11:15AM EST - News Conference

[Anus Retainus]

Bunnypants is going to have a news conference. No Link - just announced on CNN.

:wtf:

[thebigidea]

1. I predict he says "good progress" at LEAST 5 times

MONKEY: "Now... uh... I know that some of you have seen pictures, picturizing - uh, pictures depictin- SHOWING... pictures and images, which are pictures... uh... showing things on the media, in the media - but... uh, and this is important - the pictures aren't of the many good things going on in Iraq, the pictures aren't making good progress as to how much progress ummm - we've been making. And its clear that we're making a lot of it... and those terrorists - um, they just hate freedom and hate good progress, but we're making good progress on it. No more questions."

[Anus Retainus]

2. And zero mention of OBL & Sadam

I wonder if it's gonna be scripted!

[leftchick]

6. silly you, of course it will be....

and there will be the predetermined questions from the, oh so fawning , predetermined puppy press!

[Richardo]

21. Mistoh Pwesident, do you get your stwength from your bewief in God?"

"Why thank you for asking. Yes. That's all we have time for today."

[zanana]

11. Anus Retainus

Gotta love that username!

[Anus Retainus]

12. Thanks

This administration really causes me all sorts of discomfort!!!

:hi:

[Occulus]

147. My favorite

is from when Ari was there...

"Occulus Repairus"

[leftchick]

3. and terrists, and killing oh about

150 times each!

[karlschneider]

26. "terra" 7 times in the first 2 minutes, I've been counting

:grr:

[bif]

4. "They love killing"

Hate our freedoms. Hate health care. Don't want peace. Killing...killing, terra, kill...

[zanana]

9. Come on, fess up!

You're one of his speechwriters, aren't you?

[thebigidea]

10. I used to do little faux-Bush press conferences here

I gave up when I realized they stopped being parody quite some time ago. The real thing out-ironies me any day.

[sistersofmercy]

16. Hahahahaha! Good morning TBI!

"I am to the leader, we're makin' progress...ummm...we er too...er..uhhh... against those who hate freedom.....ummmm....er...dem dere terraists." says the evil little simpleton.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

Will you promise that there will be less troops in Iraq in 1 year?

It's a trick question, so I'm not going to answer it.

[Kinkistyle]

5. Keep count of the "Terras" and "Freedom"

Someone keep count of how many times he says "terra", "terraists", freedom" and how "terraists hate freedom" and how "terraists love terra" and all the variations of those words. Thats how many times you gotta puke!

[Spentastic]

7. Actually

We used to have a James Bond drinking game. This could easily be modified to make Bush's speeches more tolerable. However, if the drinking words were terrar or freedom you may die of alchoholic poisoning.

[Spazito]

8. I wonder if he has called this press conference to define his latest...

new "words" - pee-ance and free-ance? He used those yesterday, they sound ominous for sure!

[okoboji]

17. too stupid to be prezident

actually makes Dan Quale look like a very brilliant man.

Pee-Ance & Free-ance .... where is that giagantic cane when you need one - too pull his ass off the stage when he messes up like that...

Better yet - The Press Core needs to wheel in a huge Gong and a Chuck Barris look alike, so they can hit it when he messes up.

[hatrack]

95. Wait a minute - "Peance and Freeance"?!?! WTF?!?!

Can you give me a context on those words? This is a new syntactic low, even for the Simian-in-Chief!

[number six]

13. Syria, anyone?

Or do we need a few more weeks of softening up before George starts talking about Syrian terrorists in Iraq?

[leftchick]

14. Here is a yahoo link....

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20031028/pl_nm/bush_briefing_dc&cid=615&ncid=1480

smirkface to hold News Conference Amid Iraq Violence

<snip>

"At 11:15 a.m. the president will participate in a news conference in the Rose Garden," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.
The news conference -- Bush's first since July 30 -- comes in the aftermath of Monday's bloodbath in Baghdad in which 35 people were killed. Another suicide bomber killed himself and at least four more people in Iraq Tuesday.

