"Sir..." "Who you talking to?" "Uh, Mr. President..."

Snippy has lost it! Are you watching this? He's cracked!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Edit to add alg0912's transcript of the remark (from post 14 below):

He was taking questions from reporters in NC when this exchange took place:

Bush: Who's the AP reporter?

AP reporter: Here...

Bush (with a sneer): ...then ask your question.

AP: Sir, what...

Bush (another sneer): Who are you talking to?

AP: I'm sorry... Mr President, what... (and asked his question)

Had the same thought right before I read your message.

He's in a strange state of shock.

Maybe it finally is dawning on him that Iraq is toast, the military deaths are going to skyrocket and (worst of all in Smirky's mind) he's a one term loser, just like Poppy

utter insane stumbling bumbling bullshit

He is a prescription pillhead, now that for illusion;s sake he can;t swill booze or snort coke.

Though I suspect he does those things occasionally, too.

Who would stop him? Who amongst the weak and lickspittles that pass for the "Free Press" :puke: would have the balls and bravery to report it, even if they had proof.

The ONLY person I have yet to see who hasn't caved to the Imperials is Clarke.

Not a good record if you are trying to guage whether we as a nation have the guts to Restore the Old Republic.

Not good indeed.

on TV?

The arrogant little AWOL appointed nobody.

It was so unbelievable that I had to run to the computer-- I knew someone else would be as disturbed as I am about this.

what a complete choad, what does he care or know about etiquette

The naked little emperor. They need to up his meds.

is the opposite of democracy.


Did I hear that correctly?

um, *george - think about it.

Don't they want to be free from our occupying forces?

I cannot believe he just did that! My heart sunk when I heard that because now I *know* this country is being run by a madman. The only word that came to mind was megalomaniac.

Remember when he was being asked the names of leaders of countries, and he kept trying to ask the interviewer 'do YOU know?' Classic narcissist - can't take any blame for anything done wrong, always tries to turn the focus on somebody else, always in a farting contest to see who's 'better'.

I'd love to see this, can anyone help me out? I'm in Asia and don't get to see much US programming on the tube.

www.whitehouse.gov

Or, try www.cspan.org

Just watch.....

We'll see

You should probably check tonight at www.c-span.org

I'm heading over to see what I can find. Thanks!

As close to a quote as I was able to scribble down quickly.

"I made the decision to let Condi testify because I was assured it would not interfere with executive privilege."

Ummm...wasn't the rationalization "national security" a few days ago? So, executive privilege is more important than an informed populace, more important than the truth, more important than national security even.

That has been their argument. Bush is speaking the subtext here. Executive privilege is what they will try to invoke next, when they are cornered like rats in a trap of their own damned lies.

the difference between those two..did he get the words out of his mouth without making a mess?

Isn't that some sort of perk from American Express?

I caught that!!! He was taking questions from reporters in NC when this exchange took place:

Bush: Who's the AP reporter?

AP reporter: Here...

Bush (with a sneer): ...then ask your question.

AP: Sir, what...

Bush (another sneer): Who are you talking to?

AP: I'm sorry... Mr President, what... (and asked his question)

What a sanctimonious ASS!!!

He also corrected a reporter who asked a question about his testifying before the 9/11 commission, saying, "we're not testifying, we're meeting with the commission."

I hate that son of a bitch sooooooo much! :grr::grr::grr:

Quick transcription! TIVO? Thanks!

The more trapped he is in his web of lies, the more imperious he gets.

...but you had me beat by a few minutes, so I deleted my own thread (comes in handy when you're a mod...:evilgrin:)

Thanks - can I add your transcript to the first post?

It's paraphrased a little bit, but be my guest! :thumbsup:

I'll see this on C-SPAN tonight. And of course, get angry about it.

Terry

It's his upbringing. That whole damn family thinks they are entitled to the White House. It has all the makings of a dynasty.

