1. * calls on reporter who's wearing sunglasses (they're outside).
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 04:18 PM by CottonBear
Bush* makes fun of sunglasses and tells reporter to take them off and tells the audience it's not even sunny. Reporter responds to a Bush* question re: sunglasses with "it's about...perspective." Reporter was too classy (or maybe afraid of being disappeared to Gitmo) to tell Bush* that reporter is legally blind. Stupid press corps goes along with Bush* humiliating the reporter and the USA by laughing nervously. Bush* is later told about his blunder and allegedly called the reporter to apologize. (God knows how he further humiliated the poor reporter.)

edit: This is the CB paraphrase version of the events.

Here's a link to Sandra Bernhard ripping into Bush* re: sungalsses rudeness on the view and wingnut, survivor chick gets outraged that anyone would diss her pretzledent.

5. "I'm sorry" or "I apologize"
are two phrases I can't ever imagine coming out of his petulant insecure little mouth.

6. Re:
That fits in with what I read in * on the Couch. Namely, that our "President" is a sadist. He makes fun of people like this - has been for a long, long time.
