David Gregory: Bush has occasional outbursts of temper 'all the time'

At least words to that effect.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

n/t

I guess the MSM forgot to mention it up till now.

At this point, it probably wouldn't take much to set him off.

Maybe a photo op "gone wrong..."

He's too drugged.

n/t

a possibility.

Hell no! It takes 3 days for his freaking meds to KICK in.

Our best bet: we submit the WH for consideration to Nanny 911 & let Nanny Deb whup his sorry ass. He'll have to be on camera 24/7 and within two days he'll have sat in the naughty chair so damnned long he'll hopefully have blood-clot related problem.

control himself any longer.

He just covers it up with a phony laugh and arrogance, you can see he's livid.

Did anyone see the time when a reporter asked if his entourage would get in the way of the NO recovery process (3rd time down I guess)? He was done taking question at that point, it was an off the cuff comment a reporter made while Chimp was leaving the mic. He spun around so quickly you though you just witnessed Linda Blair in the exorcist, and reprimanded the reporter with his shoulder jerk arrogant laugh and some wise ass comment.
It was obvious he was pissed off.

You can definitley tell it at times when he does press conferences and stuff.

Someone here had a link to a video. Asshat had just come out of a meeting with some mothers who'd lost kids in Iraq. He was trying to play all sympathetic and moved. A reporter asked him a question, and he snarled at the person for referring to him as "sir," as opposed to "Mr. President."

Remember the first debate against Kerry when he mugged like a teenager listening to a lecture from a parent?

:shrug: Body language speaks volumes.

are they?

He said it very matter of factly but knew exactly what he was intimating imho.

Bit of a contradiction, that!

"Occasionally" or "all the time"? LOL

That helps me.

If it wasn't occasional it wouldn't be irregular.

(props to George Carlin)

these little outbursts are becoming more frequent. On the other hand, I think the machine is preparing to make it look like Bush is at a distance from the fellows facing indictment. The off the cuff comment to a media source that Cheney may have been too involved in the pre-war intelligence is suspicious.

And the Niger forgery is suddenly being blamed on an Italian opperative not linked to Michael Ledeen. It will be interesting how far Fitzgerald's investigation goes into the rational for war.
I don't think the revelation of Bush temper tantrums will help him in any way though.

the plots and strategies (or strateegeries) are remarkably transparent. Of course, that's nothing new.

So, tomorrow? Wednesday? Will Fitzgerald put us out of our misery soon?

:popcorn:

This is the most fun democrats have had since the first debate last year. Of course, the results are going to be much better.

The NYTimes will report that Cheney told Libby about Plame (there is a thread reporting this). Guess the pressure is on!

If I were to speculate, I'd say the grand jury will meet again tommorow, in an "unscheduled" meeting not unlike that last Thursday. If I were a hungry young reporter, I'd be at that courthouse. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that shortly after the lunch hour, a couple gentlemen will leave the court to deliver some messages.

or, rather, inadequate word choice. :eyes:

I should have clarified the misery was from waiting and anticipating.

I'm stocking up on schadenfreud (even if I can't spell it) as much as the next DUer and will certainly be celebrating as soon as the announcement is made.

:cheers:

P.S. I would wager you are a bit of a betting man. ;-)

thread title: NYT: Cheney Told Aide of C.I.A. Officer, Notes Show

(I can't resist adding that it was posted by "Cheney Killed Bambi.")

Who'd a thunk it!

'care what we think', now? :evilgrin:

as opposed to being consistently angry all the time.

He consistantly has erratic outbursts of anger all the time!

like the day Nixon shoved Ron Ziegler hard enough to nearly knock him down. That happened in front of the press at San Clemente… a sign the Old Man was cracking up.

We'll see Bush drunk or pissed on camera. (maybe both).

He doesn't seem to deal well with adversity and he's facing it from all sides, including his poppy's friends. Not a good scenario for him.

The flood gates are opening. :bounce:

at his next press conference a reporter should say

"mr bush have you started drinking again?"

that oughta do the job.

"And, can you really blame him?"

Don't you wish one of them WOULD ask that?

Narcissistic personality disorder

Outbursts of anger is one of several traits.