[Stanchetalarooni]

15. We are getting very close to the part where the Wizard.......

.......admonishes us to ignore the man behind the curtain.

You go, Toto!

[fknobbit]

19. or the part where Bush gets

a brain, Cheney gets a heart and Dashle gets courage!

[Barrett808]

18. Does anybody listen to the Idiot anymore?

Who can stand to even look at him?

[Tansy_Gold]

20. I haven't, can't, and won't listen to him.

Even catching a glimpse of him is painful.

I've so isolated myself from this outrage on my senses that, alas, I don't even know what "pee-ance" and "free-ance" are --- and I've struggled to figure them out. But I'm terribly afraid even to ask, afraid that the further outrage may tip me over the edge.

[prolesunited]

22. Starting now

n/t

[Dhalgren]

23. Will it be on C-Span?

Where online can we see it? Thanks in advance.

[Wednesdays]

24. "Hussein and Taliban are gone"

Oh, really now????

[Hawkeye-X]

27. Lie #1 - Taliban

Bham! There's lie #1 - as far as we know, Taliban are slowly retaking Afghanistan.

Hawkeye-X

[underpants]

25. Not on c-span LINK????????

:shrug:

[prolesunited]

32. I have it on TV — ABC

He looks like crap and he is reading it in a slow monotone voice. All it is is his standard talking points on economy improving, pass energy bill, make permanent the tax cuts, pass Medicare changes, vote on judges. Blah, blah, blah...

[underpants]

LINKto CBS "Live Broadcasts" mid way down

http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/home/main100.shtml

[leftchick]

28. "upbeat about progress of the economy"

:crazy:

[prolesunited]

42. Mike Hunt

called on first. What's his affiliation? They always arrange who will get called on first.

Bush explaining the terrorists attacking us because they fear a free and democratic state. ... They are not going to intimidate America.

Reporter: Why aren't Syria and Iran being held accountable?

Bush: Working with them, increasing border patrols, train more Iraqis

[nostamj]

29. what's wrong with him ???

he sounds catatonic? what the hell does he look like?

[Tripper11]

31. A monkey!?!?! n/t

.

[bushisanidiot]

30. Monotone, bored voice

He looks like he doesn't want to pretend to be prez. anymore.

[TexasPatriot]

34. yeah

he's droning on and on...
it's like he's reading a book report for a book he didnt read

but, on the upside, he actually said 'terror' rather than 'terrr'

[Hawkeye-X]

35. I wish he's announcing that he's resigning

effective immediately and the rest of his maladministration is resigning effective immediately. This way, we can put a legitimate President in. Seems tht every press conference that I wish the same thing, but he greatly disappoints me.

Hawkeye-X

[TexasPatriot]

41. Prozac

just like his father

[Wednesdays]

33. Whining about judicial nominees now.

n/t

[Robb]

38. Does it sound like there's a point?

Why exactly did he call the press conference?

[Corgigal]

36. Oh boy

The Press is asking real questions. I'm going to unmute my TV now.
I hope I'm brave enough to listen without my BP going sky high.

[Cush]

37. um, is he having a breakdown?

[Corgigal]

40. Well

Rush can't use his drugs anymore. Maybe he donated them to the GOP.

[Tripper11]

39. They are...

either, or/probably?!?!?!?! Oh Georgie assuming only makes an ass out of YOU!

[leftchick]

43. "Terrists Fear Freedom the Most"

WTF? Does anyone believe this shit?

[Cush]

44. JOhn King asks about 9/11 Documents

Will you turn them over? IF no, why not?

"I want to help, I do I do I do!"

[underpants]

47. W:Have to determine if documents will be politicized

Presidential daily brief said about 6 times already

[underpants]

53. Well we are working out working out working out the arrangements

Daily brief Daily brief Daily brief (so everyone knows he is president)

[DisgustipatedinCA]

51. Bush is trying to set up a claim for Exec Privilege

The official claim will be coming soon, this is just the first, incompetently done testing of the waters.

