Bush's press conference
I am forcing myself to watch the chimp's attempt at a press conference. Jesus, he is an embarassment. If he were to remove 'uh' from his speech pattern, he would be silent for 50 percent of the time. Each reporter is giving him thanks whenever called on. I don't remember hearing this courtesey from press conferences of past presidents. I wonder if it is more evidence of the beltway whores in action. I also wonder what the cable news outlets will tell those who may not have watched this sterling event. My guess is that the chimp will be a hero again. Tweety and Margaret Carlson will be all aflutter.

1. Is it true he accused the media od "beating the drums for war"?
I read elsewhere and can't believe. Tried watching, but my stomach lurched.

5. He went through the timeline of his
administration and the economy during each period. After the 9/11 period he talked about how every time he turned on the TV he saw "The March to War" and said that no one wants to take an economic risk with the threat of war hanging in the air.

2. smirk is stammering and slurring so much
it will be a challenge for editors to get a single decent soundbite out of the whole thing.

and perhaps, since he blamed the media for banging the war drums, they'll be pissed enough not to show him in such a favorable light.

4. Fell off the Wagon?
It almost sounds like he fell off the wagon and is drinking again.

7. press conf.
I don't know how the reporters will be able to report. He never answered a question that was asked, just kept up his rhetoric. This is the first time I have watched or heard him in quite a while. I become ill just looking at him. Someone should stage a play on Broadway based on this farce. I felt uncomfortable for everyone watching this charade. Then on C-span people were calling in FOR GW. I think we must all have been transported to another planet. We simply must not allow this man to continue to drag out nation down into the hole of unbelievability.
