in Iraq <snicker> Liberated from tyranny - on path to self-gov't and PEACE. Trained civilians into new miliatry that will protect. Reps will be drafting new constitution. People of Iraq are reclaiming country and future <gag> Growing more peaceful. Remnants have joined with terrorist and making last attempt to frighten people and weaken coalition resolve. Colation forces are taking the fight to th enemy in an unrelenting campaiugn that is bringing daily results. Sons did not escape the raids and neither will other members of despicable regime. Murkins are proud of our service people. We appreciate military families who share in the hardship. Free Iraq is critical to stability of ME and stable ME is critical to murkin people. Search for the truth in Iraq. We know he had bio/chem weapons .. spent years HIDING them from the world. Teams looking for them - to uncover the truth. Free institutions blah blah blah. Freedom advances and societies are less liulely to produce ideaologies of hatred <yeah right> We're great - we're terrific - kill em all blah blah. Never assume the restraint and goodwill of dangerous enemies. Economic secrity of the murkin people. Tax cuts, tax breaks - checks are on the way, people!!! Economy growing - unemployment still too high ... ya think .... congress needs to pass sound energy bill. Affordable energy. Frivolous lawsuits. Congress apparently needs to do a whole bunch of shit. Refund child credit. Create jobs blah blah. Seniors - drugs - pleased that congress has passed bills. They need to enact a piece of legislation that I can sign - idiot. We must keep the promise of medicare - better choices for seniors. Congratulating congress - working with members in fall

Sue

Congress apparently needs to do a whole bunch of shit.

:D

Said he is "getting old".

does not have the power of the Clenis™

What do you say to troops?

Taking the first question, smirks at the press corps, "No need for any unrestrained, uh, yelling." Huh?

Every 30 days a new president. Sounds like a great plan...hmmm...wonder if we can get that here, starting immediately.

Howard DEAN! :)

The VP -- Cheney -- is next in the alphabet, proving that an alphabetical presidency is probably a VERY BAD idea.

and it's only the first fucking question!
when will someone mention the giant elephant on the table?

Q: Saddam's sons - missed the rest

Ass: We have good rotation in plan for the troops. Some concern that they were getting mixed signals and now rotation plan is in place. Capacity to move very quickly. Intelligence is getting better. Catching saddam - important that his sons were brought to justice.

Sue

death=justice.

Sickening.

re rotation. Something about rotation was unclear before, but now it was clear.

He referred to Ben Al Shieb (sp?), but called him by wrong name, and said Ramsey Al Shieb "or whatever his name was".

Said: "I warned you I'm getting older." That is exact quote. The question he forgot was about catching SH.

He was staring up in the sky!!!

Kids are easily distracted by balloons.

"Now that we killed Saddam's sons, what can you tell us, Mr President, about how close we are to capturing or killing Saddam himself." The tone of the "reporter" is respectful & groveling.

We're on the hunt .. making progress. Bring to justice - making progress - repeating his stupid dumbass self over and over. Idiot

Sue

Is that the new way of saying "assassinated?"

AWOL and his band of corrupt thugs are brought to "Justice"

Cheers
Drifter

...because I've been praying for years that Bush and Cheney be "brought to justice", and I wouldn't want any visits from the gestapo...

“I don’t know how close we are to catching Saddam Hussein. Closer than we were yesterday, I guess.”

that's twice now, he's starting to lose it quickly

MENTIONED Al Qaeda and STILL trying to tie Sadaam to al qaeda. fucker.

Who are these first two questioners? On * payroll?????? JUST PATHETIC!!!

:puke:
:puke:

WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT! I CAN'T STAND IT! WHERE'S HELEN THOMAS...HHHEELLPPP

he enjoys the parts about dead people the most. salivating when speaking of those he's had killed on the hunt

So, far his answers makes him look like the fool/lunatic he is. He's mispronounced Remnants as "Reminants" twice so far and talked about "enriching targets" in Iraq for our soldiers to tartget.

He can't complete a sentence which is cohesive. They gave him too many drugs or too few for this performance.
Rambling.

Talking about being on "alert because we has postions of responsibility."

Now talking about Al Quaeda as "displacing management." Can't remember terrorists names................!!!

Unbelievable. Like a drunken gangster from a 1930's movie!!!

fucking grin that is supossed to cajole us into believing what he says. GGGGGAAAAGH!
i swear, he needs to be bitchslaped!

War on terra goes on - there are still al quaeda remnants. We're learning more about their plans as we capture more. Real threat - we don't have specifics, but we know they tend to use the methodology that worked in the past. Some data that they want to use flights. We can be at home (duh) and be diligent that inspection process is good. Talking to foreign airlines. Being on alert means contacting all who are responsible. Al quaeda - dismantling senior management. Making fun of terrorist names. Gawd, he's an asshole. Murkin people need to know we're not stopping. We're ON THE HUNT GODDAMMIT. Threat reminds us that we NEED TO BE ON THE HUNT GODDAMMIT.