I despise that son of a bitch with every fiber of my being. And when I see the smirk, my hatred for him goes through the roof.

read Kevin Phillips, AMERICAN DYNASTY

this has been in progress for DECADES

I didn't see it, but it seemed odd he would ask "Who's the AP reporter"

...and, oddly enough, he went to AP before Faux. :wow:

The President?? He's not and never was, the little fucktard! He doesn't deserve the title and he didn't earn it. Now, Mr. Pretzeldent might be acceptable...

I HATE him so much I could explode!!! :mad: :nuke: :mad:

Who do you think should be appointed vp to become president?

Unless you mean Hastert can't handle it either.

...but a boob would be a HUGE step up from what we have now.

Who's next in line after that ?

The Medicare bribery thing?

I hope to God you are right, but I certainly haven't heard anything about this.

Something in TX.

Hastert is going down for the Medicare bribe offer.

AP reporter: Here...

Bush (with a sneer): ...then ask your question.

AP: Sir, what...

Bush (another sneer): Who are you talking to?

AP: I'm talking to you, fuckface! Jesus Christ...didn't you take your fucking Ritalin this morning?

Can you believe that POS? He wasn't even ELECTED to the office!!!

my life would be complete!

I think I would have responded more like

AP: Excuse me, your royal highness, for forgetting to kneel before you and avert my gaze.

and am curious, i dont get what happened.

what i saw that is a wow. he says, "what happened is cause of a group of people that are oppposed to freedom"

sucha duh opposite and he isnt called, they are fighting for their freedom, from his occupation

:)

i dont even get what he was talking about

could you post it...

Before the reporter could say two words Chimpy was chewing him out for not addressing him with the proper respect.

When you address the Queen you are not supposed to say Ma'am, you are supposed to say Your Highness. (I think!).

Chimpy has similar ambitions.

Busboy seemed eager to "put him in his place"...

But, who knows his reasoning?

credence to your idea. Maybe he was pissed at that guy or the AP for some reason and decided to have a little fun. Petty little piece of crap...

I think we'd grown accustomed to seeing powerful arrogance have the wisdom to hide behind a gracious mask.

But Bush, he puts it all out there. There's no mask.

"God made me President. Things would be easier if I were a dictator. I don't testify."

It's madness. Terrifying, in-your-fucking-face madness.

And he's sticking to that story. We'll see about that.

This is so indicative of the madness of this King George. It reminds me of that scene in the movie "A Few Good Men". When Navy lawyer Tom Cruise is questioning Jack Nicholson in the courtroom and Nicholson, acting as Colonel Jessup, goes into "command mode". Jessup tries to get Cruise to stand down by "pulling rank".

This scene from that movie is a classic on the bipolar mentality that a fascistic whacko has. Bush is obviously suffering from a similar disorder. He does not understand the "grey areas" of a democracy. Bush is losing his composure. Snapping at a reporter over a minor point of protocol when we are in the midst of a horrendous disaster like Iraq is a good sign that Bush is out of it.

Bush HAAATES the media!

Must air this snippet OVER AND OVER.

Anyone have a real contact over there?

I was watching one of his infrequent news conferences, somebody tried to follow up and Bush barked "you're done"

:O

Nobody challenged him, they all sat there like timid little subjects (that they are)

DISGUSTING.

To repeat the old tired phrase, "can you imagine if Clinton"....

I recall one time he was bumbling through an answer, long pauses and stuff, and the reporter started talking again during a pause. Bush* barked, "Let me finish!" The reporter apologized and shut up, and the little emperor fixed him with a death stare for several long seconds. Then he smirked and said sarcastically, "Thank you," and continued with his rambling.

I can't believe reporters supposedly LIKE this arrogant little jerk.

They're scared shitless that they'll lose their "access" if the dauphin gets his panties in a wad. They're all walking on eggshells.

Which makes perfect sense with this Chimp.

In those programs, one way to diagnose that you are in an unhealthy relationship with an alcoholic or someone else is that feeling of always having to "walk on eggshells" for fear that otherwise they will explode at you. Very sad that our free press is in the same circumstance.

the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree :P

edit for smilie

was "I'm done with you."