[Tripper11]

45. This guy is a f******* mess

He doesn't say anything! And when the second questioner started his question * said "yeah" as if he already knew the question

[Wednesdays]

46. "Ba'athists had special priveledges under Saddam"

Um... :wtf:

[proud patriot]

49. You know like the "special priveledges" haliburtonists get here

:eyes:

[CBHagman]

48. Last-Minute Lucifer rides again

N/T

[markses]

50. Jesus - He's vapid

This is an embarrassing display from an idiot.

Oh boy, here comes the September 11 question:

Softball question gives him the answer.

National security...protect the integrity of daily brief process...certain daily briefs that they would like to see...I want to be helpful to the Chairman...future presidents...protect the capacity for Presidents to get unfettered, real, good, intelligence (A more laughable assertion I have not heard to date - Isn't the whole problem the terrible intelligence!).

[Cush]

52. Norah O'Donnell asks about Mission Accomplished

Will you acknowledge that you were wrong in those remarks?

Bush is basically saying NO

[Anus Retainus]

59. I didn't put up that sign!!

It was there because the Navy had finished their mission!!

What Bull!

[prolesunited]

69. I laughed out loud on that one

Does anybody really think that EVERY aspect of his visit and stage area is not fully vetted by his advance staff. If they thought it was a problem or it could be misconstrued, it would have been removed.

[DoYouEverWonder]

78. I'm sure every aircraft carrier

has a $100,000+ full color wide format output device that can print vinyl banners. Not

Since these folks were just coming back from a war zone and hadn't been in port yet, where the heck did they get the banner?

[Fridays Child]

151. Straight out of chimpy's ass, is my guess.

Just like his head.

[underpants]

60. "Premature in making those remarks?" W:read my speech

He is saying the Mission Accomplished was for the USS Lincoln the work of a brilliant advance man ...oh not so brilliant (no one is laughing)

[underpants]

65. Now sort of linking Red Cross bombing to.........9/11

In back to back sentences.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

64. It was the Navy's Fault!!!!

It was the idea of sailors on the Lincoln to put up the Mission Accomplished sign, not a member of the Bush team.

The buck stops somewhere else, anywhere else, as long as it doesn't stop in the Executive Branch.

[Corgigal]

54. OOOoooh

Talking about the Mission Accomplish on the carrier. Oh she didn't get the talking notes. You're not suppose to ask that.
Said the Lincoln put it up NOT Bushie...LOLOLOL

[Serial Mom]

72. What a f#@king lie!

Said the Lincoln put it up NOT Bushie...LOLOLOL

The WH was, is and continues to be known for its backdrop signs! (and for the laughs they give to people)

[Tripper11]

55. BAM!

That Nora person just slammed him on Mission Accomplished!!!

Stay away from small planes Nora!

[Cush]

56. Suiciders?

[proud patriot]

57. Nora O'Donnel asks "will you aknowledge you spoke to soon"

when on aircraft carrier ....

FUCK YEAH ...Make Him Squirm ...:evilgrin:

[Wednesdays]

68. And now droning on and on about "they hate freedom," etc.

On edit: notice how the reporters are BEGGING him to answer the question: "what are you going to do about the bombers/violence"...and he HAS NO PLAN! He just repeats the scripted phrases over and over...

[bushisanidiot]

83. Yeah, the crew of that aircraft carrier put the "Mission Accomplished"

sign up, according to AWOL, because THEIR mission was accomplished. what an idiot. what a liar!

[leftchick]

58. OMG, he is Hideous, Vomitous, He makes my skin CRAWL

I cannot watch anymore... :puke:


edit: not tomention a broken fucking record, He has not said ANYTHING NEW!

[TexasPatriot]

61. there he goes...

Iraq today...
it's just like sept 11...
war on terror..

asshole

[Magleetis]

62. CBS news

has a live webcast

[markses]

63. Same mentality as September 11

"Iraq is a part of the war on terror"

Liar Liar Liar Liar! Fucking weasel.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

66. Okay, I am biased, but he is UNBELIEVABLY LAME

It's very difficult for me to be objective about this, but he can barely put a sentence together. Astounding.

[Corgigal]

67. Normally the Press pisses me off

but I feel bad for them right now and I hope they took No Doze.

[Spazito]

70. Geez, he sounds seriously drugged up!

Weird voice!

[fknobbit]

71. Actuable?

[Tripper11]

73. Somebody please ask him about...

the Haliburton contracts...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!

[Cush]

74. Um George, about the schools & hospitals

they were opened during the war......

[Corgigal]

75. Newsflash

Bush says Iraq is still a dangerous place, over and over and over again.

[Serial Mom]

81. What a f@#king lie!

That's seems to be my only response to what I hear he says (that a$$!).

If it's still a dangerous place, then why yesterday's comments by this idiot are a lie - they attack us cause we are making so much progress?

:wtf:

[prolesunited]

85. It's just terrorists, though

All of the other Iraqi people are just thrilled to have the U.S. as an occupying force, running their government and lives, piping the oil out of their country, selling off all of their publicly held interests to their buddies in private industry. :eyes:

[heidiho]

76. And We're Not Leaving!!!

[jus_the_facts]

77. Oh.....WE AIN'T LEAVIN'.....the TERRAIST want us to.....

....but we AIN'T gonna :puke:

[heidiho]

79. We Ain't Leavin Till We Get The Oil . . .All The Oil

for my rich friends.

[Tripper11]

80. I'm sure you have all noticed that...

everytime he finishes a sentence he gets that little smirk...like "I did it, another sentence!!"

Jeebus H. Cheerist!

[stevedeshazer]

82. Sirens in the background

Getting louder...

[Khephra]

84. What a waffle on the I/P Fence!

:crazy:

[DisgustipatedinCA]

90. Not even a waffle

It was incoherent; complete cognitive dissonance. He said less than nothing.

[underpants]

Terry Moran asked why no CONCRETE actions on it

W ran and hid on that one.

[heidiho]

86. A 5th Grader Could Explain the Middle East Situation

better than this JACKASS!

I'm so ashamed that other countries in the world think this jackass and moron represent the people of this country.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

87. Will you put the squeeze on Sharon r.e. illegal settlements

Uh, Abu Mizan is out of power. It will be hard to move a peace process forward. Terra.

He IN NO WAY ANSWERED THE QUESTION.

Ah...now talking about "settlement activities".

Stumbling over every other word.

The ground must be right. He's talked to Sharon in the past about settlements. Palestinian people need leadership.

Sounds like it's all the fault of the Palestinians.

[amish_enforcer]

88. This briefing brought to you by Tylenol

what a mess LOL

[jus_the_facts]

99. More like Rohipnol(sp?)....the rape drug....

the f'n FREAKS.....come on BEND OVER! :freak:

[Tripper11]

89. Ashionable?????

[underpants]

91. Intel in Iraq says we have 6 months or we could lose the Iraqi people

More troops?

W is talking about small businesses opening and new books in schools, that is in Iraq not the US.

[thebigidea]

92. favorite line so far

"We will not be satisfied until every American is looking for work..."

and what the fuck is a "suicider"?

SAD

[FlashHarry]

97. He didn't say that, did he?

Looking for work? How about working, you jackass!

[thebigidea]

111. yeah he did...

something like

"we will not be satisfied until every American is looking for work... uh, that needs a job."

Obviously a Freudipublican slip.

[heidiho]

93. These Reporters Are Cowed So Badly

it's as if they are afraid to stand up and speak.

It's so rehearsed and lame.

