Transcript of Bush v. Irish Reporter?

[GiovanniC]

I caught just a piece of this interview where Bush made a complete ass of himself by looking like Ross Perot on crack and speed "CAN I FINISH? CAN I FINISH?!"

I desperately would like to get my hands on a transcript. Anyone know where I can find it?

1. Would you rather have the video? n/t

"CAN I FINISH?!"

Sounds like he was channeling Perot there!

2. I'm On Dial-Up

So I was having some problems getting the video in any meaningful sense. Plus, I hate looking at Monkey Boy.

What I want is to have some examples of the questions that Irish reporter asked because obviously Ireland still has a free press and she was a stellar example of what journalism SHOULD BE in America.

3. Anyone?

4. "Can I finish? Can I finish, can I finish, can I finish?

He sounded like Ross Perot.

14. Here's my Bush impression...

BUSH: (puts hands over ears) LALALALALALALALALALALALALA!!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!! LALALALALALALA!!!!

"But I do believe the world is a safer place and becoming a safer place."

Um, what was that recent report about a spike in terrorist attacks this year?

I guess the Bush doctrine is that if you say it enough times, it'll soon become true. :sigh:

juicy parts:

THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish. Let me finish. May I finish?

THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish. Let me finish, please. Please. You ask the questions and I'll answer them, if you don't mind.

THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish, please. Please. Let me finish, and then you can follow up, if you don't mind.

THE PRESIDENT: Let me finish.


THE PRESIDENT: Please. Please. Please, for a minute, okay. It'll be better if you let me finish my answers, and then you can follow up, if you don't mind.

11. Odd Thing For Bush To Say

"And no one can argue that the world is better off with Saddam -- if Saddam Hussein were in power."


Thank you so much to both who provided this transcript. I was trying to tell my mom about this exchange but I couldn't remember the questions that were asked. I told her that Bush filed a complaint about this interview because she asked questions that, while relatively mild, were still way more than he's used to. She asked for examples and I couldn't think of any.

Thanks!

I just thought it was funny how much of a dimwit Bush makes hmself out to be at the very beginning.

9. Interview of Bush by Irish Reorter

Sad to say but we only got a glimpse of that interview in the US press. Contact RTE News, Ireland's Broadcasting netwoek. i watched the whole thing on their website the other day - think it was on "Prime Time". They should be able to get a copy to you. probably costs a few euro! Good luck! - Wolftone378

10. Actually I have a link of the whole thing somewhere.

She was professional through the entire thing. Nothing Fox Springer about her accusations, she simply wanted her questions answered. But Bush was such an ass. It was embarrassing to think that is ur president.

12. Hi Wolftone378!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

13. He has trouble with questions, doesn't he?

Q Is that something that really should start, though, with the solving of the Israeli-Palestinian crisis?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think, first of all, you've got a democracy in Turkey. And you've got a democracy emerging in Afghanistan. You've got a democracy in Pakistan. In other words --