A narcissistic individual is grandiose in their sense of self-importance and exaggerates their achievements and talents. He expects to be recognized as superior without achieving any great accomplishments.

A narcissistic individual is preoccupied with fantasies of his brilliance as well as his unlimited success or power. He fantasizes about beauty or ideal love.

A narcissistic individual believes that he is "special" or "unique." He feels that he can only be understood by or should associate with other special or high status people.

A narcissistic individual requires excessive admiration and is on a constant search for admiration.

A narcissistic individual has a sense of entitlement. He has unreasonable expectations of favorable treatment and expect others to automatically comply with his wishes.

A narcissistic individual takes advantage of others to achieve his own ends and uses others without regards to the feelings of others.

A narcissistic individual lacks empathy and does not identify with the feelings or needs of others.

A narcissstic individual is envious of others and believes that others are envious of him.

A narcissistic individual shows arrogant or haughty behaviors or attitudes and does not care who he offends.

check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check, check

Bush is a Sociopath who also has Narcissistic Personality Disorder....

He matches all the characteristics...and so do his actions....

:sarcasm:

for a gooood long time. At least ones at which he fields questions.

Not only is he a dolt, he's an unpleasant ass to boot. (end this plague upon our mighty nation, oh lord)

Just the way it goes. If you don't have a secure container for vital parts of your nature like your emotions and you hold them down, they boil out from time to time.

he asked him if he was getting in the way of hurricane relief workers......bush snapped back around like he was gonna belt Gregory

this as a photo op?" He then wenty on with a pretty hard interview for MSM with some ot the "workers" (conscripted) trying to hide their faces.

If W's excuse for not knowing about the ouiting of Plame is that he's insane, I'm sure the RW will back him up.

when he flipped off the press a while back. Then they cover for him.
tib

she's new to our office but seems to have a very low opinion of him. he never bothered to learn the women's names. always called them 'gals'.

maybe she'll mention his temperament sometime.

many many many failures to a gaggle of librul press.

Makes a feller wanna head back to the ranch and clear brush.

David Gregory is not taking any crap from this administration these days, is he? Good for him. I hope his colleagues follow his lead in tougher questioning.

"Sunny Nobility?"

the spoiled little brat who wanted everything and wanted it now--so sad went down the rotten egg chute!!!!! Daddy(aides) trying to appease her (him).

up his xanax dose and cut back on the methamphetamine and blow.

that would pay a person to catch one of these on tape.

With the power of his position, theres no reason to do so.

... and shameful. He routinely rebukes junior staffers for minor indiscretions (such as when a reporter's cell phone goes off, and Mr. Bush blames his aides ... as if they were supposed to frisk everyone entering the room). As you say, he doesn't need to yell at people or discipline them. And in his position as Head of State, it's really undignified and unprofessional to do that. I have never seen Queen Elizabeth II disrespecting her staff on camera -- there are certain things which just aren't done. I find it unsettling that he enjoys doing it so much.

In contrast, Clinton and Gore liked using their positions to make people feel special and respected. If they were handing out awards, or visiting schools, or thanking citizens -- they were aware of how much this meant to a lot of people, and good manners were part of that role.

to keep him away from the press briefings, like they always do now.

by merely saying the Plame matter is an ongoing investigation that needs to play itself out. If the investigation gets completed and the hammer of justice comes down on Rove et al. with indictments and the beginnings of criminals trials, Bush is going to be increasingly pressed to come up with comments and answers. I don't think he's going to have an easy time keeping his cool as the press (hopefully) gets bolder and more insistent. Of course he might dispense with press conferences altogether, as he has nearly done anyway.

Wow. So I wonder if it's really true.

burst of insight.

here's my honor of him in cartoon form

Send it to Gregory. I bet he'd love it.

Helen Thomas is good too. I imagine her sometimes as a little old lady beating the crap out of Scott with her umbrella. :rofl:

This week is Plame Game, and I'm taking on Judith "Judas" Miller, Libby, Rove, Cheney, and Bush.

:grr:

He's as nasty as his mother. Doesn't make for much of an excuse, though, does it? :rofl:
