Brian Williams Says Bush Animated and Aggravated

http://dailynightly.msnbc.com/

As is the custom prior to a major speech (normally the State of the Union and select others), the White House today invited a small group of broadcast journalists to the Roosevelt Room for a briefing, which was mostly with national security types... until the President walked in, unescorted. Tim Russert and I calculated that he was with us for just over an hour. He was forceful, animated and at times aggravated by the current state of the debate over Iraq. While the conditions of the conversation do not allow for direct quotation, we can certainly reflect the President's thinking when we come on the air tonight. Upon exiting the West Wing, I phoned one particular detail into MSNBC: Toward the end I asked the President if he'd seen the Saddam Hussein execution video. He said he had, and when I asked where it "ranked" (among the mistakes of the war) he indicated it was just below Abu Ghraib in terms of damage -- meaning slightly less damaging. The President also noted the damage done at Haditha.

It was, as I discussed with Brit Hume on my way down the West Wing driveway, an energetic and muscular tour of the world that the President gave us today. It was full of detail, but delivered in plain language. It is safe to report that the President is acutely mindful of the position this speech puts him in, and the position his policy puts him in. He sees the numbers. One thing he refuses to discuss is the notion of a "what if/plan B" backup. He says he is, in this instance, all about this portion of the mission. It is clear he is ready for a fight, and ready to take his argument to the people if opponents start tinkering with the machinery of war funding. In repeated bows to realism, the President indicated the patience of the United States is not limitless -- while he strongly indicated that generations of Americans would pay a heavy price should we retreat now. As for the other material we learned, Tim and I will take a moment and go through, on the air tonight, our joint recollections of today's session at the White House.

Yay! I can't wait to see... first time ever I can say that.

He sure looks that way to me all the time!

Good to see you and your sense of humor here:)

get all moist talking about his experience with *. Was there a happy ending Brian?

Read into that whatever you wish!

That's code for cocaine.

:hi:

So he's ready for his impeachment then? Geez, they said he "sees the numbers", how does he think the people will react? But then again, maybe he's talking about his people.

He's equating HIMSELF with the USA ("In repeated bows to realism, the President indicated the patience of the United States is not limitless") and he reamains in denial ("while he strongly indicated that generations of Americans would pay a heavy price should we retreat now").

He's truly a madman.

I've underestimated the man...

Looks like that "small group of journalists" was, in reality, a bunch of reliable Bush ass lickers. Disgusting.

'and a great big throbbing purple-veined beer-can thick...'

etc.
etc.
etc.

Just go ahead and fellate him already.

No, on second thought--Brian Williams: Suck my dick!

appear brilliant and never the ass that he is.

and go over their notes to see what they can say about their meeting with the Chimperor. You know, they can't talk about the chimp running around the room throwing feces, not if they want their precious access to the WH.

Giving glowing pre-reviews. When we're actually confronted with *, it won't seem remotely like this image. Not even remotely.

"...the conditions of the conversation do not allow for direct quotation"

What interest have I in Brian or Timmeh's "joint recollections" when they can't even TELL ME WHAT WAS SAID???????

*caps and excessive punctuation indicate outrage and frustration

Still getting used to the New World Order I see...

you mean; he was basically a dick like usual.

notice the word "persuasive" wasn't in there.

and, by the way, president malignant narcissist, the american people are already DONE with 'patience'. we're onto to 'FUCKING PISSED OFF'.

If anyone deserves to be hyper and aggravated, its him.

At least this is a sign that he knows that Congress CAN hold the funding! He's going to threaten the Dems tonight, I suppose. I hope they respond in kind.

with Condi as (sit and) Spinner
and Barnie as Paddlefoot?
