Anybody see Bush make a snide remark

[flamin lib]

about a woman reporter in Britain?

I was watching the McLaughlin group and they had a very short clip of * being interviewed by a blond English reporter. At the end she said "thank you very much Mr President" and he did the usual heh, heh,heh and said nice legs or something. I didn't catch it clearly and am curious if anyone else saw it.

1. I think he's now making overt sexist remarks

to quell rumors that he may have a history of homosexual behavior.

[wtmusic]

4. Did he ever tell Gannon he had nice legs? n/t

[BOSSHOG]

13. No, he liked Gannon's Head

[dbonds]

15. Hehe, that made me laugh

[blm]

2. Didn't see it, but it sounds like his idea of a charm offensive.

Idiot that he is.

[BanzaiBonnie]

8. His charm

is offensive!

[Stephanie]

3. He said "you have great eyes" - and it was really smarmy

He said it as if he were George Clooney and she should be delirious with joy that he noticed her. It was really, really creepy.

6. The comeback would have been, "Ya think? Better than Laura's?"

:evilgrin:

[loritooker]

16. Or, "Better than Jeff's?"

10. Poor woman probably has nightmares...

11. It was a Belgian interviewer:

"P.S. Tonight's edition of Belgian public television's main news program broadcast an exclusive White House interview with Bush in advance of the president's arrival in Brussels that contains another embarassing Bush moment. Asked whether differences on Iraq would cloud his visit with the Belgian government, Bush launched into an anecdote about his trip to a chocoloate merchant on his last Belgian excursion. Then, as his attractive female interviewer thanked him and stood up to leave, Bush--apparently thinking the cameras were already off--muttered with a sly look and salacious grin, "You have beautiful eyes!" This on-air flirt, which could be seen Stateside where I caught it, on the international francophone channel TV 5 (of which Belgian TV is a co-sponsor), is being replayed on European television, but -- since our linguistically challenged U.S. TV honchos don't bother with frog-speaking telly--no stateside network has yet picked up Bush's cruising of the Belgian correspondent. Laura, needless to say, wasn't in the room for this "family values" moment..."

12. Oh please "librul media" run that in a constant loop on every effing

"news" channel in the land. Please, please, please.

[thereismore]

19. I swear I saw it on CNN one day after it happened.

It was a remark after they shook hands and it looked like she was leaving the interview when camera focused on * and he said "you've got great eyes". One DU'er here observed that she looked a lot like Hillary Clinton. She did, that's a fact. The remark was made with the same amount of charm and tone that a jerk uses when saying "bitch", after a female had turned her back on him and left.

17. Oh, link PLEASE!

21. I think McLaughlin Group transcripts are available from PBS.

Thread originator, this is your mission today!

18. Thanks guys. I thought it might be something like that.

He really did have smarmy look on his face and the inflection in his voice was like that of a pick-up line.

I just couldn't quite make out the words. Too many rock concerts as a youth I guess . . .

20. Sounds like Bush was drunk when he made that comment

I wonder sometimes if Bush has started drinking again. Or if he really ever stopped drinking.

[flamin lib]

22. It didn't look like he was drunk.

The amazing thing was the transformation his facial expression and body language went through when he thought the cameras went cold. He went from the sincere, presidential pose to a leering smirking frat boy.
