Bush throws temper tantrum on video - Thread #3

[MidwestTransplant]

Any further word on the video anybody? Perhaps the WH is trying to deep six it. Would be great to see it.

For those who don't know, here are the previous threads:

1. I still can't figure out why a UNION invited that idiot.

What're they thinking? Bush cares about UNIONS? Jeez.

[gmoney]

6. doubt the union invited them, probably other way around

I bet the idea was that Bush wanted to stage a "working class" appearance on labor day, so they picked a swing state with a (formerly) large manufacturing base, and cherry-picked a union that was least likely to raise a stink.

Don't forget, hardhat guys are still a lot like Archie Bunker ...they are red, white, and blue so they're likely to forgive (or at least tolerate) Bush during a "time of war."

And almost anybody or any group would say "yes" to a presidential invitation of this sort, regardless of political affiliation.

2. I hope someone can upload the video...

because I can't seem to get it to load via Action7's news site.

Anyone else having problems with it?

[proud patriot]

4. Yes my popup stopper is stopping it

:shrug:

[Tripper11]

5. Nevermind.....too much security on my puter...lol

EOM :silly:

[kittykitty]

8. It won't load

Just a screen saying "buffering, please wait..." but stays at 0%.
Nothing happens.

[WillParkinson]

26. No problems

But not worth seeing.

The only good line out of it was, "The crowd didn't seem as enthusiastic as they did at other events."

[Must_B_Free]

3. surely a tivo somwhere was set to record the news?

I wanna see it!

[Ilsa]

7. It has to get out there.

People need to see what a hothead and a fake he is. I can't wait to hear the Unions' response when they see him symbolically trash their jacket and logo.

[Rose Siding]

9. Can you IMAGINE if they had a tape like that of Clinton?

It would be papering the WORLD by now. Seems like someone is, at least, thinking twice about releasing it.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

10. at least one Freeper saw it

"There was a group of protestors along the road when Bush returned to the Hopkins airport. He got so upset that when he was getting back on Air Force 1 he took off the union jacket he had on and threw it to the ground. The local affiliates are all playing it for the nightly news as I speak.

UGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!" :evilgrin:

20. Tom Servo posts on the

freep site? And I always loved that little 'bot. I'm deeply saddened by this.

[proud patriot]

19. Well I'll be , sure enough that's 2 people claiming to of seen the fit

Please Please Please let this be seen ...

[never cry wolf]

27. Read the first thread in this discussion

an evil DUer confesses that he posted that. his post starts with "shhhhhh."

[stopbush]

11. Not to worry - the 9/11 TV movie

has just shot an additional scene to include yesterday's tantrum:

As bush boards the plane, a group of five burly NON UNION airline workers (featuring the cast of The Sopranos sporting "Dean/Clark '04" flight jackets) attempt to rip the union jacket off bush's back. Matrix-like, bush levitates in the air as he dispatches the "scabs" in a slow-mo kung fu thrashing.

As the thugs lie senseless on the ground, bush reels mid air and faces them, screaming "From my cold, dead hands, you non-union bastards!" before his feet even hit the ground.

As the action returns to normal speed, Karl Rove pokes his head out of the cockpit to announce, "Good news, sir. I just got word that YOUR economy added one million high-paying union jobs since your speech in Richfield this morning!"

"All in a day's work, Karl," beams the triumphant savant, "Now get these French-loving union bashers off MY plane!" (Music swells, Old Glory unfurls in background as a bald eagle circles over AF 1 before landing on bush's shoulder)

14. ROTFLMAO!!

Funny...Well Said!

[sam sarrha]

12. Where is the video?

:shrug:

[NewYorkerfromMass]

13. patience, it will come out

see post 10 above. It DOES exist.

[Algorem]

17. Channel 3 in Cleveland has video of "President Bush visits Richfield on

Labor Day" on it's site, http://www.wkyc.com ,click on 1st thing on the left.Video Clips.and it's like the tenth one down but you have to have some real player which I cant get right now but MAYBE they at least hve video of him getting back on dee plane or something if someone is able to look at it?

[mountebank]

28. Nothing there...

Nothing on that video, not even clips of the protests. Just Bush glad-handing zombies in the front row.

[Pastiche423]

16. Joe Finan's reply

to my email:

"I think I got taken. I'm sorry I am not usually so easy. Story too sweet, I wanted to believe it. God got me. Joe"

:-(

[Rose Siding]

18. But AWD talked to a cameraman

and the freeps said they saw it. All a hoax? Ah, well.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

24. Yep. It happened.

I hear a lot of this talk. It definitely happened.

[MidwestTransplant]

21. So does that mean it was a hoax or does he just not know about it?

n/t

[Pastiche423]

23. I copied his reply verbatim

To me what it says, is that he thinks he was taken, but does not know for sure.

If a tape is found, would someone pm me, so that I might send it to him.

[Algorem]

22. Why was his news man reporting it then?I didn't hear his show til the 2nd

hour so I don't know how it developed.I do know I saw Bush on Cleveland tv walking up the steps of Air Force One,not wearing a jacket and a big round nasty sweat-stain on the back of his shirt.

[Kolesar]

25. Look on the bright side--His speech on Labor Day bombed

He got coverage for it, but it was not received as a great speech. The protestors got local coverage. Further, his speech and his lame proposals are not even in the news any more.
