GMA-Bush gives LIVE "exclusive" interview with Diane Sawyer

[XanaDUer]

about the Hurrican Katrina disaster.

WTF!?

[KyndCulture]

1. wtf????

he's never done anything like that before..what's the beady eyed monkey up to now?

[XanaDUer]

2. He's on NOW!

...

[rfranklin]

3. This is the beginning of the PR campaign...

to deflect the responsibility for cutting funding for levee repairs and the lack of reponse during and after the hurricane. It's a lot cheaper than actually doing anything. And by the time they're finished it will be Clinton's fault.

[XanaDUer]

5. Yup.

The fact that his lazy-vacationing ass is even doing this smacks of him b eing forced to, by Rove.

[salin]

16. too bad for him, that whenever he does the live shows

"to kick off PR" - he is horrible and they have to try something else. He is just horrible in this format.

[Ms. Clio]

69. Already is, according to one rightwinger I know

And he insists nothing would be different right now if a Dem were President.

Nothing will change him until it affects him personally.

[RockaFowler]

4. OK Let me Puke Now

I hate the smirks. He is so arrogant and full of himself.

Wait a second :puke:

No I still feel queasy.

[Sugarbleus]

6. ROFL....!!

You are so right about his attitude..and looks. lol

[watrwefitinfor]

26. I can't quit screaming at the tv long enough to puke.

Diane: Our correspondents want us to ask you why there was no massive effort to get water and food in to those people the first day.

Smirk: First of all, people gotta understand we're gonna do everything we can to get food and water to them. Food is on the way. Water is on the way. SHIPS are on the way.

Diane: But our correspondents are asking why weren't plans made to get water there when a category 5 hurricane was being forecast.

Smirk: There was no indication then that the levees would be breached...
"I hope people don't play politics with this now."

(Paraphrased.)


Wat

[Solly Mack]

34. "I hope people don't play politics with this now." that's the fuckers

standard comment whenever he fucks up and doesn't want to accept responsibility.


it's not him...oh no, it's never him...it's people playing politics.

[leftchick]

52. POLITICS?????

this from the mother fucker who does NOTHING but politics!

:puke:

[chefgirl]

7. He is a National Embarassment...

He doesnt think ANYONE could have predicted the breach of the levees.

WTF??? :banghead: What planet does this idiot live on??

-chef-

[NYC]

12. Did he say that?

No one could predict the failure of the levees? Everyone predicted.

[kodi]

20. just like no one thought anyone would fly planes into the WTC?

douchebag

[NYC]

30. Chris Matthews must be in on this lie.

Someone posted earlier that Chris Matthews said that no one could have predicted the collapse of the levee. Of course, this reminded everyone of Condi Rice.

Now, Bush is saying it on television. Talking point?

[chefgirl]

31. Oh yeah, he said that

With his whole face hanging out, he said that!!

Once again, either he's a liar or a moron....take your pick.

-chef-

[kliljedahl]

59. May I pick "All of the Above"?

[PA Democrat]

40. Yeah, just like no one could have predicted that terrorists would fly

planes into buildings. God, I hate this asshole. His incompetence is criminal.

[lectrobyte]

47. Damn straight. There was a National Geographic article that I

don't have the link for, and this "what if" on Hurricane Ivan that is scarily on the mark.

http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/o/nov04/nov04c.html

[Bumblebee]

54. but he does not read, remember? -- and no one told him, so his advisers

will all get medals of honor,

[jayfish]

63. Here Is A Link.

http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0410/feature5/


Larry King brought this article on his show last night. Everyone will know about it before long. They cannot hide their incompetence.

Jay

[Roland99]

65. Great article

[jayfish]

67. It's An Amazing Testimony To The Value Of Science...

over(not necessarily religious)faith.

Jay

[Window]

38. I simply cannot believe this idiot.

How I detest that POS.

[Must_B_Free]

8. this moron is hilarious!

"refinery - that's the plant that manufactures the gasoline!" (proudly)

[XanaDUer]

10. It's a comedy.

...

[KyndCulture]

21. hahahah good for you georgie

that was a FOUR syllable word.

[Spinzonner]

9. The Idiot-in-Chief said that nobody could have anticipated the levees

failing.

Say What ?

That was the greatest risk if the storm had stayed Category 5 and/or hit the city directly.

Sounds like another Condi-crap statement: Nobody could have anticipated terrorists crashing planes into buildings.

Apparently its only the Bush Administration that can't anticipate and prepare for the obvious.

