Oh my Gosh... BUSH* IS GOING TO TALK FOR 17 MINUTES BEFORE

PRESS CONFERENCE. Yuck.....

he's having to make last minute additions.

from selected press members. He will answer from rehearsed questions and the difficult questions, he'll channel answers by earpiece from uncle daDick.

Turn TV on at 8:47, not 8:30.

only a few foreign insurgents, stay the course, trust, America, future, hope.

Snooze.

about the "planted WMD's"

Norah O. on MSNBC just said that Bush will speak for up to 18 minutes!!!!!!!

We may have a new defintion for the "18 minute gap"!!!!

If he really does this ... it's going to be a diaster. Can you imagine the Washington press corp having to sit still under those hot lights for nearly 20 minutes before they're even allowed to ask questions?

TYY

We know he isn't literate. He'll embarrass the neo-cons. He has such a short attention span, that five minutes into the speech his mind will lose focus and then he will start straying from the script. He'll start dropping a few 'Bushisms' into his statements and the whole nation will get a change to see why we need regime change in this country.

His opening remarks last SEVENTEEN minutes, then he's taking rehearsed questions for TWELVE minutes, and we're still calling this a fucking PRESS CONFERENCE?

It's a campaign speech with a short question and answer session. This NOT a press conference.

model of the bush-speak decoder ring.

No need to listen to lies. Tune in late!!!

bush hates her so he will not call on her. She's never part of the staged questions.

Haven't all presidents from Ike to Clinton endured/enjoyed her tough questions, until Bush?

If it went 18 1/2, they'd have to exhume Rosemary Woods.

I could almost recite this upcomming press conference from memory before it even transpires...?

one extra "uh" by my count....

So less time for questions.

I think I'd actually rather grade freshman physics papers. Or maybe even sit in the dentist's chair again.

bush must reasure that Iraq is going hunky dawry.

Happy he finished a sentence and completely amused with himself.

<EOM>

this is being treated like a soap opera. It is totally disgusting how the TV media is playing it up.

Almost seven hundred of our children have died in Iraq, and thousands upon thousands of innocent Iraqi old men, women, babies and children have been murder by this prick, and he emerges on national TV as a soap opera character.

Sure they play this up as a "crisis" for Bush--of course he will emerge unscathed and the entire pathetic performance will be praised and he will have conquored the "crisis"

Clearly, says the news babe, this is a crucial event for this stupid man.

This is American brohahah and it would be amusing if not so many have died at the hands of this clown.

What is he saying. My TV is on Mute.
