What a MEANINGLESS press conference!

It's all a rerun. And Bush doesn't seem to be able to feign any enthusiasm for any of his "announcements" either.

Can't see him though - I'm listening on the radio.

...I cannot wait until Fitzgerald announces....

Since he's known him for a long time also

says bush--

:shrug: Man,that guy is a real idiot.

Yes, the Delay story is good, but I keep checking here and on the news for an announcement. It is akin to waiting for a letter of acceptance from college or a job offer.

Is Harriet Miers the most qualified person in the country to sit on the Supreme Court? Uh, yeah, sure.

Now running the clock for going on three minutes.

their special interest groups.

I hope he's seeing a whole teams of psychiatrists. It could save our lives.

lol

...who cares :sarcasm:

NOTHING. Same as all his other little "press conferences". What a phucking idiot....Uh....Uh..shit,a two year old can string sentences together better than he does. God,he makes me sick. :puke:

Come to think of it, I don't remember ever hearing any kind of human emotion at all in any words he has ever said.

All he does is stand up and read, horribly.

And you get the sense, when Bush speaks, that he is a 12 year old who is giving a book report for something he didn't read, and he just wants to hurry through it so it will be over with and he can go back to his seat.

:argh:

Did you shy away from a fight? Isn't this more cronyism?

Blah, blah, blah. Qualified. I'm upbeat. I picked the best person I could find. Nothing about cronyism.

Somebody re-asked about cronyism, I think. So he's going to go on again about strength of character, blah, blah. "Shares my philosophy." Will anyone ask him what that philosophy is?

Keeps on talking but says nothing.

Which are the social programs, the veterans programs, benefit cits! And calling for relaxation of environmental standards so they can build new refineries and expand existing ones.

That was what he was there to say.

"I picked the best person I could find."
"I picked the best person I could find."
"I picked the best person I could find."
"I picked the best person I could find."

:rofl:

His voice is breaking and he just rubbed his nose.

battalon troops. did you not how Jr scringed!!

That's what he said - he's never had an abortion conversation with Miers or anyone else he's considered for the bench. Fucking LIAR. :mad:

20 yrs from now she will have been a judge.
This guy is not with it. I wonder what medications he is really on?

Kelly won't give up.... there goes the jaw!!!

Did you see his look?? It was like "oh boy how I am going to bullshit this one??" Now he's smirking his answer away...there's no energy coming out of him... like he doesn't believe any of his answers...

no one will notice that the chimperor has no answer.

"I have no litmus test." Okay, Stupidhead. But have you ever discussed the issue of abortion with her? Cutting off the questioner so he can talk about character again. Looking very pissypants.

Claims he's never discussed abortion ever with any of his nominees.

what a freaking idiot.

OMG...

Military says the Iraqis have one battle-ready battalion; Bush says there are 30 battle-ready battalions, and 80 military battalions all told. Avoiding the question. Is the military right about one battle-ready battalion, or are you right when you say there are 30?

"The fella in Baghdad." His name is Saddam Hussein, George. Unca Rummy has his name on some receipts in a shoe box.

just asked a question about finding money that we don't have for disaster spending.

:-(

"Harriet's got strength of character, and that's important to me."

Obviously, we should know by now that "strength of character" has a very diffrent meaning for he Coward than anyone else.

in regard to Iraqi battalion lies?

Moran asking for specific cuts and revenue measures.

"We are at war. We'll make sure they have what it takes to succeed."

Getting stuck on the words discretionary and non-discretionary. Lying his ass off about how he's cut spending. "Substantial offsets," but no specifics. Throwing out the numbers: $187 billion, $20 billion, no clue that he understands the numbers at all.

Now going to Social Security and Medicare. Grinning and stammering.

huh?

It seemed to me it was the conservatives that wanted a fight more than the dems. He is always ready to pick a fight with the dems.

Yet, he is a "Uniter".

this is torture. :puke:

I'll give him that

Whether he is a moron or intellectually lazy (I vote both)
He is an embarrassment.

