Anyone have a link to *'s statements to the press after the "testimony"?

I see a lot of threads here about some of the inane things he said (Cheney answered "all" the questions? Thinks Al Qaeda is NOT in the country?...).

It was apparently on the CSPAN live feed, but I just missed it.

Anyone?

1. Actually, he said he didn't know if Al Q was in the country.

Unless someone Tivo-ed it, there won't be a transcript soon. I wasn't going to watch, but like a moth drawn to the deadly flame...

7. Thanks for the link. Sounds like a rehearsed speech to me.

Also pretty sad he had to admit he "fell into" the presses trap. :dunce:

An intelligent, on the ball, leader NEVER does that!

12. He has become increasingly hostile towards the press during his tenure

He seems to think of them as adversaries, whereas Bill (IMHO) seemed to see them as outlets for his opinions, as potential resources rather than annoyances to be avoided.

And yes, I think it has something to do with his lack of 'brains'.

14. Yes! Except I don't really want the Shrub to have a second term...

Just so we can impeach him. He'd find some way to weasel out of it anyway.

16. I think if it gets to that point...

Edited on Thu Apr-29-04 02:13 PM by AZCat

Bush* would do something like the Johnson speech in '68. Their convention isn't until September, so they have a bit of time.

I think the Repub. congress would hold off in that case, using some sort of 'good for the people' excuse.

Or even worse, they'd repeat the classics: "get over it," "We're past that," "let's move on."

8. "The page cannot be displayed"

Too much traffic or has it been scrubbed already?

9. "As I say, I came away good about the session,"

I came away GOOD about the session?
Boy, I hope I come away good after the election in November.