[Cush]

94. talking about Pre-emption

Why won't you attack Arafat?

Bush: Not every action requires military action. Military action is a last resort :eyes:

[Khephra]

102. I think that may have been off script

Notice how flustered he was in trying to answer it, and now his snippy response ("That's a trick question so I'm not going to answer it.".

[underpants]

104. Not every action requiresmilitary action. Military action is a last resort

This nation does not rush to war.

Well it didn't used to.

[Magleetis]

96. He is clearly

very uncomfortable. He is the worst ever.

[TexasPatriot]

98. heheheh

"Military Action is the very last resort for us" gobble gobble gobble...

Clark's hammering must have stung...

[nostamj]

100. yo W!!! stop thumping the damn podium

or whatever he's leaning on today.... how annoying is that

[amish_enforcer]

101. Not one,two, or three, but......ALOT!

LMAO, GO GEORGIE!

[proud patriot]

130. LOL

I'm completely embarassed for America right now .

[City Lights]

103. Condi is an "unsticker?" n/t

[Corgigal]

113. enumberial

whatever that is.

[markses]

105. The second question is a trick question, so I won't answer it

"Unstick her."

What an unbelievable imbecile.

[Magleetis]

106. A trick question?

you are a sharp one *

[prolesunited]

107. I didn't hear the second question

What was it?

Bush said he wasn't going to answer it is because it was a "trick question." He said it so smugly, too. Oooh, I'm so smart. You're not going to catch me.

"Rice is an unsticker." :wtf:

[heidiho]

109. Can you promise us that at this time next year

we will have less troops in Iraq? (or something very close to that)

[prolesunited]

116. What an ugly, hateful ass!

The radio guy thanks him and he tells him he has a face for radio.

Guy: Not the first time you told me that
B: First time I told you that in front of a national audience.
Guy: Right, last time you told my wife.

[underpants]

108. W says question about bringing troops home is "trick question"

so he won't answer it

[Khephra]

110. "Face for radio"????

Bush is a fucking bully. Notice how often his "chummy" remarks refer to the Press member's looks.

[heidiho]

115. I HATE THIS MAN SO BADLY!!! HELP ME!!!

[markses]

120. Somebody interrupts Bush

He bristles badly: Not since you interrupted me.

A tiny-penised, insecure little man.

[stevedeshazer]

122. What a thin-skinned bastard

Did you hear the rest of the press corps groan?

[nostamj]

112. condi rice = "unsticker"

he's just unbelievable.

[underpants]

114. Why not have staff sign affidavit on leak? W:"The press says that

because the want the people to believe that it is the truth"

That has preprepared Rove response all over it.

[bhunt70]

126. What was the "trick question" ?

...

[markses]

117. Shitbird tells Mark Smith he has a face for radio

Mark Smith slyly retorts "I wish I could say that was the first time you told me that" (no doubt referencing Dubya's repetitive nonsenses - he comes out with a line, and sticks with it). A scathing insult from a member of the press, IMHO. Bush, of course, didn't get it.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

118. My relations with Mr. Korizumi are close and personal n/t

[fizzana]

119. The media is still way too circumspect

n/t

[cally]

My favorite question so far

Why should future generations have to pay for Iraq

Bush yammers a reply. * is making no sense today. He just rambles and brings up terroists against our freedom over and over again.

[Tripper11]

121. Who interuppted?

What did he yell?

[Kinkistyle]

123. Wow John Stewarts gonna have a ball with this!

Sounds like the Daily Show is gonna have some great material tonight! Could prolly fill the whole show up with just Bush and his stupid Iraq tricks.

[underpants]

124. "Terrorists depend on the death of innocent people to create fear

and to make people lose their will"

Direct quote

[Fridays Child]

125. What an arrogant, podium-thumping little martinet.

We must never forget the lessons of September 11th. Thump thump thump.

[markses]

127. SEPTEMBER 11 SEPTEMBER 11 SEPTEMBER 11

Bush is a miserable liar, a despicable human being.

