Rumsfeld war briefing coming up: these things are always so much fun

[mopaul]

[goclark]

1. Popcorn time

Hope we don't have to hear the media laughing at his so called jokes.

He is not funny and they are not funny.

[Neerav B. Trivedi]

2. Popcorn & beer to watch Rumsfeld fry!

Actually, its popcorn and beer, since I can understand Rummy's words better after having those two items.

[tridim]

3. Channel?

[mopaul]

5. msnbc i guess

[sui generis]

4. I saw him flapping his arms like a mad leather queen yesterday

throwing together a truffle souffle trying to make his points. A few beats per minute faster and he would have attained lift-off.

Disclaimer: (my abject apologies to mad leather queens everywhere the world over whom I may have inadvertantly offended with my politically incorrect attempt at humor :evilgrin: )

[xray s]

Will anyone have the balls to ask him why he said this on MTP

"The people, for example, in Guantanamo Bay, are Osama bin Laden's bodyguards. They're suicide bombers. They're terrorists. They're murderers and these are bad people. These are not good people. In fact, we've been releasing hundreds of them, and 11, 12 have already turned up back on the battlefield trying to kill innocent men, women and children"

WHY DID HE RELEASE HUNDREDS OF OSAMA's BODY GUARDS, SUICIDE BOMBERS. TERRORISTS AND MURDERS? OR WAS HE LYING ABOUT HOW BAD THE GUANTANAMO DETAINEES ARE? WHICH IS IT RUMMY?

[oasis]

11. Rummy will hand over the tough questions to his "yes man" General Casey.

[xray s]

14. Isn't it about time some Generals lose their jobs?

I mean, besides those that don't tell Bush what he wants to hear?

[oasis]

19. Gen. Shenseki lost his job when he said we would need 300,000 troops

to invade and occupy Iraq. Wolfowitz and Rummy gave him the axe.

Everyone else quickly fell into line.

[goclark]

6. Channel please

He is so pompous and smug.

I wish a Helen Thomas type would give him a hard ball on the first question.

[Spazito]

12. It is on CSPAN

[mopaul]

8. someday we'll look back with pride

[oasis]

9. "Historic accomplishment". Rummy so wants to shape history and put

his stamp on it. He's surrounded himself with a bunch of yes-man generals to help him lie to America.

[leftchick]

10. the terrists have lost safe haven in Fallujah??

tell that to the families of folks killed there last week. Every fucking thing he is saying is a lie.

[leftchick]

13. rummy: since sept 11 we have been engaged in a struggle

making the saddam/9/11 connection again. over and over... this is sick!

[goclark]

15. What is that red button? on his lapel?

It looks like a evil devil's head on my TV

[Moochy]

Aruba pin? :)

Roomate said it was a solidarity pin for the missing girl in aruba.

(he was kidding)

[goclark]

42. Looked like it was shining like a glow button

[leftchick]

16. we are fighting them there and not at home

THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!!! :banghead:

[goclark]

18. RumBall Iraq is not tied to 9 11 !!!!!!

I see where this is going.
Why don't they call him on this shit.

[leftchick]

24. NO ONE QUESTIONS THAT CONNECTION !!

they all make it over and over and not one of the news HOs questions them!

[goclark]

28. Tells the reporters that they can not yell

lady said that she was not yelling but they did NOT call on her.

[mopaul]

17. carbombs are strictly a weapon of terror

could they be considered wmd's?

[leftchick]

20. whao... what a softball question

about how our troops feel. Must be a faux news whore.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. Gannon/Guckert's replacement

n/t

[mopaul]

23. using the word 'quagmire' gives aid and comfort to the terrorists

and kills a soldier

[htuttle]

39. It makes the Baby Jesus cry, too

[goclark]

25. Was that OLielly's twin asking that last question?

These questions are truly SOFT balls!

Too , too staged!

[leftchick]

26. yes indeed

it looks like a fucking dog and pony show for the pentagon. This is sickening. :puke:

[leftchick]

34. omg... on to SHARK ATTACKS!!!

:crazy:

[dogday]

21. It's Hard Work

It's Hard Work

[dogday]

27. Sell This War Gen Casey

You can do it, the administration is counting on you to say U. S. is not losing Iraq war....

[goclark]

Casey is telling but, but lies and he knows it nt

"We'll call on you in an orderly way"

HA

[maveric]

29. The Rummy & Casey Bullshit hour!

:puke:
"American people need to remember Sept 11". re: Iraq war

I get so tired abour hearing bout the sham Iraq election too.

[oasis]

30. Casey the Clown won't answer the reporter's question and Rummy steps in to

shut her off when she protested. What a farce of a press conference.

[medeak]

31. how many press briefings have there been today? it's been nonstop

since I woke up this am! Blech!

[goclark]

33. They are saying the same old stuff

stopped coverage!

[dogday]

35. Talking Points Iraq War=Good

Dissent=Bad

[paparush]

32. Daily Level of Attacks has Actually decreased

See, we are making progres....

[goclark]

What a farce!!

[Moochy]

36. HOUSE CHAPLAIN?

WTF CSPAN cuts to a blessing in the HOUSE??

[leftchick]

38. cnn cuts to Shark Attack

rummy must have given the order to shut it down!

[Moochy]

43. CSPAN-1 covers house proceedings

Upon reflection, it is the charter of CSPAN-1 to cover all the house proceedings, so it makes sense. Convenient, but I think predetermined, and not a shutdown per se.

But, more importantly am I going to be attacked by a Terrist Shark with a frickin laser on its head? :-)

[paparush]

37. CSPAN cuts out on Rumsfeld...

to cover House...it cuts right into the opening prayer...ARGGGGGHHH.

[paparush]

41. 1st Rep to Speak is from NC...

and she tells about a ceremony she attended at Calvary Baptist Church. ARRRRGGGHHH...THEOCRACY THEOCRACY THEOCRACY THEOCRACY THEOCRACY THEOCRACY

Patriotic Spirit in Church...

THEOCRACYTHEOCRACYTHEOCRACYTHEOCRACYTHEOCRACYTHEOCRACY

[mopaul]

40. 'the perception of defeat is a failed one'...says mr. anchorman

trying to sum up the blather

[leftchick]

44. how long did that last?

all of 8 minutes? I think rummy had a melt down.