"I'm through with you!"


Yassum, BOSS.

I love that Mr. Repect mah AUTHORITAH! is the same one calling the reporters cutesy nicknames. If only they could answer back. "I'm sorry, Chimp, I meant to say..."

Didn't she say roughly the same thing to Al Franken when he gave her a wedgie or something? You're Done! or "I'm through with you" - something along those lines.

That family is having delusions of royalty much too frequently these days.

season of 2000, alas this season even the superthick double coating isn't working.

or a turd fly or something.

wow. i see what you are saying. and goes to the other media dude that said testify, and bush said meeting, and then media dude asked another question and said testimony, i mean meeting. i see, a wowo. hm, interesting. bah ha ha ha

I heard him ask the report, who are you talking to, and the reporter replied, Mr. President. I wanted to puke.

How can they keep defending that napolionic, narcissistic, insecure piece of shit???

And people say they can't understand why he* is so hated!

Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam, and this country needs a new President!

David Gergin is on CNN now and said he AGREES with TK (about the Vietnam analogy)! :wow:

Gergin also said that it doesn't bode well for Condi that both Kean and Hamilton said yesterday that 9/11 could've been prevented!!!

double-:wow::wow:

pre 9/11?
It was June of 2001, I think. AWOL was standing at a podium as was Chirac a few feet away. They're both fielding questions from the press..... A reporter says a sentence or 2 to Chirac in French. Seemed like some kind of greeting..... AWOL goes nuts. Says, "are you trying to show off?" to the reporter... and then says a sentence or 2 in.......... SPANISH..... to demonstrate his foreign language skills. Then says something like "See?" I can do that, too."

It was so childish and embarrassing.

I saw it on Imus last Fall. Astonishing piece of film.

I have no idea why he trots out that ignorant, horrible version of Spanish in public. He has enough Spanish to order fajitas and a cerveza, and that's about it. He would not be able to complete a sentence.

n/t

There are many people like that in Texas.

Wasn't that David Gregory? It was very telling.

I remember, cuz i was recovering froma hangover on the Jersey Shore. ;-)

GREGORY: I wonder why it is you think there are such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration? Why, particularly, there's a view that you and your administration are trying to impose America's will on the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the Middle East and where the war on terrorism goes next? And, Mr. President, would you maybe comment on that?
DUBYA: Very good. The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental.
GREGORY: I can go on.
DUBYA: I'm impressed -- que bueno. Now I'm literate in two languages.

-- Dubya taking time out of his busy schedule to belittle NBC News White House correspondent David Gregory, and employing his Spanish "prowess" to do so...

http://www.rense.com/general28/bushlaunches.htm (almost halfway down the page)

did Bush object to not being addressed "Mr. President"?

"Who you talking to??"

Like your worst nightmare Assistant Vice Principal.

The guy is ON EDGE. He has CRACKED.

I'm picturing the insane strongman in the Woody Allen movie. :scared:

Kennedy era was Camelot.

Bush is Bananas.

He asked the AP reporter to ask his question, and when the reporter said, "Sir...," Jackass sneered, "Who are you talking to?" The reported then said, "I'm sorry, Mr President..."

Can you imagine if Big Dog did such a thing? Of course not, he wouldn't have done such a thing because he has more class in his willie than Bush has in his entire FAMILY!

Try "Whom are you talking to?", shrub*.

"To whom are you talking?"

And I see others have explained it. So, nevermind.

as "Stretch." How about addressing people by their proper names?

"Turd Blossom." This is is his bestest asset, remember. Wotta guy!

His last nickname for O'Neill was "Big O."

That's what O'Neill said he calls Powell..and who can forget President Puti Poo.

Surprised he didn't nuke us for that!

That would be creepy seeing how I watch that. Since he is in bed by 8:00pm I think that he doesn't watch adult swim.