History will not be kind to this sick twist.

[heidiho]

128. Tom, Do You have A Question; if not make one up

IDIOT! JACKASS! MORON!!!

[bushisanidiot]

"You Got A Question"

What an articulate president we have!

[graphixtech]

129. D-- for phoniness

He liked repeating the "Vice" Chair's name (Livingston) of the 911 commission.

He was adament that the energy bill that he proposed two years ago needs passed. Domestic production, supplies etc.

His monotone voice betrays his complete lack of passion for any of the social issues mentioned.

'Military action is a last resort for us. We try to enforce doctrine peacefully!??'

'Condoleeza Rice's job is to unstick things that get stuck.
She is an "unsticker".'

Speaks like an evasive child who needs to sift through the lies.
What an incredible arrogent lying, ass.

Painful, painful, painful.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

133. Congrats on 600

Too bad you had to go over the line during this bad-tempered monkey's press conference.

[prolesunited]

We are at WAR!

They will attack and kill us. Brings up Sept. 11.

I think everyone is getting tired of this schtick. It all boils down to, let us do whatever we want, OR THEY WILL KILL YOU!

[nostamj]

131. this was a HUGE mistake

Rove must be cringing.

his worst performance ever. Fox will somehow spin this into a sterling act of statesmanship but...

has he ever made a worse impression???

[diplomats]

135. The WH must be desperate for him to do this

Bush only holds press conferences when there's some sort of crisis (because he's so pathetic at them).

[mac56]

143. He sounds like he's loaded.

nm

[heidiho]

132. First Leader to Advocate a Palestinian State???

It requires good, strong, capable leadership (while thumping podium)

[Corgigal]

134. Call the Iraq war

"OUR" war. Like hell it is, it's your war.

Note to any logic thinking person, nation or terrorist.. It's NOT our War. Never was.

[Fridays Child]

136. Shrub just confirmed it: Ann Coulter and the fr**pers are not Americans!

Americans don't believe that all Muslims are terrorists. Americans believe that terrorists have hijacked the good and peaceful religion of Islam.

[wuushew]

146. This will not go over well in the Muslim world

n/t

[spotbird]

137. Did I miss any questions about Traitorgate??

Doesn’t he answer questions like a high school junior who has to get up to 500 words on the essay exam but hasn’t any idea about the topic except the question?

[heidiho]

138. The World Is More Peaceful and More Secure Under My Leadership

Three more then I'm going to eat lunch.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

139. Who's the butt-kisser

Mr. President, since you've been accused of having a war for oil, what do you think of some of those same people trying to take Iraqi oil money in the form of loans as part of the 87bn? (paraphrase)

Good puppy.

[cally]

140. ROFLMAO...Oil

"the only way they (Iraq) could repay loans is with oil and um..um..um

Hopefully we get a good outcome from congress."


Don't want to take that oil money from my friends.

[jus_the_facts]

141. OH MY GAWD.......his PLATFORM for '04.....

....WE'RE BETTER OFF AND MORE SECURE UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP AND HE'LL DEFEND HIS RECORD THAT SHOWS THIS COUNTRY IS MUCH BETTER OFF ...*projectile vomit* :nuke:

[City Lights]

142. Politics is "balloon drops."

[nostamj]

144. "catching the confetti" ??????

now he's cackling over somebody's vest... unF'n believable

[wabeewoman]

145. Will unaltered transcripts be posted

anywhere??? Would like to read the whole thing-can't watch without destroying the TV.

[Fridays Child]

148. Someone gave him a new phrase but forgot to tell him how to...

...pronounce it or what it really means: casus belli

[Wednesdays]

149. He just strutted off with a sour look on his face.

The press was dead silent.

Usually, when a president ends a news conference, there are at least a few smiles and a few "Mr. President"s... There were NO positive vibes this time. It really seemed tense.

[proud patriot]
