I Couldn't Stop Laughing Throughout The Entire Press Conference

[THUNDER HANDS]

It was like a menu of hilarity.

First you have the much talked-about Technicolor neck tie which looked like it should have been curled up into a ball and affixed to the ceiling at a roller skating rink.

Then you had Bush's hair, which seemed to fray at the sides and shoot out like it was trying to escape from his head.

Then you had the actual speaking portions of the press conference, which were enough in and of itself for a night filled with hijinks and side-splitting laughter.

At one point he even said "I will do everything I do for the people of Iraq."

Completely unintelligible, but hey, that's our Bush.

Then, while I was still laughing at that last statement, he says something about mustard gas being found on a turkey farm and I almost rolled off my girlfriend's couch. I was waiting for him to mention rye bread and a pickle and we could have changed the meaning of the acronym WMD to weapons of mass delicatessens.

I can't wait till he gives another one of these.

1. ROFL at the "prez"

Laughing at the "prez" is the best entertainment money can buy...and it's free!!

I'm with you! I don't get mad anymore, I get pains in my stomach from laughing so hard.

Honestly, a few months ago I started feeling so helpless to change the course of this nation that I was forced to take a more zen approach to save my own sanity. Before then I dreaded seeing him on tv. Now I welcome it.

Put him on every day! He's much better than most of what gets aired in prime time. And when his charm wears off, hey, let him flash a nipple or something. ;-)

16. He will be TRULY TOAST

when EVERYONE starts laughinng at him. Now, I just have to convince myself to ignore the seriousness of his highness being president, and let myself laugh at the complete hilarity of his stupidity.

[vetwife]

25. And what about the word "Suiciders"

Not in Websters but sure to appear in Bushisms !
Couldn't think of a mistake. I would have said, "yeah..this press conference..BIG MISTAKE ! LOL LOL LOL

[Gasolinedream]

2. Won't happen again...

at least not before the election. They can't risk putting out the incompetent one yet again in a partially unscripted setting.

The rest of the world must be laughing at us!

[Kazak]

20. He'll have to debate...

That should be a laugh-riot of the highest order.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Same here

My fiancee and I were in stiches! Better than any "reality" show!

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. I almost hacked up a lung

When Bush turned his head to the side, sucked in his lips and jutted out his cheeks like a squirrel hoarding nuts, and then just held that pose...

...and held it...

...and held it...

For like 15 seconds while all the cameras snapped shots of him.

I think he considers that his 'somber, reflective' look.

To me it looked like constipation. :D

[htuttle]

13. Ah, yes. That was a 'moment' wasn't it

Here it is:





And here's Bush doing his Clem Kadiddlehopper impression, shortly before the 'squirrel pose':

[Athame]

24. Okay, NOW I understand the stuff about the tie.

:wtf: is that?!?!

I listened on radio last night. Didn't get the full effect without the tie and those goofy facial expressions. This would be political suicide for anyone else.

4. I couldn't stop crying.....

how far we, as a nation, have fallen since the Clinton years. That bumbling bastard has made our country into a laughingstock.

[OpSomBlood]

9. Yep.

We really took Bubba for granted, didn't we?

[Mari333]

5. If it werent so painful for us that he wants to continue the occupation

and continue putting Michael in harms way, and continue to kill people with his policies, I would have laughed.
I cant laugh now. Its too serious. It can destroy too many lives, including Michael's.

7. Can't understand why reporters tolerate the bastard...

If I were a reporter, I would probably torpedo my notebook and pen at the lier. Run him off stage. These reporters speak eloquently and they sit there like retards, listening to bush embarrass our
Nation.

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. because they want to keep their jobs

You get on Bush's bad side and you probably won't be covering the White House again. No reporter wants to lose their dream job covering the White House (even though White House coverage isn't the most prestigious thing a reporter can be assigned to).

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

8. Has anyone ever seen the movie "Zoolander"

Will Ferrel played the villain and at the end of the movie they have that classic scene where the villain is exposed and he has a breakdown and starts pointing fingers and making excuses and blurting out nonsensical things and rambling like a crazy person. And everyone sits quietly because they are so embarrassed for the person.

Bush reminded me of that last night. I felt crazy myself, just watching it, and a lot of the reporters seemed like they were feeling the same way.

11. What were you smoking/inhaling/drinking/shooting ??????

And why weren't you sharing

:cry:

PS - you coming down for the party/protest?

[THUNDER HANDS]

12. i'm so bad with dates

When is this again...I know I'm gonna make it I just don't want to miss it.

And no, me and loafie were just high on our love for eachother.

:D

[LynneSin]

14. My Friends and I

Played a drinking game.

Drink every time * mispronounces a word or verbally SNAFUs a sentence.

AND

Drink every time * lies.

Needless to say, we got wrecked.

An example:

"This has been tough weeks in that country."
Verbal SNAFU! Drink!

Most of Iraq is relatively stable.
LIE! Drink!

We have set a deadline of June 30th. It is important that we meet that deadline.
LIE! Drink!

As a proud and independent people, Iraqis do not support an indefinite occupation -- and neither does America.
Which is why we're voting you out in November!

On June 30th, Iraqi sovereignty will be placed in Iraqi hands.
LIE! Chalabi hasn't been an Iraqi in decades! Drink!

And as to whether or not I make decisions based upon polls, I don't. I just don't make decisions that way.
Double LIE!

Well, let me step back and review my thinking prior to going into Iraq.
LIE! There WAS no thinking!

Saddam Hussein was a threat.
LIE!

He was a threat to the United States.
STILL LYING!

I was -- on that day I was angry and sad: angry that al Qaeda had -- well, at the time, thought al Qaeda, found out shortly thereafter it was al Qaeda -- had unleashed this attack; sad for those who lost their life.
VERBAL WHAT-THE-FUCK. Drink heavily!

As the ultimate decision-maker for this country...
LIE! That would be Dick Cheney and Karl Rove.

One of my hardest parts of my job is to console the family members who have lost their life.
ANOTHER VERBAL WHAT-THE-FUCK!

You know, I just -- I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer, but it hadn't yet.
Verbal what-the-fuck, plus a LIE... it won't "pop" into his head, it will be piped into the earpiece.

And my job as the President is to lead this nation into making the world a better place. And that's exactly what we're doing.
LIE!

It's a conviction that's deep in my soul.
LIE! He has no soul!

17. DID YOU SEE THE EXPRESSION ON CONDI, KARL AND

Andy's face during the conference. Andy Card looked like he was laughing the entire time. Karl had his arms crossed and was looking at the boss with contempt probably thinking "How are you going to answer that one, doofus." Condi was shrinking in her chair and trying to disappear. Do you think they were begging him to get back to work or what?

[SoCalDem]

18. I listened on the car radio, and I have to tell you.. I kept seeing this

He's looking and sounding more and more like:



Read about his fascinating life ... a really cool guy

19. i LUUUUV your sense of humor

funny that was. i enjoyed it, thank you. thank you for sharing your experience. huge ass smile

[Kazak]

21. I wished someone had had the nads...

to confront him about his earbug.

[DietVanillaCoke]

22. You ain't kidding....

It's bizarre how his eyes seem to glaze over as he lapses into one his "ummmmm" moments. As he stuttered and paused, I was constantly saying, "Spit it out, dammit!" much to the annoyance of my Republican family members who were also present.

[Zenaholic]

23. During his speech he said "Insticated"

I think he got the words "instigated" and "indicated" jumbled and it came out "Insticated" Hilarious stuff, if it weren't so sad.

I already stated this elsewhere but it's worth repeating:
Somebody should ahave aksed him if he made any mistakes during his speech.