Of course most of them LOVED it, but there are some more reasonable people who think that addressing him as "sir" was respectful enough. Then there are those who will clean up for Bush* if he pooped in their corn flakes and they blame his rudeness on a "history" with that particular reporter-- it's always someone elses fault!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1111701/posts

I'm not Catholic, but I understand the Pope is supposed to be referred to as "Your Holiness" -- anybody else remember when Chimp called him "sir?" (And I don't recall the Pope saying, "Who are you talking to?")

But he didn't want to look bad by correcting the reporter a second time.

No doubt they called him that throughout his 40-year "youth."

Anyone found it yet?

Anybody here from there?

So people can see just how crazy that creep really is.

Looks like it might make another good "presidential moment" video clip for his show, e.g. Yawning Boy.

I wonder if it's too blatant for them. They go for more oblique weirdness.

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
April 5, 2004

Remarks by the President to the Travel Pool
Central Piedmont Community College-Central Campus
Charlotte, North Carolina

11:31 A.M. EDT

<snip>

Let me ask you a couple of questions. Who is the AP person?

Q I am.

THE PRESIDENT: You are?

Q Sir, in regard to --

THE PRESIDENT: Who are you talking to?

Q Mr. President, in regard to the June 30th deadline, is there a chance that that would be moved back?

<snip>

My God, what an arrogant idiot that man is!

There wasn't much there before but now it is all gone. Ambulance!

Thanks for the transcript!

I think the "you are" might have been another solicitation of proper address. Was he hinting for "I am, SIR"?

Isn't the whole concept of democracy that the POTUS and the housewife and the bricklayer are all EQUALS?

In a democracy, the President of the United States works for us. As are the members of Congress.

But since this isn't a democracy (a plutocracy, IMO), that fell by the wayside a long time ago.

Terry

Play this exchange have Kerry explain in a brief sentence in Boston we fought off being ruled by a monarcy. End it with Kerry saying " I am John Kerry I want to work for you!

Q Mr. President, can you just tell me -- the 9/11 Commission, the Chairman yesterday, Governor Kean, said a date had been set, I think, for your testimony and the Vice President's. Is that --

THE PRESIDENT: I would call it a meeting.

Q A meeting, I'm sorry.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.

Q Has that date been set, and could you share it with us? And number two, can you tell us the rationale as to why you have chosen to testify or rather meet with them with the Vice President?

THE PRESIDENT: First of all, it will be a great opportunity from them to ask both of us our opinions on the subject. And we're meeting with the entire commission. I'm not exactly sure what the status is of putting out the date. I told them I'd meet with them at a time that's convenient for all of us, and hopefully we'll come to that date soon.

I look forward to sharing information with them.

That's standard. Whoever the AP reporter is that day gets to ask the first question. But let me ask -- was this a few questions after a photo-op? What was the scene? Not a real press conference, I take it?

there's no such thing as lese-majesty in this country because we dont have a king.

The reporter could at least have said, "I'm talking to YOU! Whom do you THINK I'm talking to?"

It is very lifelike, but not as good as the Lincoln model.

2nd Column, 2nd video under World News......

Thanks Jack, I hope Jon Stewart gets a hold of it too.

the asshole--he sits in on meetings, hears a few catch words, then comes out and pretends he knows what is going on. He is a dumbass. And, this display of abject rudeness to the AP reported is a sign that all the criticism of his testifying with Cheney holding his hand, is getting to his inflated, mano mano ego. This is his puny and bullying attempt to right that image as himself as Cheney's Charlie McCarthy
\
This man is humiliated--good--keep humiliating him--he deserves every bit of it.

He rolled his eyes in utter disbelief that a cretin dared address him as "sir" rather than as caeser.

This man needs to go....

http://reuters.feedroom.com/ifr_main.jsp?st=1081201285875&rf=bm&mp=WMP&wmp=1&rm=1&cpf=true&fr=040504_054555_17d5d2axfbbb1d5cfaxw32b9&rdm=718746.3554492333#frtop

This is how I've always imagined he would leave office: stumbling, bumbling, stuttering, wild-eyed, half-crazy.

His ego isn't just a tad too big, is it?

She doesn't ask, "Who are you talking to?"

