Andy Card finds the Downing Street Memo question funny!
<<SNIP>>
http://www.newshounds.us/2005/06/08/andy_card_let_us_in_on_the_joke.php



Andy Card, let us in on the joke!
The previous entry details a question about the Downing Street Memo posed to Bush and Blair at yesterday's 6/7/05 news conference, seen on Fox at the beginning of The Big Story.
As "Steve" began asking the question, White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card broke into a large grin. He turned to the man on his left, who by this shot had ducked forward, said something and appeared to chuckle. The man in front of the two had his mouth covered but it was obvious he was smiling behind his hand.


What could be so funny?

<</SNIP>>

I noticed that too when watching... I love it how Bush and his corrupt crew find this to be so funny! They truly have no respect. Plus them laughing just makes them look more guilty, IMO.

1. Look how Rice is staring daggers at Steve! If you watch the video
she is still staring at him after he asks the question while Blair starts to respond.

13. Rice: "Nobody could have imagined that someone would leak
those minutes."

Condi needs to deal with her anger. She's always frowning.

2. 1682 senseless deaths in Iraq
That's funny? How cruel and evil these people are. Thousands of Iraqis killed. Their country being destroyed. That's funny? Will these rethugs never ever be held accountable??

3. IMHO, it probably means they prepped for the question
and that all their "hard work" spinning the answer payed off

4. What I don't understand
is...when Blair answered the question, he pointed out that the memo was written before they went to the UN. WTF? I don't understand his logic that this is proof that they were trying to resolve the matter peacefully.

What it proves to ME is that he confirmed that the decision had already been made, and that they went to the UN to follow protocol...crossing their T's, dotting the I's.

Can someone explain where I'm not hearing correctly?:think:

5. Hopefully it is hysteria
Card is a true proctologists dream. Even worse, he fits in perfectly with the rest of that crowd. I have at least 1677 resounding "fuck yous" Andy.

in the closet.

9. He's happy the question went to Blair so Bush can piggyback on Blair's
answer.

16. You seem cynical?
Remember this document made the front pages in the UK, and hurt Blair's numbers. If it was a fake, wouldn't it come out then?

18. Did Clinton need all those nanny's watching him for a press conference?
I understand the idea of having a show of your cabinet at some functions but my gawd! I wonder who had the "END IT NOW" hand signal this time around?