Question about Valerie Plame investigation. If someone in your administration is indicted--

Cuts off the question. "Let the process run its course."

Truly disturbing.

I really don't think I can take 3.5 years more of this.

this is interesting. dubya is taking real questions. is kkkarl sick again?

those he put in place not himself.

How are you gonna get out of here...FAST!!!!

Don't let him get away with it April. we all know he's full of shit.

she has to be an intellectual trainwreck, JCAM

You said your administration fucked up. Anything that you personally fucked up on? (Paraphrase)

Back to pissypants look. Once again, it's everyone else's fault: Local officials, FEMA, "a lot of analysis going on."

"I'll take all the responsibility for failures at the federal level."

Dickhead would answer.

Did he go through some training so he can keep his thoughts straight?? I think he messed up though and said thirdly and didn't say 2nd...what an ass...

I do not know why I am punishing myself watching this guy. What a douchebag. Seriously, what a douchebag.

2005"

Cites the Bible for taking care of the least. What is the Bush administration doing about that?

Bush yammers about "bridging divides" and "small business" and "ownership." No explanation for how someone without a job, without hope, without money can "own" anything.

On to education, but I'm going to guess he's not going to talk about funding. Yep, NCLB, but nothing about its failures. "We're measuring." Faith-based. Hope. Mentoring. Yadda, yadda, yadda.

No wonder blacks aren't exactly flocking to the Bush banner.

But he "understands" the problem. Heh, heh, heh.

He says he was disappointed he did not get it. Whined about the condeliars and the powells on the cabinet, "ah appointed people" as though he should have gotten vots just for that.

What a disgusting thing he is.

"I've done all I can for you people, hell what the fuck more do y'all want?"

it took him to memorize that?

That's what I think everytime I hear him say that. :)

I CANNOT STAND HIM

god help us...

Disappointed that the African American community didn't vote more for him. Jaw swiveling like a mechanical bull in a redneck bar.

on a tangent

I can almost imagine I am watching...but not as nauseous.

omg it is distracting.

What's the big schmeal? We did a study and found out that that's what those people consider a lot of money. Okay, he didn't actually say that, but it was there.

He always has been - this is nothing new.

And now he's on adderall (the rainbow sherbert of time-release meth) to give him at least a tiny bit of focus in the morning and it's making his blood pressure a little trippy which he's compensating for with a self-induced "flat" effect, and back to incomprehensible in the afternoon.

Throughout history puppets have been favored over strong leaders precisely because they are so easily manipulated into giving away the treasury to their "cronies" (handlers), and then losing their heads when people figure things out. This is nothing new - we've seen this video before, we know how it ends.

And fifteen or so years from now when he does finally get around to croaking, we'll have another Ronald Reagan national paroxysm of crocodile tears, endless memorializing, and he will enter history in the good company of all the other corrupt incompetent Republican presidents who preceded him.

otherwise I will be into the tequila before 11:AM.

:puke:

Get it through your head, ninny.

Can he find a new word other than "hunt."

Avoiding the question. Now on to "Stretch." Uh oh, leak investigation question.

Jaw flexing madly. Not discussing the case publicly or privately.

the story would be:

Was the President drunk,on something,slurring his words?

He is making no sense except in short bursts. The majority of this press conference is a rambling stream of consciousness disaster

Is he there?

Probably why they scheduled the news conference today...

And your hypothesis, unfortunately, has much merit.

David Gregory is in New York City filling in for Matt Lauer.

of what he talks about if he only sees the problem as 'short term"!!

"Heh, heh, heh. Plenty."

Hey, we're apparently still at war. "We're gonna win in Iraq." Energy. The storm. Refineries. Bubble in the system (ding! Today's phrase that pays). Bubble moving through the system. Wise about how we use energy. We got tight energy supplies. Increase supply. Build refineries.