Sue

No mention of decrease in air marshalls, was there? I didn't hear it.

Something about being familiar with Al Qaeda (?) "mind set".

What an embarrassment.

I'm detecting a bit of editorializing on your part - it's subtle, but there.

BTW, goddamn these questions suck!

Umm, not all of us are complete and total MORANS, you idiot!

He is so braindead! Though I thought it was brave to try to pronounce those names...

He tried to rattle off some terrorist names, only got two right, f**ked up the third, said he was sorry, then suddenly summoned the name up. EAR PIECE.

Ear piece wouldn't surprise me. If I was one of his staffers, I wouldn't want him to go out on a press conference without one.

Seems breathless. What's with that?

looks like he could shit himself about any minute!

looks like he could shit himself about any minute!

We're on the hunt. Will stay on the hunt. We need to be the hunt.

He knows he just needs to keep talking and he'll just run out of time.

That's what it seems like to me too.

did complete snow jobs in his writing--like as long as he put in lots of words, he would get at least some credit?

...but first we must define the terms "Magna", "Carta" and "significance". Webster defines "significance" as.....


That's good for a "C-" right there...

Sorry, I just have to distract myself from the agony of listening to Bush* stumble and mumble.

how many different ways can he say it? None...3 reps in a single sentence, though is a new record, I think.

Thunderchimps are on the move,
Thunderchimps are loose,
Feel the boredom, hear the spin,
Thunderchimps are loose,

uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....
uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....
uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....uh.....uh....

She threw a semi-hardball.

Totally scripted. This is not a press conference.

Exact quote.

.

...small pieces of cud chewing animals?

A good sign!

of the place in disgust?!

He's hemming and hawing .... level of frustration in the media. Going to take time to gather the evidence and analyze mounds of evidence. Leaning on podium - jackass. Analyzing all the documentation not only on weapons programs but also on terrorist links. Truth will come out. No doubt in my mind that Saddam was a threat to the peace in the region - free Iraq is important for acheiving peace in ME.

Sue

Gregory: 28 pages - material you can read and have incriminating view of saudi gov't.

Ass: I told saudis we have ongoing investigation about what may have taken place prior to 9/11. Important to hold this close so that those involved won't be alerted. To reveal would reveal sources and methods - can't let the bad guys know how we get the goods on them. He's an asshole. Making progress on investigation - as threat diminishes. My judgment - now is not the time to do so. I want to remind you that some have spoken out but some agree with my point of view, since I'm in charge of the war on terra is that we won't compromise

Sue

and no amount of actual evidence will ever change that.

he BELIEVES in the tooth fairy as well. so don't discunt what he believes.

Tap dancing around her question, never answered it.

What a lying piece of doo-doo. What a lying piece of doo-doo.

"It's 29 pages out of a 900 page report: It would reveal sources and methods that would compromise our chances to succeed." Bull doo-doo.

Read John Dean in Findlaw:

...Bluntly stated, either the Bush White House knew about the potential of terrorists flying airplanes into skyscrapers (notwithstanding their claims to the contrary), or the CIA failed to give the White House this essential information, which it possessed and provided to others. ...

http://writ.news.findlaw.com/dean/20030729.html

OnEdit: nope

...

This man is certifiably insane. These spins are the most awful and transparent that I have ever seen.

Makes me wonder what he was thinking by holding this press conference.

My fingers hurt!

Sue

.

........

Question now about credibility of U.S.

"better to produce results" says Bush. Dust storms slowed down...
Now, question is will Iraq ever be free? Will it be peaceful.

Articles of confederation to U.S. constitution took time. So, free Iraq will take time. Free Iraq will take time & will be important...Middle East.

"Just getting warmed up..." Uh, uh, pause.

SH was a threat. The U.N. viewed him as a threat; that's why they passed 12 resolutions. Gathered a lot of intelligence. It was good, sound intelligence. In order to placate... our search will yield that which I strongly believe that Saddam had a weapons PROGRAM.

He actually used his weapons PROGRAM on his people at one time... Real quote.

I AM MINDFUL THAT WE'RE ALL SINNERS. new topic.

"I am confident that Sadam Hussein had a weapons program and we are searching for evidence. Used his weapons program on his own people at one point"

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a huge fucking slip!!!!!!!!!

.

Now onto recession, which is shallow. ?????

I've got a log in my eye! Help!

:kick:

previous distortions/lies! OMG, that is a true case of the kettle calling the pot black. LIAR!

"We are all sinners". Respect each individual, however... Doesn't mean somebody like me has to compromise on marriage. Man/woman only, got lawyers looking at it.

"I am mindful that we're all sinners. And I caution those who, um, may try to take the speck out of their own eye when they got a log in their own."

In other words queers can't ever be sanctified by taking the vow of marriage? What is it with junior and his cock sucking ways?