:crazy:

When I was lucky to briefly meet President Clinton, I called him Mr. President.

If I was to meet ANY other President, I'd call them Mr. President.

After what I saw today, I would NEVER call the Chimp Mr. President.

NEVER. He doesn't DESERVE that term of respect.

What a pompous, arrogant ass. He truly fancies himself as royalty.

maybe I would call him Mr. President at that time.

What an ASSCLOWN!

I won't charge you for it, George.

Good Job!

:thumbsup:

Whenever you get distracted for brief while and forget that this cretin is the commander-in-chief, you always get pulled back to reality HARD, like this latest incident.

I shake my head with shame, embarrassment, anger and incredulity that *this* is America's chief executive.

Wish the footage of Shitstain kvelling over mass murder could be found and played as often as we heard about the 'Dean scream.'

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/allnews/page.cfm?objectid=12761184&method=full&siteid=50143

Later, just seconds before he went on TV to tell the world war had started, he vigorously pumped his fist and declared: "I feel good." The extraordinary gesture was in stark contrast to the furrowed brow and look of concern he adopted for the subsequent broadcast.

http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/03/03/21_groom.html

As reported in the Washington Post, the White House is quite peeved that video of Bush getting groomed and acting jolly was broadcast prior to his "we're bombing Iraq" announcement:

The White House is vowing a strong retaliatory response after the BBC aired live video of President Bush getting his hair coiffed in the Oval Office as he squirmed in his chair and practiced on the teleprompter minutes before Wednesday night's speech announcing the launch of military operations against Saddam Hussein.

All of these clips will be used in the future for students of psychiatry to understand megalomania.

We have a walking talking Caligula!!

Wish someone could get the original BBC outtakes and spread them around.

Do you hear me?
SOCIOPATHIC.
Utter contempt for his "subjects."
That's you and me.
We are NOTHING to them.
He is a meglomaniac- a sociopath-
grasp what this means- our future is in HIS hands
and the plan is not good.
We are DOOMED if we do not get this man
out of office.
BHN

people that he works for. After all he is only our temp help.

Some one seriously needs to put this arrogant little piss ant in his place!

There'd be a two-hour special called, "Why Clinton Thinks He's an Emperor".

panting, out of breath. What an ARROGANT JERK.

"Never mind, you just gave me my story."

And then write about what an a$$hole bush is......

In .08 nano seconds, they can read his Swiss Cheese Brain and go

"OH OH" .

Damn. He is an embarassment

Did I miss anything?

:hi:

xx
S

what a little prick this arrogant ass could be? If he's losing it like this in public, he must really be throwing some hellacious tantrums with the reporters gone and the cameras off.

He's a testy little fuck.

And this is emblematic of his public life as well. You can infer his private behavior from this, but also consider how he projects this sickness out to the whole world in terms of the policies he favors.

Remember they told us he wouldn't really be in charge? But nobody considered the possibility of all the infighting, and that he might actually have to choose between the rivals. 9/11 played right into the neo-cons' hands by evoking a strident, terrified belligerence in the Chimp. He was primed to do as they said.

from Suskind's recent book:

In the book, O'Neill says the tone of his relationship with Bush was set at their very first meeting where he was offered the job of Treasury Secretary.

Instead of a detailed discussion, Bush was more interested in why the cheeseburgers he had ordered were slow to appear. He interrupted the talk to summon White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card.

"You're the chief of staff. You think you're up to getting us some cheeseburgers?" O'Neill recalled Bush saying. "Card nodded. No one laughed. He all but raced out of the room."

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/01/14/1073877878127.html

Card is no ordinary minion. He's been a Bush loyalist for decades, and is credited along with Sununu as being instrumental in pulling Poppy's nuts from the fire and ensuring his New Hampshire primary win. No Card, no Bush Presidential Dynasty. That's the guy GeeDub brusquely ordered to see to his cheeseburgers.

The feel such revulsion when I read stuff like this. I feel phsyically ill.

who the fuck do you think i m talkin to...i m the only one here!!