[Must_B_Free]

13. "These levies got breached"

[salin]

14. can't prepare? Or intentionally cut funds and CHOSE not to

prepare.

[expatriate]

17. jThat is just too damn much!

Every schoolkid in Louisiana knows that those damn levees on Lake Ponchartrain and the Mississippi River can be breached, and that New Orleans has been one bad hurricane away from just this situation! The levees have to be continually improved and maintained, and Bush himself cut the funding for that.

Oh please, the truth has to be made known. If the campaign starts to cover up this latest screw up ...

[leftchick]

53. so what did veteran bad reporter dians ask him after that?

any follow up? Of course not because she has no fucking facts in her head.

[salin]

11. They do a live show whenever he is tanking... and inevitably

he does horribly and tanks further (tanks = sinks in polls.)

[Botany]

15. watch for me

...... I can't handle seeing him. His handlers know he stepped in it big
time and are now trying to cover his ass.

[Must_B_Free]

18. "Some will send Kaash Dollurs"

He has such a disingenuous eyebrow lilt...

[Must_B_Free]

27. OH MY GOD the 911 play

wretch... Side by side photos.

"Look everyone, he's got the same look as he did on 911"...

[Bumblebee]

56. as opposed to non-cash dollars?

Boy, I am happy I contributed to the Red Cross before he appeared on the scene. Would have hated to enable him to think I did it because "my president" asked me to do it. Watch how they are going to use this line. Maybe we should all write in comments when we contribute that it's not because of him but despite him!

[notadmblnd]

19. he don't want the help.. he aint asked for it

but they can send cash. what a buffoon!

[glarius]

66. He never mentioned that several countries have offered help and are

waiting to hear back from him! The son of a bitch makes it look like America is on her own and no other countries have even bothered to offer help....Canada, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Russia...etc...etc....have all offered help and been rebuffed!

[Roland99]

22. ZERO TOLERANCE re: Looters!

Even people getting food/water for their families should be arrested!


WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT PRESIDENT!!!



And!

Re: gas prices, Diane Sawyer asked him if oil companies should cut profits, even a conservative host said a 20% cut in this time of crisis.

*'s response? Avoided the question and said he wanted to see corporations give money to charity organizations to help out in the south.



:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Roland99]

23. He just cackled!

Now he's smiling and laughing about not heading back to D.C. instead of fund-raising.

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. I take it Sawyer is not questioning or challenging any of this?

Not on here.

[Roland99]

28. She questioned him re:lack of guard

Also questioned him that people in NOLA expected an armada of help the day after the storm and now it's 4 days later and still not enough help.


*'s answer?

Help is on the way.


He avoided the question...he's been doing that all interview.

[tblue37]

60. Help, like freedom,

is on the march.

[Roland99]

25. Diane Sawyer saying the photo of him looking out plane was similar to 9/11

photo.



Well....YEAH

[Must_B_Free]

33. Interesting the black anchor lady getting antsy

"people are saying we need the help NOW"... said it twice franticly.

The pot bellied white guy is just like "it'll get there eventually"

[PA Democrat]

42. Yeah, and I'll bet Karl Rove sells copies of that one also to fund raise

just like the assholes did with the 9-11 photo.

[bullwinkle428]

62. There is a way to get me to buy that picture -

if they printed it onto every square of a roll of toilet paper!!

[RockaFowler]

29. The Extent of the Storm

He said that he doesn't want people to play politics at this time. Am I missing something?? He plays politics everyday. He surely isn't a real President. A real President would hae gotten down there and chipped in to help.

He doesn't want to get in the way of the rescue operations. Yet he went to Florida last year to hand out Ice and Water. He is a LIAR. I am sick and tired of the lies.

No Mr Bush a President is there for all the people - not just the ones that need your vote.

End of rant

[PA Democrat]

43. "Don't play politics" Translation:

Don't examine my total and complete incompetence, my lack of basic human empathy. Don't point out that once again I was MIA when the nation faced a tragedy of immense proportions.

[KittyWampus]

32. Bush Refuses To Demand Oil Corps To Forgo Some Profits During Emergency

Please, this is the "take-away" to focus on.

Bush Refuses To Demand Oil Corps To Forgo Some Profits During Emergency

She says a conservative commentator suggested Oil Corps forgo up to 20% in their profits to deal with this emergency.

Bush says... he urges they send cash as volunteer donations to relief effort.

There you have it...

The relief effort is up to private citizens and federal government.

Corporate citizens, on the other hand, need not donate or sacrifice.

[Skidmore]

35. On a similar note, I just saw a headline in a newstand for

our local paper which said Iowa citizens could not expect the government to remove taxes on gasoline either to provide relief. Here in Iowa, you are screwed if you don't have a car to get to work since many people often have fairly long commutes to work unless you live in one of the very large towns. Mass transit doesn't exist. The government is profiting off of this too. It is replacing other lost revenues with this tax.

[I_Make_Mistakes]

37. Actually, people who stutter don't make anything more from

this. How about when he got stuck, eh,eh,eh....That was weird!
She asked tough questions, but, let him off easy with the retort. I think the MSM has finally found their morales and are gonna let him hang himself. That shouldn't take long.

I like when she asked about the oil co's and price gouging. He said he alerted the AG look at this. Then DS said something to the effect of like should the oil co's give 20% up, and get this, he said well, I have encouraged people to give, give generously.

He actually looked like he is gonna have a brake down.

[bklyncowgirl]

36. Did you catch that little smirk, giggle when he talked about destruction

He has no comprehension of the suffering, he has no comprehension of how this disaester affects real people. I could accept a cool, unemotional coldness--at least it conveys that someone is in charge but Bush is positively giddy in the face of this horror.

This man is evil.

[Connie_Corleone]

41. I say it every time.

Bush loves death and destruction. He can't help but giggle and smirk at the tragedy of others, that POS!

[sinkingfeeling]

61. He's a sociopath! He can't even imitate real emotion or concern...

EVER!!

[Roland99]

39. Here's another good one that wasn't shown (Diane just mentioned this)

She's saying now she asked him about air drops of water and food and his response was that it was not very efficient.

WHO CARES?! These people are literally dying of thirst!

[I_Make_Mistakes]

44. Another thing

She asked about international help, he said something like, sure, if they want to give dollars (yes, he said dollars) that would be great.

We already know the more beneficial aid that has been offered, but most Americans don't. He knows the value of the dollar is going, going gone!

[sendero]

45. I happened to accidently..

.... listen to a portion of an NPR report this morning.

The reporter was blathering about the intention of the administration to "send the message" that they are "handling the situation".

It is so fucking typical of this bunch of jackals, all they are worried about is THE MESSAGE, they could care less about the reality.


I actually think that this time the media are not going to let them get away with it. Their total incompetence is so glaring, so absolutely undeniable it simply cannot be spun, and the more they try to do so the worse they are going to look.

[DoYouEverWonder]

46. I just wish Sawyer had the balls

to bitch-slap this asshole silly across the room.

He gets more sickening by the second.

[Roland99]

51. I'd love to have a one-on-one on LIVE TV with the Propagandist.

I'd have him in a quivering heap inside of 2 min.!

[cbear70]

48. I cannot watch it, I will be sick.

[Stephanie]

49. thanks for the reporting everyone

unbelievable.

[XanaDUer]

68. You're welcome.

I was shocked as shit that he was doing this instead of at least pretending to do something.

[LittleWoman]

50. The Clueless Cretin from Crawford

should have gotten off his sorry ass last Saturday and gone back to DC and lined up the relief effort before the storm even hit. Further, there should have been some plan for the National Guard to help with the evacuation. This is what a President is expected to do. The guy in that office now seems to think it is more important to eat cake and strum the guitar, make one last stop at Crawford and then do a sightseeing flight over the disaster on the way back to DC. From January 2000 on this guy's administration has done nothing but undermine this country. Taking his smirking, simpering act on TV to try to make himself look good is beyond the pale!

[peekaloo]

55. All I see is Jerry Lundegaard from 'Fargo'. "He's fleeing the interview".

Why bother talking to this bastard?

[Bumblebee]

57. He is still creating a "record" and he will pay for it

esp for no one being able to anticipate about the levies. That's Iraq all over again -- no one could anticipate that the Iraqis were not going to be thrilled that a foreign power invaded them and then helped ruin their country further.

[suegeo]

58. Did the little crook declare war on extremist storms? (WES)

What nation will he bomb in retaliation for this? Japan? Canada? Africa? (Yeah, I know that last one's not a nation, but I saw a Shrub quote once that indicated dear leader did not)

[goclark]

64. Diane tried but he is a fool and has not a care for any of this

bothering his "beautiful mind."

He had the nerve to say there should be zero tolerance for looters, AFTER she said that some people did not have food or water! " ZERO Tolerance!"

" I I I I I stuttering about his vacation. I I I I I is all he can say.

We "should not play politics," we need to "give cash"