Oddly enough, he keeps citing no new refineries but nothing about Big Oil's record profits and how they're plowing all that money into their own pockets instead of refineries. Asshole.

Social Security isn't going away. "I've convinced the American people that social security has a problem." Well, you've fooled some of the people all of the time.

"Yes. I'm very concerned about that. Thank you for your question."

Cites a book about the 1918 influenza epidemic. I don't believe for a second he's ready any book anywhere whatsoever. This question looks like a plant.

Apparently the military is going to nuke the flu virus.

He was "Commander in Chief" of the Texas National Guard??

WTF??

an avian flu expert? help.

other countries in dealing with this issue.

He is rattling off info like I've never seen..."from bird to person to person..."

Maybe the meds kicked in...and he woke up...

Commander in Chief of Texas Nat'l Guard

Megalomania showing itself?

of the statement. I'll be interested in seeing the transcript and video later.

Because he's talking a mile a minute and his jaw is popping back and forth.

Not that he's saying anything substantive, but he is stringing words together better than usual.

He's also mugging and grinning and oozing his version of "charm".


I actually think he looks better than I've seen him look in weeks, in terms of energy and skin tone.

Maybe he had a massage or a good night's sleep or something.

Whatever it is, I'm sure the MSM will conclude that he's got his groove back.

BOY i feel a whole hell of a lot safer...dont you?!

could enforce a quarantine of a major city?

that's the one he was prepared to answer. He's gone on about it for over 5 minutes.

withregard to avaian flu

It is as if he's HEARD of it and isn't that just swell!!!

See- I DO READ THE NEWSPAPERS

process of Meirs nomination.

talks about how important it is to maintain ep for wh "crisp decisions".

Insane.

And President Bush is doing a GREAT JOB!!

Yes, he is, and President Bush is in charge of this whole nc. He is Commander!

freep: The president is doing an EXCELLENT job answering this question about the bird flu.

told him who the federal reserve chairman is yet!

Press conferences with him are like watching a train wreck.

For once he wasn't lying.

What he meant was "protect me and my daddy".

Fucking hypocrit.... :grr:

took a shot at Miers

info--"executive privilege"--so we could see more on how Miers thinks.

He's stuttering and stammering around. Says "executive privilege" is not going to happen

I'm about to ram a pencil in my ear...he's so embarrasing...

is that she DUDDINT change over time"

hmmmmmm.....:eyes:

couple of 'thoughts' and just keeps 'repeating' them

on Harriet Miers over and over:
'she's a pioneer, she managed a law firm, she's a smart woman, knows her stuff, very consistent in her approach to law...trust me"

I liked the question about 'and why is your bar for judicial experience LOWER for a woman than it is for a man in this position?' (NY Post Debra Orrin, I think)

up in the investigation; the shrub said they wouldn't be welcome in his admin, but they're waiting for the results to be produced. That's this a.m., subject to change I'm sure.

Of course he gave a non-answer. "Lets let the process play out!"

People might say "where's my fine china and art work?"

Yeah, he is thinking about the poor! :sarcasm:

e.o.m.

that

over his left shoulder is the guy that was sitting to the left of Brownie during the Fema hearings... Who the HELL is that guy?

He was back there yucking it up to blivet's ** question.

WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUY?

Sounds like he was sitting near Card and the other WH hacks.

wasn't Tenet. So, who the hell is he?

I would like to know who he is as well.

I don't think he's a lawyer. I believe he is one of the WH pr stooges, probably assigned to try to keep Brownie in check on the day of the hearing.

this buffoon is. It's all ropadopa stupidity. God Damn he's dumb.

were all going to have solar energy units on our houses soon and that were still helping the downtrodden private sector with those tax cuts. This idiot has destroyed us.

guess they will have a panel on their cardboard box.

don't need no solar collector just take your shirt off and enjoy.

Harris had said * seemed "drained" earlier, while talking to Joe Johns.

There were a few remarks I wanted to check, and I can't bear to watch the video again, though it's on CNN's website.