He is not only an un-educated motherfucker, he's an idiot.

big surprise

"Our economy is growing."
...
"I care about people being able to find a job."
...
"There are hopeful signs."
...
"We certainly need tort reform."
...
"What I'm saying to is, is that there's still work to do. But I'm optimistic about the future."

He is criticizing media coverage of the "march to war?" He was the fucking drum major!

Marriage is between a man and woman.

Q: Tax cuts .... yet unemployment is rising - massive deficits, conomy is shedding jobs. Are tax cuts really working???

Ass: Drumbeat to war/stock market/9/11 not very conducive to economy to hear "march to war" all the time. 2001 tax cuts - recession was shallow <guffaw> Hopeful signs - whining about things he doesn't understand - housing starts etc. Stuttering like the imbecile he is - TORT REFORM ... WE NEED TORT REFORM GODDAMMIT

Sue

once again, blame Clinton for NK. It's *Bush's fault for not staying engaged with them he ignored them that's part of the reason why.

BTW I hate his marriage between a man and woman only sinner shit what's that? Some of us in this country don't believe in gods and even those that do aren't against people that are gay and want to marry. You stupid pResident!!!!!!!!!! We don't want the tyranny of the majority, that you idiot is what our BILL OF RIGHTS is about, you know the one you wipe your butt with!

No. Blames 9/11, drumbeat to war, etc. for bad stock market. '01 tax cuts helped economy. Hem, haw, talking points. Next 18 months positive growth coming.
Other things we can do: TORT reform, energy bill. Still work to do, I'm optimistic.

my tax cuts had NO EFFECT on the DEFICITS.
he just has to keep repeating it like the little engine that could.

nicely phrased

:crazy:

Boy. He's losing it!

With that last question.

How about one. Just one.

You said you are "results" oriented. What have you done to produce results with North Korea.

Past policy of trying to engage bilaterally didn't work. NK didn't keep their word.

Radio has cut him off.

Something to do with how NK will react.

Why is C. Rice not being held responsible.


"I take personal responsibility for everything I say." Ha! He said that re SOTU.

I swear. He said that.

...watching the camera follow his back and forth movements. Wish someone would come out and duct tape him into an immovable position.

"stock market began to decline in spring of 2000."

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... that he was an imminent threat to the world with Chem/Bio/Nuclear weapons in 2003, you MORON!

Especially since we then kicked his ass back to the stone age, and disarmed him after the Gulf War, and isolated him from the world, you MORON!

The only thing that is evidence of is that we (and the U.N.) should (perhaps) have done what we did in 1991, you MORON!

The question now is whether he had RE-armed, you MORON!

Most people (experts) do not believe that he had, you MORON!

So wipe that self-congratulatory smirk off your face!! YOU MORON!!
(oops, I meant "MORAN")

"The past policy of trying to engage bilaterally didn't work."
...
"I think it's very important for us to get Japan and South Korea and Russia involved as well."

Talked to China this a.m., urging continued involvement. Also told him Japan, sKorea, russia need to be part of this.
Tap, tap, tap, NO ANSWER again!

or something like it?

. . .about Dr. Rice.

(CONDI).......fabulous

I just don't always remember what it was

Last years speeches.....

“I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course. Absolutely.”
...
"Dr. Condoleeza Rice is an honest, fabulous person and America is lucky to have her service. Period."

I take responsibility for war, intel, etc. Not answering why Rice isn't held responsible.
Rice: honest, fabulous, we're lucky to have her services!!

.

Simply amazing. The man is an idiot.

is more like it.

King Chimp LOVES to spend money. First on coke and booze, now on death and destruction. I wonder if he has boxes of frogs brought into the White House, you know, for old time sake.

“I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course. Absolutely.”
...
"Dr. Condoleeza Rice is an honest, fabulous person and America is lucky to have her service. Period."

and dry drunk.

"Dr. Condoleeza Rice is an honest, fabulous person, and Amurka is lucky to have her."

“I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course. Absolutely.”
...
"Dr. Condoleeza Rice is an honest, fabulous person and America is lucky to have her service. Period."

it'd be good to get a copy before they edit it.

This one is getting very long and slow.

Fast enough for me!

.

The OMB has projected that the federal gov't will have budget deficits for as far as the eye can see.

Is not that prediction equivilant to a defacto bankruptcy of the US Government?

For training? Job search? Maybe moving to a new city?

Excuse me, but just how far would $3000 go toward re-training?

Ludicrous. If that's his best idea, we are screwed.

OMG... while I normally can't stand to listen to him for more than 2 minutes, for some reason everything about this is making me laugh, I think its the absurdity of it all. He is so frickin bad at this...
Why are there so many people who can't see through him?

that i keep harping on.
everyone sees it sitting there, but no one will mention it!

What a condescending SOB!!!

I can't take much more of him before I'm forced to run for the porcelain.

KICK his PASTY WHITE ASS, HELEN!

:shrug:
